Dear users, dear designers,
You all certainly know the usual Christmas gifts that are somehow traditional, such as socks, ties, or shirts.
There’s basically nothing wrong with these gifts, but if you spruce them up a bit with a new twist, that’s certainly not a bad idea either. Our exclusive designers are sure to have suitable patterns in the shop. Let yourselves be surprised.
Give tried-and-true favorites an exclusive upgrade now.

@exclusive designers,
as always, you can present your thematically fitting patterns here without any quantity limit. Don’t forget the link and image, as well as the usual information.

A train is a traditional Christmas gift for little (and big) train engineers. They come in wood, plastic, metal... But not everyone has a crocheted train! And it’s incredibly practical, especially for very small children, because it has no hard or sharp parts that could hurt anyone or scratch tabletops. And the little train engineers are welcome to take it to bed with them if they don’t want to part with it in the evening. The train is big enough to carry small dolls as passengers, too. It also always makes a great decorative piece for older train fans.
It is not difficult to crochet. However, you will need a little time to sew the many individual pieces together. 
You can purchase the pattern bundle (locomotive + cars) or just the pattern for the locomotive or just the pattern for the cars.
With the bundle, you save 25% compared to buying them individually!

Crochet Patterns for Fashion Jewelry
How about jewelry for Christmas this year?
Quick, easy, and affordable Christmas gifts, made individually for the recipients.

Here are a few crocheted models from my shop Stjerne61

Bracelet
This sweet bracelet is made from crochet thread with beads worked in; it can also easily be made from leftover cotton yarn. Even without beads, in other colors and lengths (as a necklace), this piece of jewelry is an eye-catcher.

Pattern & details for the bracelet

It is crocheted with slip stitches and chain stitches, and loops are also pulled up (pulling up loops is explained in the pattern).

********************************************************************************************************************************

Arc & Lace Necklace
2 different models that are crocheted directly onto a necklace cord.
There is the simple version with just arcs, or the slightly more playful style with lace. Both models can be made even more elegant with beads.

Details & Pattern for Necklaces

At the moment, the set with 2 patterns is 10% off.
Both patterns can also be purchased individually

Arc Necklace

Lace Necklace

Crocheted with the following stitches
  • chain stitches
  • slip stitches
  • single crochet stitches
  • double crochet
*****************************************************************************************************************************All patterns are written without abbreviations, and finished products may be sold.

This is how a traditional poinsettia (potted plant) can be given as a gift in decorative and pretty packaging. It’s very simple and can easily be crocheted by beginners too.


The pattern for the decorative stars (which are also available on their own) is included as a bonus in this pattern.

Here’s the crochet pattern for the “Poinsettia” flowerpot cover.

Here’s the star decoration on its own - great for beginners!

Coming home and putting on warm knitted slippers,
that’s so cozy.something for warm feet

Here is a special pair, especially suitable as a gift,
because it doesn’t look like slippers at all,
but like a little bag,  pattern for it

so there’s also a surprise effect when giving it as a gift!!

The pattern for it is very easy; you need 100 g of yarn with a yardage
of 120 m/50 g and size 3.5–4 knitting needles, as well as 2 buttons

it is knitted with knit and purl stitches, so it really is easy.
