These pants are just right for your baby right now. They fit from size 62 up to age 2, since the straps are adjustable. The pattern is designed so that the pants fit well in every size.

This poncho is knitted entirely from 200 g of sock yarn. It’s best to get started right away—that way, you’ll have just the thing to keep your upper body cozy and warm come fall. I also wear the poncho on cool summer evenings on the patio.

Suitable for experienced beginners; the pattern describes every step with pictures.

Click here for the knitting pattern for the girls’ sweater with a collar



This children’s sweater made of lightweight cotton is especially well-suited for little girls. It has a collar and can initially be worn as a long sweater. This makes it a good fit for sizes 92 to 104.

It’s just the right sweater for everyday wear. Your child won’t sweat in it, and it feels comfortable against the skin. The pretty pattern is very easy to knit.

Suitable for beginners with basic knowledge and some knitting experience.

It’s described in detail in the pattern, so even beginners can manage it. Basic knitting skills are required.

The set is knitted without seams. The only seam is created at the shoulder of the jacket at the very end.

Note: The pants or the jacket—each with a hat—are also available as individual patterns in my shop.

Click here for the knitting pattern for the strappy dress with hearts



This cute little strappy dress with knitted-in hearts has a special feature: it grows with the child, from size 74 to 98. Little by little, it transforms into a skirt.

The pattern is written so that even advanced beginners with basic skills can make this strappy dress.

Click here for the knitting pattern for the cowl / shoulder warmer



A highlight in my shop is this cowl / shoulder warmer, which you can easily knit from a single ball of fine cotton yarn. Even beginners with basic skills can do it.

It’s best to get started right away and make a few cowls in different colors for the fall. A great garden project.

You can always use cute little animals—as keychains, gifts, mobiles, or other decorations. Which little animals do you like best:
 Bunnies? 

 Kittens? 

 Or mice? 
All of these animals can be crocheted using just a small amount of leftover yarn—even, and especially, by beginners.

This vest is a pretty eye-catcher because it has vertical stripes. The brilliant thing is that you only knit it in one color. The stripes are crocheted on later. In the pattern, I show you exactly how to do it.

Now I hope you have lots of fun knitting it!
