@Authors,

This colorful children's jacket with pockets and a hood fits sizes 92–104. It is knitted top-down with raglan shaping. Autumn can come, because you'll surely have it finished by then.

A great challenge for advanced knitters. All steps are well described.

This poncho also doubles as a triangular shawl and, with its pretty lace pattern and waves, looks great for any occasion. For advanced knitters, it’s really fun to knit. It definitely won’t get boring.

A small challenge for experienced knitters is this lace pattern.

It can be recreated delicately with fine yarn and thin needles for table runners or curtains, for example.
It can also be made with thicker yarn and corresponding needles for a sweater.
These are just a few examples of how this lace pattern can be used.

Ayana Half-Moon Shawl—to beat boredom while crocheting ;-)



-- to the pattern --

The airy, lightweight Ayana Half-Moon Shawl is crocheted using about 150g of sock yarn and presents a bit of a challenge, as each row features a different pattern. - You’re guaranteed not to get bored while crocheting!

The pattern is 18 pages long—it includes a crochet chart for all rows, a written description of all rows (with photos for each row), and a short version of the description without photos for printing. Due to the constantly changing stitch sequences,

the shawl is somewhat challenging and therefore not suitable for “casual” crocheting; it’s best for more advanced crocheters.

For experienced knitters, this infinity scarf is worked using the doubleface technique. You should be familiar with the technique, but then you can call an exclusive designer piece like this your own. Optical illusion included.

The pattern can be found here.

This lightweight hat made from sock yarn is also intended more for advanced knitters. It has a delicate lace pattern that requires quite a bit of attention. The pattern is written out round by round and is also shown in a knitting chart.

This jumping owl works just like other jumping figures you may know—the figure is set in motion by pulling the string. But here there’s a little extra: the wings and tail open like a fan.
 


Almost everyone is familiar with the individual techniques needed to make this owl, such as cutting, gluing, and tying knots. What is additionally needed here is perseverance and the ability to work precisely. Crafting experience and technical understanding would also be an advantage. The owl is made from photo cardstock and measures approx. 22.5 x 27.5 cm.

A beautiful bag with plenty of room for your shopping.

A combination of tapestry technique and double stitch (both explained in detail).

Required prior knowledge: chain stitch, slip stitch, single crochet

For beginners, this tea light holder is a bit too complicated, but if you already have some crafting experience and perhaps even know the twisting technique used here, then you’ll be able to make this holder without much difficulty.
 


The tea light holder measures approx. 8 x 10.5 x 8 cm and is made from photo cardstock. In the illustrated craft pattern, I describe every step.

The back can certainly be shown off a little cheekily in the warm season!

A beautiful combination of 3 patterns creates a wonderful crochet top.
Actually wearable in every season—as an eye-catcher in summer—
and in the cooler seasons as a great addition under a vest or jacket!

A detailed row-by-row description guides you through the crochet process.
For clarity, there are also 4 crochet charts included in the pattern.

This pattern is designed for sizes S / M / L / XL.
However, the included cut and the gauges make it possible to customize it as well.
