A soul warmer like this is ideal for spring!
In this mustard yellow, it’s simply unbeatable!

This zigzag pattern is simply fun and looks fantastic on top of that.
The edging is worked with a relief pattern, which is simple—yet very effective.

The cut of the soul warmer works entirely without decreases or increases...
... making it absolutely recommended for beginners, too!

A detailed description guides you through the crochet process.
To make things clearer, the pattern includes 3 crochet charts.
In addition, 3 schematics 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 pattern piece and the gauge help with that!

And here’s where you can find the pattern and more details...

Neck warmers are a great alternative to cowls and scarves for keeping warm in winter...
... you can never have enough of them.

Here, 2 techniques come together—and they harmonize beautifully:
Tartan + Tapestry

Who says the tartan technique only looks good in knitwear? Far from it!
Crocheted pieces can be wonderfully spruced up too!

The construction looks sophisticated, but is so easy to work that even beginners will enjoy it!

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

The tartan technique is also described in detail and illustrated (16 pictures).
The tapestry technique is also explained separately.

When laid out flat, the scarf has a size of about 34 x 105 cm.
However, it can be made smaller or larger as needed without much effort.
The included template and the gauge will help with that!

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

"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future. Concentrate on the present moment." - QUOTE Buddha
And in that spirit—enjoy time with your loved ones around a beautifully decorated table!

A detailed description guides you through the crochet process.
To make things clear, the pattern includes 3 charts of the motifs, 1 crochet chart, as well as
a illustrated step-by-step explanation for changing colors.

The finished table runner measures approximately 158 x 45 cm. However, the specified gauge and the crochet area between the motifs allow room for custom lengths.

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

Every hat is a hit:

Crochet Hat for Everyone - very easy




(To purchase/download, please click the image)

A wonderfully easy-to-crochet hat for different styles, meaning ONE hat model wearable in all the variations shown, for both men and women. Also easy to make for children or as a simple hat for babies (though thinner yarn is recommended).


  • no gauge swatch (the exact cm doesn’t matter),
  • no increases or decreases,
  • for any yarn you like
  • possible in all sizes.

The PDF pattern includes photos.

You need these crochet skills: chain stitches, single crochet.
Everything else and slip stitches are explained. Video link tips for learning to crochet for beginners are included in the PDF.

Material: for the model shown, head circumference 55 cm to 60 cm: approx. 250 g merino yarn, 50 g – 45 m, 6.0 crochet hook; measuring tape, scissors, yarn needle for weaving in ends.
The rib pattern requires approx. 50 g more yarn than is normally usual for hats. The crochet hook size should match the yarn used.

An Excel calculation aid:

Gauge conversion table - Crochet and Knitting - Calculation aid




(To purchase/download, please click the image)

This Excel spreadsheet is a tool for converting your personal gauge into the required number of stitches for your knitting/crochet project.

Important technical note:
This requires the Excel spreadsheet program or another spreadsheet program that can be downloaded for free from the internet, such as LibreOffice. Open the file with a double-click and click "Enable Editing".


And here's how it works:
Enter the result of your personal gauge in the table, as well as the details for the
specific pattern, and the required number of stitches will appear automatically.

Have fun with all your projects.

This popular cotton pinafore skirt for toddlers is a true quick-change artist. It grows with your child from ages 1.5 to 5. The skirt has no seams and is knitted in one piece from the bottom up. The straps can be unbuttoned.

My tip: Simply knit this skirt several times in different colors. That way, variety is guaranteed. By the way, it works well in every season, because you can wear either a shirt or a sweater underneath it.



Here’s the knitting pattern for the grow-with-me toddler pinafore skirt.

At last, the pussy willow flower child is coming out of its winter quarters again! Since it’s still quite cold, it’s wearing a little brown dress with silver-gray fur trim and a silver-gray fur hat. 

The flower child can be crocheted from just a few bits of leftover yarn. You can either crochet the pussy willows on the branch from fluffy yarn or shape them from silver-gray plush or velour fabric. Together with a few real pussy willow branches, it makes a wonderful spring decoration!

Feeling inspired? Then get the pattern here!

If your feet are warm, you won't catch a cold as easily. And everyone would love to have these stylish, colorful booties with roll-down cuffs. They keep you warm, are soft, don't pinch, and are comfortable to wear. You can make them for the whole family using my pattern. We knit them, and the washing machine takes care of the felting.

Click here and you'll go directly to the pattern!

I hope you have lots of fun and always warm feet - Yours, Ina

PS. And if you're clever, you can sew leather soles onto the felted shoes. Then they'll last four times as long.
You can find the pattern for how to make the sole, and the matching template, here:
DIY leather soles.

If you’re already thinking about spring, you might prefer the more delicate felt moccasins instead of the felt boots with turn-down cuffs. These are also wonderfully soft and warm and don’t pinch. The thick felt acts like sound insulation underfoot. You can make these felt moccasins in all your favorite colors for your family and friends. Especially now, as winter draws to a close, felt wool is on special sale everywhere. That makes making these slippers yourself doubly worthwhile.

Warm regards from Ina

P.S. Of course, you can also do the DIY leather sole and sew it on underneath so they’ll last longer.

This shawl is pure romance! The delicate lace pattern, which alternates with a garter stitch section, is easy to follow and
is worked only on the right side. On the wrong side rows, all
stitches are purled. At the end, the shawl is cast off with a picot edge,
which gives the shawl an even more delicate, romantic touch.
You can let your imagination run wild with this yarn. Either knit the shawl as shown or in a
solid color. Alternatively,
you can work the garter stitch sections in multiple colors or add accents to the lace pattern.
The pattern includes a professional knitting chart for the lace pattern
as well as written instructions.

A hit: dish sponges made with bubble yarn
The sponge is crocheted with the fun yarn from Rico Design.
Whether as a bath sponge or a kitchen sponge, say goodbye to boredom in the bathroom or kitchen. https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/32732/spuelschwamm-oder-duschschwamm-eule-gehaekelt-von-dadade



and perfect for spring
the pattern for the complete decoration,
including the blue tits, the nest with the sweet little chicks, as well as the almond blossoms and leaves! The birds are about 9 cm tall and were crocheted with a 2.5 mm hook. I chose a real branch and decorated it with the crocheted accessories; since my cherry branches already have buds, I put them in water and will soon have double blossoms on the branches. Whether as table decoration, in a vase, or as window decoration, there are no limits to your creativity; the number of almond blossoms, leaves, and birds is flexible.
