Not suitable for beginners

Required skills:
The pattern does not include a beginner’s course. You should already know how to crochet single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet and treble crochet, as well as chain stitches and slip stitches.

You’ll also need:

• approx. 100 g of yarn (for hook size 2 ½–3) in sand and vanilla
• approx. 50 g each in lime green and green eyelash yarn
• approx. 100 g of Catania by Schachenmayer in cinnamon for the hair
• Crochet hooks sizes 2.5 and 3.5
• A yarn needle and a darning needle
• Stuffing, embroidery floss in black or dark brown, and dark red
• 12 mm safety eyes, 6 small children's buttons

If you’re looking for some excitement while knitting, we’ve got you covered. A double-knitted scarf will chase away any boredom.

You can find the pattern here.



I’d advise beginners not to try this one—it’s for experienced knitters. You’ll need yarn (150 m/50 g) in two different colors, about 300 m of each color, and 3 mm knitting needles.
Double-knitted items have the effect that the colors on the front and back are exact opposites. Here, there are many dots that are brown on one side and white on the other. This pattern is illustrated in several knitting charts.

Mystery stories often have surprising endings. Sometimes scarves have surprising endings, too.

Take a look at this one.



This scarf is knitted from cotton and features a drop-stitch pattern that gives it a very airy look—so it’s not really suitable for the depths of winter, but rather for the in-between seasons. It’s knitted lengthwise.
And then comes the surprise ending: the fringed ends are crocheted on.

Some mysteries are a bit more subtle. There isn't constant murder and shooting; the suspense creeps up on you. In the end, you often don't quite know how it could have happened.
Here I have a scarf with subtle suspense for you. A simple knitting pattern, mainly stockinette stitch with a narrow lace edge on one side. The suspense develops because it is knitted diagonally, creating a fascinating play of colors. You eagerly follow along from one color to the next. Sock yarns with color gradients are especially well suited for this.

You can find the pattern here.

More exciting than a mystery novel is this rug made from knitting dolly cords. No two rugs will be alike. First you crochet a mesh grid in different colors. Then you pull the cords through this grid, which you made with the help of a crank knitting dolly. With the different colors, it’s really exciting to see how the rug will look in the end. In the description, I show and explain everything in detail—from the mesh, to making the knitting dolly cords, to threading them through, and finally the border. It’s simply a rug that is a lot of fun—to make and later to live with.

I hope you enjoy the knitting dolly rug.

Warm regards from Ina

Another exciting craft project with an element of surprise is this round “Kunterbunt” rug. Depending on which colors you use, it will look one way, another way, or something else entirely. You can make it in the future owner’s favorite colors or use up all the leftover yarn you have. Anything is possible.

Click here for the crochet pattern for this beautiful rug, which you can make in a size of 1 meter or 70 cm in diameter. The back is lined with non-slip material so it won’t slide around and will stay securely in place.

I hope you enjoy making the “Kunterbunt” rug.

Yours, Ina
