In autumn, the evenings get longer again. That’s when you look forward to cozy hours of reading! The little crocheted "Ghost" bookmark makes sure you always know where you last stopped reading.
You can crochet it in no time, because it’s very easy. All you need are a few scraps of white and black cotton yarn. Here’s a tip: the thinner the yarn, the less bulky the bookmark will be.
The pattern is available here: Crochet a "Ghost" bookmark.

These cute gnomes are easy and quick to crochet—and made from leftover yarn—and they’re useful for lots of practical purposes. You can hide small gifts in them, for example, as well as knitting and crochet supplies. 


They also work wonderfully as an Advent calendar.

The gnomes are very easy for beginners with basic crochet skills to make. The pattern describes every step in detail. You can use lots of colors, so it’s also a great way to use up leftovers.

Here’s the crochet pattern for the gnome family.

Crochet Hat for Everyone - very easy and quick




(For purchase/download, please click the image)

A wonderfully easy-to-crochet hat for different styles, meaning ONE hat model that can be worn in all the pictured variations, for both men and women. It's also easy to make for children, or as a
simple hat for babies (though thinner yarn is recommended),
too.

Benefits:

  • no gauge swatch (exact cm measurements don't matter),
  • no increases or decreases,
  • with any yarn you like
  • possible in all sizes.

The PDF pattern is illustrated.

You will need these crochet skills: chain stitches, single crochet stitches.
Everything else, including slip stitches, is explained. Video/link tips for beginners learning to crochet are included in the PDF.

Material: for the pictured model with a head circumference of 55 cm to 60 cm: approx. 250 g merino yarn, 50 g – 45 m, 6.0 mm crochet hook; measuring tape, scissors, yarn needle for weaving in ends.
Note for other yarns: the rib pattern requires approx. 50 g more yarn than is usually used for hats. The crochet hook size should suit the yarn being used.

Ideal for simple patterns  - so it goes quickly:


LOOK UP instead of calculating - PDF table for knitting and crocheting






(For purchase/download, please click the image)

Here it is - the much-requested PDF table for determining the number of stitches to cast on: LOOK UP instead of calculating - whether printed out or on a smartphone, always at hand - this PDF table is simply practical when you’re on the go.

You crochet or knit your gauge swatch (at least 10 cm x 10 cm), count how many stitches make up 10 cm for you, and can then conveniently look up in the table how many stitches you need to cast on for your desired measurement.


For pattern instructions
"stitch count divisible by ... plus   ..." I recommend this Excel table (click me).

This balloon cover is extremely easy and quick to knit. You only need to know how to knit with a set of double-pointed needles, and how to increase and decrease stitches.
