In my shop for just one month and already a classic:
the Heavenly Orchestra! You can crochet these little angels (with or without musical instruments) very quickly using just a little leftover yarn. You can hang them on your Christmas tree, give them away as gift tags or guardian angels, or display them as Christmas decorations. Get the pattern, because you always need angels!

If you love a white winter but it’s gray and rainy outside, you can decorate your home for winter—with these delicate snowballs!



This hanging decoration consists mainly of two balls made from photo cardboard, measuring about 8 cm and about 16 cm. The total length of the decoration is about 60 cm. The decoration is very easy to make, but you’ll need a little time and patience.

The Loop Elegancia has already made many people happy.

With the richly illustrated step-by-step pattern, you can crochet your own loop scarf, which is a beautiful accessory when wrapped around your neck twice and wonderfully warm in winter when wrapped around your neck three times.



I crocheted the loop scarf with 1000 m of 3-ply gradient yarn and a 3 mm crochet hook, but you can really have fun choosing your yarn and crochet hook—the pattern looks great with thicker/thinner yarn, too. 

You should be familiar with the following: chain stitches, single crochet, double crochet, half double crochet, treble crochet, puff stitches (Don’t worry about the puff stitches—they are explained in a separate PDF!) 

Here’s the pattern. 

I hope you have lots of fun with this classic! :)

There are many classics, and one of them is a potholder like this:

Potholder - the crochet classic



(For purchase/download, please click the image)

This potholder is considered a classic for crochet beginners.

For this you need 50 g cotton yarn per color for a size 4.5 crochet hook.

The PDF pattern is illustrated, but it is not a crochet course.

The following basic crochet skills are sufficient: 
(turning) chain stitch, single crochet, and slip stitch

Again and again:
 
Baby traditional knitted cardigan size 50/56 incl. gauge conversion table




(To purchase/download, please click the image)



..THE traditional costume classic in the tiniest size..

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

The PDF pattern contains 15 pictures.

You will also receive, as a bonus, the simple version of my Excel table for quickly converting your gauge to your desired size (applicable to all knitted/crocheted pieces, spreadsheet program required, e.g. Excel or LibreOffice; the latter is available free on the internet).

Basic knitting skills are required (i.e. the latter are not illustrated).
Required knitting skills: long-tail cast-on, knit stitches, bind off, increase stitches (from the strand between stitches), yarn over (for the buttonholes), knit 2 stitches together. 

By the way: This cardigan can also be knitted without sleeves (then crochet 1 round of single crochet around the armholes in green) as a vest.

These little cheeky Easter chicks are already making quite a racket with their peeping! But aren't they simply adorable, sitting there in the Easter nest?



The two little ducklings and their friend, the chick, are especially popular as Easter decorations because they are quick and easy to crochet - they are made using only chain stitches, single crochet, and slip stitches.
You can use them to decorate your own Easter nest, or give them as little extras with Easter treats.

So crochet yourselves a whole bunch of these little birdies and bring spring into your home. You can find the pattern and more information here >>>

--------------------

There is probably hardly anyone who has missed the unicorn trend this year. And so this pretty little unicorn princess "Adele" has moved in with me too.



You just have to love her with her wild curls, her gentle lisp, and her love of colorful flowers and all kinds of sweets.

To crochet little Adele, you will need:
  • any yarn in the colors white, beige, red, and pink, as well as a small amount in light green and gold or dark yellow
  • a suitable crochet hook
  • 1 pair of safety eyes in brown
  • and some stuffing

Little Adele is the ideal gift to delight unicorn fans big and small.
You can find the pattern and more information here >>> Take a look right away!

--------------------

And of course THE ultimate classic among amigurumis must not be missing either: the cheeky colorful owls!



You already have so many owls? ..... But you can never have enough owls! Owls are always a good idea! And they bring good luck ;-)

And these little owlets especially, because they are crocheted very quickly and easily from just a few bits of leftover yarn in all kinds of colors, making each one look completely unique every time.

And this pattern is also wonderfully suitable for crochet beginners, because for the owls you only need chain stitches, single crochet, and slip stitches again.

So grab your box of leftovers and let's get started! You can find the pattern and more information here >>>

This beautiful diaper bag has already been crocheted over 100 times and given the thumbs up!
Get this great pattern for a special, completely unique one-of-a-kind piece, too...
 
The bag is simply super practical! I can say that from my own experience, because mine has been dragged along everywhere for over two years! ;-)

You always have everything you need for diaper changes at hand, and for example in a restaurant, you can quickly tuck the diaper bag under your arm and head off to the changing room without having to rummage around in your big bag!

The bag is made almost entirely of simple granny squares and is a real eye-catcher. You can make it completely to your taste: bright and colorful, solid-colored, in muted colors...As always, there are thousands of possibilities, and that makes your bag unique!


Click here and you’ll go straight to the pattern with lots more details!

The special feature here is the closure with the hair tie. It isn’t sewn on, but crocheted in! I’ll show you how it works in a great photo tutorial!

The eBook describes the path to your diaper bag in 23 pages with very detailed step-by-step instructions. Even as a beginner with a little experience, you’ll have success and tons of crochet fun here! :-) Give it a try!

Have fun crocheting!

With this cozy warm scarf collar, nothing can go wrong—for men or women—on cold days...
... and it’s trendy, too!
The wonderful relief pattern adds stability and a braided structure!

Once you’ve crocheted the pattern repeat, you’ll have the hang of it—
even beginners will enjoy this pattern!

A detailed step-by-step explanation guides you through the crochet pattern.
For clarification, the pattern includes 1 chart in crochet chart form.
In addition, a template with an integrated diagram helps you through the crochet process.

When rolled out, the scarf has a size of about 27 x 96 cm.
However, it can easily be made smaller or larger as needed.
The included template and the gauge help with that!

And here’s the pattern and more details...

Our four-legged friends also need a warm sweater during the cold season...
Really quick to knit up - suitable for beginners, too!

The pattern is also clearly illustrated with pictures.

The size is designed for a fully grown French Bulldog.
Of course, it also fits dogs of about the same size, as the merino quality adapts.

And here you can find the pattern and more details...

Wrist warmers are already a classic in themselves ;-)
So how about these?

The simple yet refined cable pattern is fun, and the result is simply delightful.
And if you like, you can get creative and jazz them up with rhinestones!

A detailed description guides you step by step through the knitting process.
In addition, a chart in knitting chart form helps you work through the pattern repeat.

Also a lovely project for beginners who want to expand their skills!

The length of the finished wrist warmers is about 20 cm.
Of course, as always, the gauge is included.

Perfect, too, when you want to shrink your leftover yarn stash!

And here’s the pattern and more details...
