This triangular shawl quickly draws attention with its beautiful lace pattern and waves. It is fun to knit (for advanced knitters).

The shawl can be buttoned at the front, so it can also be worn as a poncho, depending on your wishes and needs.

It is knitted from lightweight cotton, nice and airy, yet still keeps your shoulders and upper body warm on cool days.

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

This cute, colorful children’s jacket with a special striped pattern is extremely practical, especially during the transitional seasons. It’s comfortable, has pockets (very important for children), and a hood in case a cool wind does come up.

The jacket is knitted in one piece with raglan from the top down. Only one back side of the pockets is sewn on; otherwise there are no seams.

The pattern is written in a print-friendly format. It includes pages with and without photos. The described size fits sizes 92–104, so the jacket grows with the child.

The stripes on this poncho come naturally from the sock yarn. It’s very easy to knit, even for beginners with basic skills. I used 200 g of sock yarn with a cashmere blend for this poncho. It’s especially soft. I now simply wear it over a sweater between seasons when I get a bit chilly. I take the poncho with me everywhere because it’s very easy to fit into any bag.

Who doesn’t know Grandma’s polka-dot coffee set?
Here you can crochet the milk jug and the coffee cup as potholders. The potholders are worked double, so you can slip your hand in at the top. They are crocheted with single crochet stitches, and the bobble pattern for the dots is explained in detail in the pattern. For the material, I used Catania by Schachenmayr (yardage 125 m/50 g) and a 3.0 mm crochet hook.

Actually, these are stripes that are knitted into this shopping bag. But because slipped stitches are also used, a diamond-shaped pattern is created. It looks difficult, but in reality it is very easy. All you need are knitting needles and cotton yarn in two different colors.

You can find the pattern here.

Narrow stripes on one side, an elongated V on the other side—that’s how you could describe this scarf. It creates an exciting contrast, but I’d recommend it more for experienced knitters.
