This versatile strappy dress fits babies from about 4 months and can still be worn by toddlers up to 3 years old. Little hearts are knitted into the stripes, and you can also sew on crocheted hearts.

The advantages of this convertible dress:

• The dress has no seams! It’s knitted in one piece from the bottom up. The straps are knitted separately and can be adjusted to any length you like.
• The knitting pattern for this strappy dress is suitable for beginners. However, you should have the basic knitting and crocheting skills mentioned here.

Detailed description as a PDF file with a crochet chart and step-by-step photos.

The hot-air balloon that carries the little mouse up into the sky has wavy stripes.

The balloon has a diameter of 15 cm. This makes the mouse a beautiful window decoration for a child's room. It's a varied project that you're sure to enjoy!

To crochet it yourself, you'll need 50 g of cotton in each color (here: mint, natural, and gray), with a yardage of 125 m. I crocheted the mouse with Estivo II (Lana Grossa) to make it fluffier. But the gray cotton yarn is enough for that as well.
Well, are you interested? Then download the pattern right here!

Many of you might still remember Grandma’s blue milk jug with the white polka dots.

Here it is crocheted as a pot holder, a nostalgic and useful decoration for your kitchen. The pot holder is crocheted in double layers so you can slip your hand inside. The pattern is quite simple, making it suitable even for beginners who’ve already done a little crocheting.
You’ll need about

• 60 g of blue cotton yarn (Catania, LL = 125 m / 50 g)
• 30 g white cotton
• 3.0 mm crochet hook
• 1 yarn needle for weaving in ends and sewing the pieces together

You can find the pattern here!

A triangular shawl with stripes; the dots are knitted-in beads,
there are also several other patterns to see, 

                          to the pattern Triangular Shawl with Beads

      Pattern  

The pattern is described in detail and explained with pictures!

You need 50 g each of wool or cotton in 5 colors and fuse beads
in matching colors, as well as a size 3.5 or 4 circular knitting needle

A plaid hat looks great, and you can even knit one yourself.

Take a look.



Not necessarily suitable for beginners, but when it comes to jacquard patterns, this is one of the easier ones. A knitting chart helps you work it up.
The pattern is available in four different sizes.

Even a single stripe can be very striking when it really catches the eye. That’s the case with this lace shawl. The stripe also stands out because of the pattern, which is different from the rest of the shawl.
For this, you’ll need sock-weight yarn in two different colors, with the amount depending on your desired shawl size. The two different lace patterns are explained in writing and also clearly shown in several knitting charts.

You can find the pattern here.

This bracelet is called "The Waves of the Sea and of Love". I thought that was so poetic :-)
In any case, it's knitted from leftover cotton and looks much more complicated than it is.

Here you can find the pattern.
