1. Cuddly
Kitten This cheeky little kitten is just begging to be played with! You can crochet it (as shown in the picture) using plush yarn, but it also turns out very cute with thick acrylic yarn (which you might want to brush up a bit). You only need to crochet single crochets.
2. Sleeping Lamb
This little lamb is sure to become a favorite bedtime cuddle toy. You can hide a music box inside its belly playing your child’s favorite song. The lamb turns out especially cuddly when made with plush yarn. A little tip: If you crochet with a thin supplementary yarn alongside the main yarn, you’ll be able to see where the stitches are even with the plush yarn.
3. Crocheted Seashells
These crocheted seashells bring a touch of summer and the ocean into your bathroom. They’re very easy to crochet. Since you only need a small amount of yarn, they’re perfect for using up leftover yarn. Experiment a bit with different yarn weights and colors!

This is another pattern for socks. Here, though, with a rolled cuff. It doesn’t pinch, and you have cozy warm feet in the evening.
The sock is also explained with the simple heel; I only knit the heel this way now.

A diaper pouch is super practical for changing diapers on the go! Everything you need to have quickly at hand fits into 2 large side pockets and an extra pocket for small items.
The closure with the hair elastic is something very special! The elastic is worked in right away and not sewn on. How does it work? I’ll gladly show you in a step-by-step photo tutorial.
Crocheting it is a ton of fun, and you get a great pouch that no one else has and that is guaranteed to draw envious looks! ;-)

With my No. 2 you can, even as a beginner, knit a really wonderful basic triangular scarf for babies and toddlers!


  Click here to see more pictures and more info!

The scarf is great: It is super soft and warm and can be put on with one click. Moms and kids love it! It is suitable
from the time the baby can sit in the stroller and fits for a very
long time (up to 3 years). Especially great: This is a 1-skein project!

         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With my No. 3 you can, even as a beginner with basic skills, knit this fashionable triangular shawl with gradient stripes!


Click here and you’ll go straight to the pattern!

This shawl is a real treat for your neck. It is very easy to knit, but thanks to the special yarn it looks really fantastic, doesn’t it?
There are also lots of other color combinations and looks possible! Both yarns come in many other colors and gradients, so you can also conjure up an autumnal or more wintery design for yourself. Personally, this shawl in this combination reminds me of lovely walks on the North Sea beach—that’s why I also love wearing it in autumn and winter! :-)

Top 1: Unicorn motif shawl



It is crocheted from the bottom up. Basic crochet knowledge of chain stitches, double crochets, and treble crochets is required. The motif shawl was crocheted with a 3-ply gradient yarn. Approx. 900 meters were used. This gives the shawl a size of about 197x85 cm.

Click here for the “Unicorn” pattern

Top 2: “Djamila” soul warmer for adults and kids



My patterns are written without size specifications so that everyone can customize their project individually. I used 3-ply gradient yarn (Bobbel), and for approx. size 36/38 I used 1500 m ll. For the children’s soul warmer, approx. size 122, I also used a 3-ply Bobbel and used 900 m ll.
Regular yarn is also suitable, though.
