It's worth it.

@Authors,
2-3 patterns per author are enough. Don't forget the link and image as well as materials info, technique info, details on the difficulty level and what makes the pattern special.

This great sweater can be made in any size, and as the name suggests, you decide the neckline width, length, and
bust width yourself. Whether with a high collar and 2 or 3 buttons, or for
smaller children perhaps with just one button, everything can be individually
adjusted.
The pattern is completely timeless and can be worn by any gender. A great garment for every season.

As a little bonus, there is a pattern for the matching hat, which also explains exactly how to make it for the appropriate head circumference.

Materials needed:

• You can work with any yarn you like; for women's size 36/38, a 4-ply, plied gradient yarn with a total yardage of approx. 1900 m was used here (the yarn consumption is of course
  dependent on size)
• Crochet hook suitable for the yarn used, here size 4
• 1 - 3 buttons (diameter depends on the yarn weight)
• for the hat, with the specified yarn weight, an additional (depending on size) 250 m to 300 m of yarn

This sweater could become a highlight in your wardrobe. Whether as a short-sleeved shirt, tunic, or as a long-sleeved sweater/tunic, with this pattern you can create everything according to your wishes.

The size, width, and length can be adjusted individually.

Required materials (of course depending on size and design)

• For women’s size 36-40, I used approx. 1600 m of 4-ply yarn (for larger sizes, plan for correspondingly more)

Poncho "Cappuccino" - versatile, cuddly soft, and simply beautiful.

Thanks to two cleverly placed buttons, this poncho is a true
quick-change artist. Since the buttons fit through the openwork pattern, it is
not necessary to work in buttonholes - so the buttons can be fastened at any
spot you like - creating many different
ways to wear it!

Here is the pattern

Two Woolly Hugs BOBBEL-COTTON (50% cotton, 50% polyacrylic, yardage = 800 m/200 g) in color no. 02 were used for the poncho.

The finished cape is 144 cm long (72 cm when folded double) and 72 cm wide.

This poncho named “ Midnight Dream “ is perfect for braving the first autumn weather.

Using the specified yarn and hook size, the poncho shown here has a wingspan of 1.60 m and a depth ( measured without the collar, from the neckline to the point ) of 0.70 m. It can of course be made smaller or larger.You can make it using written instructions and a crochet chart.

A combo pattern for a jacket, vest, cardigan, coat, LFK4With this pattern, four different
models can be knitted in a classic rib pattern (slightly flared/widened at the bottom), based on one basic pattern with sizing information for sizes 36 - 46.
Open models (without a button band or closure band).Skills needed: picking up stitches, knit and purl stitches, decreasing stitches, binding off stitches. Quick to knit.Using many work-in-progress photos, I also explain a stitch decrease that I developed myself, as well as my variations for closing seams (for once
not grafting) and how to knit stable edges. Since I’m always thinking about how I can make the work easier for knitters, especially
for beginners, knitting from this pattern is
very easy, as I prefer uncomplicated cuts; this also applies
to joining individual knitted pieces.Except for novelty yarn, any other material suitable for needle size 8, with a yardage of at least 65 m per 50 g, can be used. More detailed information
on materials and accessories as well as the amount needed (approx. 600 - 800 g) and the gauge is

Reversible poncho, model "crochet love"The pattern (PDF file, 10 pages, 750 KB) is very detailed and accompanied by many pictures, i.e. explained step by step.
Thanks to the pattern I designed, the poncho can also be worn reversible, since the pattern looks very beautiful from both sides. There are many different ways to wear it. I crocheted the poncho shown in the picture from alpaca-baby alpaca-mohair, and we crochet
very relaxed with crochet hook no. 7. More details about materials, accessories, and crochet tips that are also interesting for experienced crocheters are additionally listed in the pattern. Approximately 500 g - 700 g of material (depending on your choice) is sufficient; if fringe is desired on the poncho, this embellishment is also possible,
but then you will need more. However, it always depends on the material used
(yardage, texture, etc.).
