Here I’d like to introduce you to my top 3, all patterns are for crochet and are beginner-friendly, written without abbreviations.

TOP 1
Cash gift as Christmas decoration
Even Santa Claus sometimes has a big laundry day, so wrapping the package falls by the wayside and instead there’s money or gift certificates. Once the gift sack is empty, everything can still be used as fun decoration.
Even beginners can try this original gift wrapping, and leftover yarn is enough to make it.

Details & Pattern

TOP 2
Theodor the soccer star

A timeless door wreath that will especially delight soccer fans.
Theodor supports your club too—just crochet him in the colors of your favorite team.
The World Cup is coming soon; how about a decoration in the national colors?

Details & Pattern

TOP 3
Ivy

This evergreen looks deceptively real, and all you need is a few leftover yarn scraps and the right crochet hook, and you’re ready to get started.
Whether as a vine or individual leaves, it makes a lovely table decoration for many occasions. It’s also a great little hostess gift or gift tag.

Well, you always need socks. This pattern describes a special heel that’s very easy to knit—no calculations or anything like that. The heel fits just like it does on all other socks. Give it a try. 

         Knitting Socks Without a Fiddly Heel (Size 38/39)

Yarn requirements: 100g of sock yarn, which comes in beautiful color gradients and shades.
A set of 3.0 mm double-pointed needles, and you’re ready to go.

This warm hat is knitted on two needles. With size 4.5 needles, you’ll make quick progress.
Hats are still very popular right now. The pattern also includes the gloves, both for babies approx. 0–3 months.


       Warm, cozy baby hat with gloves 


You’ll need two 4.5 mm needles and yarn in your favorite color. Definitely a lovely gift for your first baby visit.

Beautiful, warm, and cozy baby pants. 

       You’ll need the following materials:
100 g of sock yarn, as shown in the picture; it’s soft and washes well on the wool cycle, plus about 30 g of leftover yarn in a contrasting color and two size 3 needles. The pants are knitted from the bottom up on two needles and in two pieces. They’re easy to knit.
By folding over the cuff at the leg, you can adjust the pants to be larger or a little smaller.
Knitting these baby pants is a lot of fun, and the joy over the hand-knitted pants will be great.

First place goes to my triangular shawl in a square

This beautiful triangular shawl has sold nearly 1,000 times so far. It is airy and light, yet elegant and wonderfully soft for snuggling up and feeling cozy. It is easy to crochet—so it’s absolutely suitable for beginners.

Here’s the pattern




and second place belongs to these cute angels

The adorable angels are heavenly quick and really easy to crochet,
so they’re still great to make “last minute.” Perfect for
using up leftover yarn.

These pretty ornaments are not only used at Christmas time (e.g., as tree decorations, gift tags, decor for the Advent wreath, or table decorations), but also throughout the year as little guardian angels, lucky charms, keychains, for the car, etc.


Here’s the pattern





Third place goes to my

casual and trendy shoulder bag in natural tones


In the photos, you can see the embroidered front side and the non-embroidered
back side. Of course, you can embroider both sides or leave the
bag “plain”—whatever you like best.


Here’s the pattern

My bestseller is still this shawl, which is knitted from exactly one skein of sock yarn. A simple and relaxing pattern that you can easily knit on the side, too.

You can find the pattern for it here.





As number 2, I have this summer scarf on offer. I know, it’s not summer, but hopefully it will come back. Also easy to knit, and the thick cotton yarn guarantees a quick sense of achievement, too.

You can find the pattern here




And then we come to number 3: a knitted stole with a charming lace pattern.

You can find it here.

For some reason, I haven’t quite got the hang of the formatting yet… it looked completely different before I clicked “Add”… too bad.

My 3 most popular patterns in the shop:
3. Crocheted Shells
You can crochet three different seashells using this pattern. You can use almost any type of yarn and only need very small amounts. Depending on the type and color of yarn, the seashells look quite different.

2. Sleeping Lamb
This little lamb made of fluffy yarn is fun—and not just at Easter. It’s a cuddly bedtime companion that can even play a little lullaby—because if you use thick yarn, the lamb is big enough to hold a music box inside its belly.

1. Cuddly Kitten 

A little livelier, but just as cuddly as the little sheep, is this little black-and-white cat. It’s also best crocheted from fluffy yarn. You’ll find some tips for this in the pattern.

Gorgeous jacket / vest made with gradient yarn. You can crochet this beautiful jacket with the help of this pattern. The making process is explained in detail over 13 pages; pictures help you work through it. The principle of RVO (top-down raglan) is explained in detail. The pattern includes crochet charts as well as a written description of the rows. Tables help you create your project, from toddler size to a women's jacket. You can crochet this jacket in several versions...with or without sleeves, with a straight cut, or even as a pullover....The shown jacket in size 36/38 is described in detail row by row.To crochet the jacket, you need:
  • a 3.0 mm crochet hook (if you are crocheting with a different yarn quality, use one that matches the yarn)
  • 2 twisted Scheepjes Wooly Whirls, 215 g = 1000 m (100 g = 455 m) for size S/M (if you would like to crochet the jacket in another size, use 4 Whirls accordingly) I used the color Kiwi Drizzle; for my jacket in size 36/38 I needed two Whirls, and the yarn was held double so the jacket would be nice and cozy. Of course, you can also use the regular Whirls or a yarn in your preferred quality. From size 40 up you need 4 Whirls
  • possibly matching buttons (I used snaps)
  • scissors
  • a matching jacket or top to adjust the size if needed
To crochet the jacket, you need to know the following stitch variations:
  • single crochet (sc)
  • crab stitch
  • double crochet (dc)
  • half double crochet (hdc)

Here are my top 3:
My #1 is 10 Small Folding Boxes, which are super easy to make and wonderfully suited for crafting beginners. With the pattern, you get 10 templates for boxes with different edge lengths between 3 and 8 cm.



My #2 is this Advent Calendar – best to download it right away and plan it as your first Christmas craft! The Advent calendar is approx. 28 x 4.5 x 32 cm, very easy to make, and also well suited for crafting beginners.



My #3 is the backpack-shaped gift packaging. If you want to give a gift to a child starting school this summer, this packaging is just right for it. The backpack is approx. 16.5 x 22.5 x 9 cm and is easy to recreate, even for beginners with a little crafting experience.



All the models presented are made from photo cardstock.

I’m happy to briefly introduce the three most frequently purchased patterns from my shop here:

1. The budgies

They are quick and easy to make, and even beginners can crochet them well! They have also already sparked a great passion for amigurumi in quite a few happy crocheters!



2. The cockatiels

A bit larger than their relatives, these funny little fellows are already fluttering through many apartments and houses too!
Just like the budgies, the cockatiels are quick to make and perfectly manageable even for beginners!




3. The little summer hat

This very cute little summer hat is a great project for anyone who would like to try something different from the “normal hat.”
Nevertheless, the little hat is easy for beginners to make too!




All my patterns include lots of detailed pictures and step-by-step instructions!
