The absolute bestsellers in my shop are the doll clothing sets.
I’d like to showcase a few of them here.

1. for Lotta das Schneemädchen

     

2. for Meti Matschhose

     

3. for Greta Gänseblümchen

     

You’ll receive detailed patterns with plenty of photos to help you recreate them.

The clothing fits dolls approximately 36 cm tall.

Required skills:
The patterns do not include a beginner’s tutorial. 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.

The absolute bestseller in my shop is LaPuLi. It’s a simple triangular shawl that offers plenty of variety thanks to its simple yet varied stitch patterns. The stitch patterns are explained in detail and are absolutely beginner-friendly.
It’s knitted with 300 g of Puro Lino by Lanartus, but any other yarn with a yardage of about 210 m per 100 g works just as well.

Baby Traditional-Style Cardigan Size 50/56, incl. Gauge Conversion Chart




(Click the image to purchase/download )



...THE popular traditional classic in a tiny size...

This cardigan can also be knitted as a vest without sleeves (in which case, crochet around the armholes once in green using single crochet).

For this easy-to-knit baby traditional-style cardigan , you’ll need approx. 100 g of, for example, Zimba Top by Schoeller+Stahl in classic traditional gray + 50 g (or leftover yarn) of Regia 4-ply yarn in traditional green for the edging, size 3.0 knitting needles, and, if needed, a size 3–3.5 crochet hook for the decorative foundation chain on the placket.

The PDF pattern includes 15 images .

You’ll also receive, as a bonus, a simplified version of my Excel spreadsheet for quickly converting your gauge to your desired size (applicable to all knitted and crocheted pieces; a spreadsheet program is required, e.g., Excel or LibreOffice—the latter is available for free online).

Basic knitting skills are required (i.e., these steps are not illustrated).
Required knitting skills : cross cast-on, knit stitches, bind off, increase stitches from the strand between stitches, yarn over (for the buttonholes), knit two stitches together.

Conversion table for yarn quantity for alternative yarn for knitting and crochet






(To purchase/download, please click the image)


This is an Excel spreadsheet for automatically converting a yarn quantity from the “original yarn” to an “alternative yarn” of your choice.

Example:
The original yarn listed in your pattern has a yardage of 85 m per 50 g. According to the specifications there, you need 600 g of this “original yarn” for your size. But you would like to make your piece in a different yarn (= alternative yarn). This yarn you have chosen has a yardage of 70 m per 50 g skein. You enter this information into the Excel spreadsheet and immediately receive the required quantity of your desired yarn in skeins and grams.

A gauge swatch is always advisable. To determine the number of stitches needed for your individual knitted piece, the simple version of my Excel conversion table for your gauge is included as a bonus.

Technical note:
To open an Excel spreadsheet, a so-called spreadsheet program such as Excel, LibreOffice (available free of charge http://de.libreoffice.org/) or OpenOffice (available free of charge http://www.openoffice.org/de/) must be installed. Open the file with a double-click, and if the “Protected View” message appears, please click “Enable Editing”

Good luck with all your projects.
