This cute children's sweater with a collar is knitted from lightweight cotton and is just right for the little ones on cool days. It fits sizes 92 to 104 and, thanks to its length, will grow with them for a while.

The pattern is written in detail with all steps and photos. Advanced beginners with knitting experience can use it to recreate the sweater easily.

There are almost no seams, only at the top of the shoulder.

Here’s the knitting pattern for the children's sweater made from thin cotton.

This cute little cotton strappy dress is adjustable and therefore fits sizes 74 through 98. The heart pattern is easy to knit using the chart. And the dress can be worn all year round.

Beginners with basic knowledge and some knitting experience will find the very well-explained pattern easy to follow.

Clothing isn’t the only thing that’s comfortable in summer when made from cotton yarn.
How about a small summer bag for your vacation?


Even while crocheting, you’ll be in the mood for sun, sand, and sea, and the bag has room for the essentials.

Crochet pattern for the “Anchor” bag


It is crocheted using knit stitch in tapestry technique. The knit stitch is explained in the pattern and isn’t difficult at all.
The bag is made entirely from cotton yarn.

A beautiful back can be enchanting...
With this cheeky top in cool cotton, you definitely won't go unnoticed!
The sophisticated decorative trim with the buttons as a connection makes every back stand out beautifully!

The basic pattern is simple yet sophisticated, and the cut is made entirely without decreases or increases...
... so it is also absolutely recommended for beginners!

A detailed description guides you through the crochet process.
For clarity, 2 charts in crochet chart format can be found in the pattern.
In addition, a schematic helps you step by step through the crochet process.

This pattern is designed for sizes S/M/L/XL.
However, the pattern explains how the top can be easily adjusted to any size. The included cut and the gauge help with that!

And here is the pattern and more details...
