Download bestsellers now.

@Authors,
here you can present 2–3 suitable patterns.
Don’t forget the link and image, as well as the usual information.

My top seller:

The all-rounder
“Hippo Heat Pad Cover”
Instead of heat pads, the belly can also be filled with little treasures, sweets, or scented sachets.
Alternatively, the cover can also be made as a lovey blanket.

The whole thing is a great weekend project and, thanks to the detailed pattern, ideal for beginners.

If you’d like to devote this weekend to Easter preparations, I have a perfect project for you: a gift bag especially for your beautiful hand-painted Easter eggs.



This bag is made from photo cardstock and measures approx. 17 x 15 x 15 cm. It’s easy to craft and lots of fun to give as a gift and to unpack.

The color gradient turns out differently with colorful sock yarn:
Knitting pattern for the ALL-SEASON BEANIE made from sock yarn




(To purchase/download, please click the image)

For this feather-light all-season beanie, which is made with knitting needles in various sizes (the brim with needle size 3.5, the main part with needle size 6.0, the decreases with 4.5 and 4.0) and with a crochet hook size 3.0–4.0 for the embellishment, 70 g of 6-ply sock yarn is enough, though 1 skein usually has 150 g. So with the leftover yarn you can easily knit a small loop scarf or even 1 pair of socks up to shoe size 36/37 :-)

By the way: you can find a sock knitting course for 6-ply sock yarn here:

A great weekend project is this little bag for 10 tissues. You can easily crochet a few of these and use up some leftover yarn at the same time.

The bags are also perfect for hiding Easter gifts. And, well, everyone needs tissues sometimes, so they’re extremely useful too. I’ve given away many of these, and they’ve always been a big hit.

The bag can be crocheted in any color combination, for example to match your clothes.
The pattern includes two different versions - a simple one and one with a relief pattern. There’s also a short workshop for the magic ring, and the heart appliqué is included as well, of course.

Beginners (with basic skills) will really get their money’s worth here. Everything is described very clearly and in detail, and of course all measurements are included.
