Every little girl starting school needs this little guardian angel!

It’s meant to dangle from her school satchel, accompany her to school every day, and protect or comfort her when something doesn’t quite go as planned.
You can crochet the angel girl from leftover yarn you already have. She is dressed in shades of red and pink, the favorite color of most little girls (the school bag, the school cone, and even her hair are pink too). The school bag can be removed and filled with a few coins or candies.

You can find the pattern here! 
By the way: There is also a guardian angel for boys in my shop.

If you like shades of pink, you’ll also love this little door or window wreath. It’s only 15 cm in diameter, so it fits even in the tiniest corner. You can crochet it using leftover yarn that you’re sure to have at home. You’ll also need a small Styrofoam wreath and a few wax beads. Click here for the pattern!

wander, watching TV on the side, listening to an audiobook, chatting...;-)
But it definitely won’t get boring - quite the opposite - the pattern is a little addictive... You’re crocheting an endless pattern here, so you simply keep crocheting until your desired size is reached.

Just crochet with your favorite yarn, whether a gradient cake, summer cotton, or merino yarn! If you love rose and pink as much as I do, just order the same yarn with the same beautiful color gradient.

Click here and go straight to the pattern!

The lace pattern makes this cowl a true treat for your neck. At the same time, the look is super relaxed and
sporty. Because of the way it is crocheted, both sides look equally beautiful, and with a little trick, the join between rounds is invisible! You
don't have to worry at all while wearing it about having a pretty or less
pretty side showing, or about making sure the join between rounds
is at the nape of your neck. That's because the join between rounds is invisible! :-) Simply a wonderful, uncomplicated basic piece for every day. As always, you can achieve a completely different look depending on which yarn and which color or colors you use. With a lovely gradient yarn, you can create a cheerful, colorful cowl for all seasons, and with a cozy
merino yarn your cowl becomes especially warm and absolutely perfect for fall and
winter.


Of course, you can customize the size of your cowl completely
to your liking!

• professionally computer-created crochet chart for the first 3 rounds of the cowl
• photo tutorial with a detailed written explanation of every single row (37 step-by-step photos)

give it a try! However, the pattern does not include a crochet basics course
section! Knowledge of the listed stitches is assumed. You need the following crochet skills for this project:

Crochet a double-layer neckerchief for babies and children - super easy and quick



Click here for more info and pictures

Beginners and relaxation crocheters, take note!

This neckerchief for babies and children is truly a must-have! I designed it because I couldn’t find anything like it and really missed it in everyday life with a baby! And it really is so practical and cozy! Kids love it - really!

On cold days, it works great as a scarf substitute; when children are teething,
the cotton version can also be used wonderfully as a drool bib.

Thanks to the practical snap fastener, it can be closed at the back of the neck in no time. When it’s made of cotton, I simply wash it in the machine too! It has to be uncomplicated and quick.

Have fun crocheting and enjoy wearing it!
