#1 Knitting pattern for a girls’ vest / girls’ jacket | Baby AlpenChic traditional *jacket*

A simply made girls’ cardigan—but the trim really jazzes it up!
This vest comes entirely without a button band and is therefore worn open.
A detailed description guides you through the knitting process.
The trim is explained step by step.
This pattern is designed for size 116–122.
However, the included template and gauge make it easy to make any size!

... and it’s trendy on top of that!
The great raised stitch pattern adds stability and a woven texture.

The unrolled scarf has a size of about 27 x 96 cm.
However, it can be made smaller or larger as needed without much effort.
The included template and the gauge help with that!





#3 Knitting pattern for a loop / cowl | Snood *WEBBED*

Beautiful colors simple pattern great cut = a snood you have to have!
This loop scarf in a tartan look appears sophisticated, yet is so easy to make,
so it is also suitable for beginners !*

You’ll also find a chart of the color scheme as well as a detailed description in the pattern.
In addition, detailed photo documentation helps you through the knitting process.

1. Colorful Bunnies
These colorful bunnies are incredibly popular because you can give them as gifts even after Easter. They’re very simple to make, yet extremely decorative. An ideal, easy project for beginners and for using up leftover yarn.

2. Cuddly Kitten
You can crochet the cuddly kitten with fluffy yarn if you want it to be extra plush. You can’t even tell it was crocheted. But for some, that’s actually a challenge, because when crocheting, you can no longer see the stitches. The pattern includes tips on how to work with this yarn without too much trouble. If you don’t want to try fluffy yarn at all, simply use acrylic yarn (e.g., “bravo” by Schachenmayr). The cat on the left in the picture was crocheted with that yarn.

3. Sleeping Lamb
This little lamb is also best crocheted using fluffy yarn. Depending on the thickness of the yarn, it can measure between 12 cm and 25 cm. If you choose the thicker yarn, you can insert a music box into its belly so that it plays a lullaby to help your little one fall asleep at night. 

Still unchanged, my TOP 3

TOP 1
Money gift as Christmas decoration
An original gift wrap for money or gift cards; after it’s emptied, everything still makes a fun decoration.

My No. 1: the Rustico Basket - the basket with that special inner structure that makes it stable and rustic. It has already been made almost 3,000 times by enthusiastic crocheters. Feel free to read the 237 reviews.  



My No. 2: the Felted Boots with Roll-Down Cuffs in all sizes - something you can always use. Cold feet don’t stand a chance anymore! And they are so, so soft to step into and cuddly warm—you won’t want to take them off.


My No. 3: And another spring version of felted shoes: Felted Moccasins
They’re also great to take along on vacation. You’ll have your own soft slippers with you and feel at home anywhere. They’re ideal as guest slippers too, because you can simply air them out outside. They don’t absorb odors. Some guests, however, may want to take theirs home ... then you’ll probably have to make new ones.

I hope you enjoy browsing through meinen Shop and making my bestsellers.

Warm regards from Ina
