Music is balm for the soul; it lets us dream, brings comfort and good cheer. Here, an entire heavenly orchestra is playing for you. 
The little blond-curled angels are easy to crochet. They are about 8 cm tall. Each one plays a different instrument. A wonderful decoration for the Christmas season that brings a smile to everyone’s face.
You can also make the little angels individually (with or without a musical instrument) as guardian angels or gift tags.

The “Rundeck” soul warmer , as the name suggests, starts out round and then becomes square.
This crochet pattern is particularly well-suited for gradient yarn .
First, you crochet a circle, which becomes a square; and to ensure the soul warmer fits larger bust sizes, it’s finally shaped into a rectangle.
You should be able to crochet treble crochets —then you’re all set.
The pattern is written out in words and explained row by row .
You’ll find the material and size specifications inside the pattern.
It has been test-crocheted multiple times in sizes 38 through 48 .

With this shrug, you'll be ready for any weather!

The wonderful textured pattern - 2 different crochet patterns alternate - invites you to cuddle up.
The cut of the soul warmer requires no decreases or increases at all...
... so it is absolutely recommended for beginners, too!

A detailed description guides you through the crochet process.
For clarification, 2 crochet charts can be found in the pattern.
In addition, 3 diagrams help you through the crochet process step by step.

This pattern is designed for sizes S/M/L/XL.
However, the pattern explains how the shrug can be very easily adjusted to any size.
The included cut and the gauge help with that!

And here is the pattern and more details...

The mat is crocheted in continuous rounds with single crochet stitches; one side has paw appliqués, the other side has a crocheted-in paw print.

Knitting pattern Soul Warmer Arctica

Arctica is simply knitted as a rectangle so that it isn’t excessively long in the back. The pattern is simple and easy to memorize after 2 repeats.

One size - quick and easy -


Whether crocheted or knitted: a cozy piece like this is in demand all year round, whether on cool summer days, as an outdoor jacket in the transitional season, or on the couch in winter..

And yes, the crochet pattern looks knitted and is just as cozily soft. But knitters will also get their money’s worth. The stitch pattern is very similar.

The PDF pattern is detailed and illustrated over 23 pages and contains both the crochet pattern and the knitting pattern for the soul warmer and the arm/foot warmers.

The stitches used are explained with pictures. So general crochet or knitting knowledge is sufficient.

Basically, any yarn you like can be used. However, the amount of yarn can vary greatly depending on your choice of yarn and needle size. Details are included in the pattern. My yarn usage when using an alpaca yarn, 50 g – 100 m, according to the label for needle size 3 – 4, but used here: crochet hook size 8.0

• for the soul warmer approx. 500 g in the crochet version
  (approx. 800 g in the knitted version with needles size 6.0),
• for the cuffs approx. 100 g in both versions

What warms MY soul? Something colorful and something soft, and something that brings joy to others or to me.

I already had so much fun making this rug made from knitting spool cords. It was simply fun to crank out the colorful knitting spool cords and later thread them through the crocheted rug. With every row, I marveled at how the colors worked together and immediately started thinking about which color I would use next. Today the rug has long since been given away and is lying in little Laura’s nursery.

It is one of a kind, because it came from my colorful soul exactly the way it looks. And you could make one too—exactly the way you like it.

I hope you have lots of fun with the pattern, in which I have described everything in great detail. Yours, Ina
