The RVO (Raglan from the Top) technique is explained thoroughly. The pattern includes both crochet charts and a written description of the rows.

I used the color Kiwi Drizzle; for my size 36/38 jacket, I used two Whirls, working with double strands to make the jacket nice and cozy. Of course, you can also use the regular Whirls or a yarn in your preferred weight. For sizes 40 and up, you’ll need 4 Whirls
• possibly matching buttons (I used snaps)
• scissors
• a similar jacket or top to help you adjust the size if needed

To crochet this jacket, you’ll need to know how to work the following stitches:

• single crochet (sc)

For the pros among you, I have a hat here that definitely requires quite a bit of concentration. It is knitted with sock yarn and has a diamond-shaped lace pattern that tapers toward the top.
The pattern comes in two sizes, and a knitting chart for the lace pattern is also included.

And for true experts who aren’t afraid of a challenge: This baby hat isn’t just knitted in two colors (2 colors per round), but you also have to keep track of the cables. But the result is something to be proud of!

This waffle-patterned cardigan with pockets requires some knitting experience. It’s knitted with raglan sleeves starting from the bottom. Thanks to the knitting pattern, it fits snugly but is also quite stretchy. This means it fits sizes 38–42.

The pattern is written to be printer-friendly. The photos have been compiled on separate pages so they don’t need to be printed.

This poncho with a lace pattern and waves can also be worn as a triangular shawl. You should already have a bit of knitting experience.

The arrangement of the pattern gives this poncho shawl an additional special 3D effect, which is further enhanced by the pink waves. The lace pattern and the lightweight cotton create an airy feel when worn, while at the same time this poncho shawl feels wonderfully warm on cool summer evenings.

Since knitting takes a while, now is exactly the right time to begin.



Here is the knitting pattern for the poncho—the triangular shawl with lace pattern and waves.

A very lovely challenge is this colorful children’s cardigan. It is knitted top-down with raglan shaping and has a hood and pockets. There are only two seams here, one side on each pocket.

The cardigan fits from about size 92 to 104, so it will grow with the child for a while.

All steps and techniques are explained in the pattern, mostly with pictures. However, you should definitely have some knitting practice!

Note: The pattern is written in a print-friendly way. It contains some pages with photos only and other pages with text only.
