I have a crocheted blanket to share.


The pattern explains the stitch pattern in detail using a crochet chart, and each row of the chart is also explained precisely.

This blanket measures 84 x 67 cm and was crocheted using 350 g of Katia Mississippi 3, with a yardage of 210 m/ 50 g. Of course, this blanket can also be made larger and in a different yarn of your choice.

This small heart-shaped cover is designed for a grain pillow. It measures approximately 25x25 cm and is crocheted in a popcorn stitch pattern. The pattern is explained in detail in the pattern.
You’ll need about 100 g of cotton yarn with a yardage of 90 m/50 g.

A decorative pillow looks great on any sofa. And a hand-knitted decorative pillow looks even better.
This pillow cover is knitted using two colors of cotton yarn (140 m per 50 g). The interwoven pattern is created using slipped stitches - no magic! The pattern is written out row by row and also shown on a knitting chart.

You can find the pillow here.

Each of these colorful rugs is guaranteed to be one of a kind. You choose the colors however you like. It's fun even while you're crocheting it. With each color, you're already thinking about which one you want to use next. That's how a colorful rug grows round by round. It is also very easy for crochet beginners to make. The back is rubberized. You can find all further details on the cover page of the crochet pattern “Colorful Rug”.

I hope you have lots of fun with it. Yours, Ina

P.S. It also works one size smaller ...


Of course, you can also crochet a solid-color rug yourself. This one is very easy to crochet, even for beginners. It’s 75 cm in diameter, so it fits anywhere. Choose your favorite color, buy one maxi skein of affordable acrylic yarn (e.g., G-B Big Wucht, 1,200 meters/400 g, or
another yarn with the same yardage; costs about 8–10 euros), plus a
size 6 crochet hook, and let’s get started! We’ll work with 3 strands of yarn,
so we’ll finish in no time and can soon enjoy our
little gem. The
back is rubberized so it won’t slip.

I hope you have lots of fun with this project—Yours, Ina

There are so many beautiful pillows—it’s hard to choose. Kids especially love this one. Probably also because it looks like a big piece of candy. But it’s also ideal for playing and cuddling. The Candy Pillow is filled with synthetic stuffing, so if needed it can go completely into the
washing machine. It is very suitable for crochet beginners, because we only crochet double crochet stitches. The pillow can be crocheted in different sizes—up to approx. 30 cm in diameter. The method always stays the same.

I hope you have lots of fun making it! Yours, Ina
