Knit a row or round here and there—ideally using a simple pattern without a complicated stitch pattern—and you’ll still end up with a lovely result.
Why not try making a pair of baby pants? It’s also a great way to use up leftover yarn.

Just on the side, knitting a few rounds now and then, and soon this
great design will be finished

 Pattern for a cozy loop scarf

A beautiful, wonderfully soft loop scarf, knitted with 50 g each of Silkhair
and Garzato Fleece on a size 5 circular needle.

Since it is knitted only with knit and purl stitches, you also don’t have to
count any pattern repeats; it almost makes itself.

This loop scarf is of course also great for beginners!

Do you need a few more little good-luck charms for New Year’s Eve? You can glue these crocheted appliqués onto place cards or invitations, use them as table decorations, or give them away as little good-luck charms. They’re simple and so quick to make that you can even crochet them in your spare time. All you need is a basic knowledge of crocheting, a crochet hook, and some leftover yarn.
The pattern for all 6 good-luck charms is available here!

Reindeer Keychain Jonny
Click here to go directly to the crochet pattern

Jonny, the cute little reindeer, is waiting to be crocheted by you! Especially now during Advent and the Christmas season, we’re often looking for small gifts, and Jonny is perfect for that. Whether as a keychain, Christmas tree ornament, or bag charm, he always cuts a fine figure and puts a smile on everyone’s face ;-) .What you need:
  • approx. 10g yarn in brown/beige, suitable for a 1.5 crochet hook (e.g., “Manuela” by Schoeller & Stahl). Leftovers in red and dark brown for the nose and antlers, also suitable for a 1.5 hook.
  • Darning needle and scissors
  • 1.5mm crochet hook
  • Stitch marker
  • Stuffing
  • Googly eyes and/or black leftover yarn for embroidering the face
  • Key ring or thread for hanging.
Difficulty level Easy; however, because of the small crochet hook, you should already have worked on larger objects and therefore be confident crocheting single crochet stitches in spiral rounds. You should also be able to make a magic ring, increase and decrease stitches, and sew on individual pieces.Scope 13 pages of crochet pattern, illustrated with lots of pictures. I won’t leave you on your own when sewing on the individual pieces either ;-)

Perfect for a coffee break: a knitted bracelet that's finished in no time. You'll have to be careful that there isn't still coffee left by the time the bracelet is done! It's also a wonderful way to use up leftover yarn.

You can find the pattern here.

This scarf is also perfect for a coffee break, because you can set it aside at any time when the break is over without worrying that you won’t be able to pick up the pattern later. Plus, it looks really stylish.

Here is the pattern.

Wonderful for coffee breaks:

Crochet pattern Möbius Collar 1-2-3-4




(Please click the image to purchase/download)

This scarf-collar wonderfully jazzes up sweaters and shirts.

It is crocheted from approx. 60 g of a merino yarn with a yardage of 50 g – 160 m and hook size 3 – 4 (here with a 3.5 mm crochet hook) and can be finished quickly in one afternoon. Beginners should allow themselves a little more crochet time.
Other yarns with a suitable hook size can also be used. In my opinion, however, the pattern shows up better in finer yarns.

The Möbius technique in crochet is considerably easier than in knitting.

For the illustrated PDF pattern basic crochet skills are sufficient (chain stitches, single crochet, half double crochet, slip stitch). Link tips for learning to crochet are included.

The pattern is very easy to crochet—making it absolutely perfect for beginners.

If you make these during your coffee break, all the women present are guaranteed to want something like them too. The wonderfully soft wrist warmers have so much charm and are so soft that everyone always wants them—I know that from my own experience. And the best part is, you can tell the ladies that they can knit them themselves using the free pattern . The yarn is so lightweight that you can easily carry your knitting around with you, and even knit a few more rounds on the train to work. An ideal little knitting project—not just for your coffee break—with a great result!

I hope you have lots of fun knitting and wearing your new Pulswärmer Deluxe. Yours, Ina.

During a coffee break, you don’t want to make anything complicated—just do a little something with yarn. For that, I can recommend my felt insoles . You’ll need them in winter for the whole family: for winter boots, rubber boots, clogs, etc. All you need is a few scraps of felting wool, a size 8 knitting needle, and a washing machine. You knit, and the washing machine takes care of the felting. The finished felt insoles are wonderfully thick and soft, breathable, and warm. Everyone can always use them.

I hope you enjoy this little practical project—Ina

The two lanterns "Lichterzauber" and "Lichterschein" are quick to crochet, because you only need leftover yarn and an empty yogurt jar. The pattern is easy to follow, as it also includes lots of pictures and detailed explanations. This makes the project suitable for ambitious beginners, too. 

The crocheted jars also make a wonderful little gift or a lovely decorating idea for your living room, conservatory, corridors, and hallways at home. With an electric tealight inside, you can safely leave them standing around, and they glow in the colors of the yarn.

Here you can find the pattern and more info:
