Little Sheep Egg Cozy Crochet Pattern
Click here to go directly to the crochet pattern

What you’ll need:

• Approx. 15g of yarn (it’s best to use 100% cotton craft yarn, as this makes the egg cozies nice and sturdy. Of course, you can also use any other yarn) in white or brown, suitable for a 3mm crochet hook. Leftover yarn in green.
• A darning needle and scissors
• Some stuffing for the head
• 3mm crochet hook.
• Googly eyes and superglue

To give the sheep a fluffier fleece look, I crochet with “bobbles.” I explain these at the beginning of the pattern and illustrate everything with pictures. That way, you’ll understand the technique very quickly ;-). All the remaining steps are also shown and explained with plenty of pictures. Difficulty level: medium—you should already have some crochet experience ;-) and shouldn’t choose the sheep as your very first crochet project. The sheep egg cozies are a super cute eye-catcher on any breakfast table! Also perfect as a gift ;-) !!!

No. 2

• Scraps of purple or yellow/gold yarn, suitable for a 2mm hook (for the horn)

16-page crochet pattern with lots of pictures

Little Sheep Egg Cup Crochet Pattern


Click here to go directly to the crochet pattern Crochet these cute little sheep egg cups!! They’ll brighten up any breakfast table and make you laugh first thing in the morning with their expression. The little sheep are truly a fun eye-catcher and also make great gifts! I crochet the “fleece look” using bobbles. I explain exactly how to do this at the beginning of the pattern with pictures. I also use plenty of pictures throughout the rest of the pattern to better illustrate each step. This makes the crochet pattern quick and easy to understand! You should be confident working with single crochet stitches: increasing and decreasing stitches, as well as making a magic ring. 16 illustrated pages of crochet

pattern. Difficulty level: medium, but easy to understand and quick to follow thanks to the many pictures. What you’ll need

• A 3mm crochet hook. Approx. 15–20g of craft yarn/wool in the color of your choice (white, cream, beige, brown, black... after all, sheep come in all sorts of colors ;-) ). This yarn should be suitable for a 3mm crochet hook. I crocheted the sheep using 100% cotton yarn, which makes them nice and sturdy.
• Some stuffing for the head and feet
• A darning needle and scissors
• Googly eyes and superglue

For me, everything has stayed the same:

In 1st place are the 10 small folding boxes, which are easy to craft and wonderfully suitable for crafting beginners. With the pattern, you'll get 10 templates for boxes with various edge lengths between 3 and 8 cm.



In 2nd place is this Advent calendar – anyone who starts crafting in summer saves themselves the Christmas stress :-)! The Advent calendar is approx. 28 x 4.5 x 32 cm, very easy to craft, and also well suited for crafting beginners.



In 3rd place is the backpack-shaped gift packaging - lovely and practical packaging for first-day-of-school gifts and an original alternative to the school cone. The backpack is approx. 16.5 x 22.5 x 9 cm and is also easy for beginners with a little crafting experience to make.



All featured models are made from photo cardstock.

Here are my top 3:
1. The table runner in Bruges lace crochet technique, size: 110 cm x 28cm.
Here you can find the table runner pattern


*********************************************
2.  Tablecloth “Christmas Mood” crochet pattern. A tablecloth with a diameter of approx. 48 cm in a beautiful dark green color with a bit of silvery sparkle. Very suitable for the Christmas season; it can be used not only as a tablecloth, but also works very well as a mat for the Christmas tree stand.
Here you can find the tablecloth pattern

******************************************************
3.  The elegant tablecloth brings a wonderfully cozy atmosphere into your home. It is quick to finish crocheting, has an easy difficulty level, and measures approx. 40 cm in diameter.

 1. Colorful Bunnies
are always fun, not just at Easter! First while you’re crocheting them, and a second time when you’ve finished them and given them as a gift. They’re also a wonderful way to use up small amounts of leftover yarn.
 2. Cuddly Kitten
Everyone wants to cuddle the black-and-white kitten. Crochet it from fluffy yarn or any other yarn—it’s sure to turn out cute! 
 3. Little Lamb
The little lamb is also preferably crocheted from fluffy yarn. You can also insert a music box, making it a sleep aid and cuddly toy all in one.

My perennial favorite is the scarf/shawl knitted in a hexagon pattern.
Not hard at all; the pattern is created with slipped stitches, and it’s also great for using up leftover skeins. Of course, you can also use a gradient yarn for the fill color.

So grab it—the next fall is sure to come.

Best wishes and have fun knitting,
Caro

Hexagon Scarf

First place goes to my triangular shawl in a square

This beautiful triangular shawl has sold over 1500 times so far. It is airy and light, yet elegant and wonderfully soft for snuggling up and feeling good. It is easy to crochet - making it absolutely suitable for beginners.

Here is the pattern





Second place is snapped up by my casual and trendy shoulder bag in natural shades

In the photos you can see the embroidered front and the non-embroidered
back. Of course, you can embroider both sides or leave the
bag “plain” - just as you like.

Here is the pattern




and third place belongs to these sweet angels

The cute angels are heavenly quick and really easy to
crochet - so they’re great even for “last-minute” makes. Perfect for
using up leftover yarn.

These pretty pendants are used not only at Christmas time
(e.g. as tree decorations, gift tags, decorations for the Advent wreath, or
table decorations), but also throughout the year as little guardian angels, lucky charms,
keychains, for the car, etc.

Here is the pattern

AND THE WINNERS ARE...

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

A simply made girls’ cardigan—but the border really gives it a special touch!
This vest has no button band at all and is therefore worn open.
A detailed description guides you through the knitting process.
The border is explained step by step.
This pattern is designed for size 116-122.
However, the included cut and gauge make it easy to make any size!

With this wonderfully warm shawl collar, nothing can happen to men or women on cold days...

Top 1:
The very popular “Rustico” basket. It is variable in size, which means you can make it as large as you like. For materials, you can use leftover yarn from your favorite yarns from past craft projects, because the basket is worked with multiple strands. Thanks to an incorporated plastic clothesline that runs along in a spiral, it is stable and keeps its shape. It is very easy to crochet, because you only need to crochet single crochet stitches all the way around. Anyone can do it. That’s why this pattern is also very well suited for beginners.


Top 2:
Felt boots with a rolled cuff - are probably more suited for fall and winter. But they are also always welcome gifts for family and friends. Because no one else has such beautiful, warm little felt boots.



And Top 3:
The spring and summer version of them: the felt moccasins.Quick to make and felted in the washing machine. Just a few grams of felting wool turn into very special favorite slippers that no one else has. Why not try bright yellow?



I hope you enjoy all your projects. Yours, Ina
