This is one of my calculation tools:

Gauge conversion table - Crochet and knitting - Excel calculation tool



(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 desired knitting/crochet project.

Important technical note:
For this, you need the Excel spreadsheet program or another spreadsheet program that can be downloaded for free from the internet, such as LibreOffice.

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

Good luck!

• It is crocheted with cotton yarn, yardage 125 m / 50 g; in this case I used Catania by Schachenmayer in the colors natural (No. 105, 2 x 50 g), mint (No. 385, 2 x 50 g), and silver (No. 172, 1 x 50 g).
• Crochet hook size 2.5

The gift bag is made of photo cardstock, measures approximately 22 x 20 x 13 cm, and is quick and easy to make—even for beginners. Just be sure to follow the pattern carefully when making the bunnies, and everything will turn out perfectly the first time, with no trouble at all.

Knit socks the easy way! This Toe Up Quicky Sock 1.0 is knitted from the bottom (toe) up to the top (cuff). First I show the
basic technique for the Quicky Sock and then 2 different
cuff patterns. Using the size chart, you can knit different sizes
.
Many people still remember it from school. The heel in particular made quite a few people
break into a sweat. Thanks to my simple Quicky Heel, you can
do it without short rows and lots of counting, always working in rounds.
The socks are knitted upward from the toe. The heel shape I
developed is created with a few very simple increases and
decreases.
I also knitted the sock toe differently from the usual toes
. My sock toe adapts to the toes. You can also
start with a different toe. The written pattern shows you
how it works on 11 pages (with text explanation, photo tutorial,
knitting chart, size chart). You’ll find the help videos right next to
your purchased file.
Material:100 g sock yarn, 4-ply (the purple sock is made from McLana, Bobbel, 400 m/100 g, by Garn Manufaktur; the colorful yarn is by Opal, 425 m/100 g), a set of double-pointed needles (I used size 2.5 mm).
Needle and scissors. But it’s also available as a top-down sock. Take a look in the shop!

A perfect match — that’s exactly right for my crochet pattern for this ball



Crocheted from individual granny squares and then joined together. An opening is left for the balloon.

This ball is also suitable even for very small children. Inflated with just a little air, it is easy to grasp; if it rolls away, you can quickly crawl after it.

For older children, it is great for playing indoors, because it is soft. Or in the garden too — after all, you can wash it without any problems.

This pattern is 16 pages long, and lots of pictures make it easier to understand. The pattern includes both written instructions and a crochet chart for the granny square that I drew myself.

Start now, and it will definitely be finished by Easter...... Click here for the pattern

A granny square for a beautiful blanket or pillow?



This is one of 6 granny squares. A flower in the center. Whether in one color or multicolored, it’s a wonderful granny square.

This pattern includes 9 pages, and each row is explained precisely and clearly in writing and with pictures.
There is also a crochet chart as a supplement.

Here you can find the pattern for Granny Number5

And here’s another look at the collection for my pattern-mix blanket of all the granny squares. The granny squares are all the same size, so you can join them together beautifully.

A real hit, especially for all moms-to-be and new moms, is this beautiful wrap blanket for the infant car seat!

With my crochet pattern, you can very easily crochet it yourself. I’ll guide you through this project step by step and picture by picture.

The blanket is a cuddly-soft and super practical companion for everyday baby life. The baby doesn’t always have to be bundled up in a thick snowsuit (and then unbundled again (!))—just put on a hat and wrap them in the blanket in their
indoor clothes, and off you go!
Thanks to the built-in drawstring (crocheted too, of course! :-)), the corner quickly turns into a warm hood!

You’ll love the blanket—and your baby will too!
