Timeless Baby Blanket Made from Merino Wool

This is absolutely a TV-friendly pattern, because the baby blanket has a wide border in seed stitch all the way around, and in between there are exactly 4 pattern rows alternating knit and purl stitches. You'll pick it up very quickly, and even beginner knitters can knit it well. And before you know it, you'll have a beautiful, very soft and cozily warm baby blanket made from breathable merino wool. All little babies love it, because merino wool keeps them wonderfully warm without making them sweat underneath. Parents will enjoy the blanket too, because it can be washed in the washing machine. You can find more information, photos, and the knitting pattern by clicking the heading.

I hope you have lots of fun with this project - Yours, Ina

The pattern is quite straightforward and almost takes care of itself as you go from round to round. You’ll find more information about the materials and the crochet pattern by clicking on the title.

I hope you enjoy this project—Ina

If you enjoy Tunisian crochet or want to learn it, this origami bag is just the thing for you! You can crochet it in any size you like. It’s crocheted using the basic Tunisian stitch, with no increases or decreases, simply a rectangle. You don’t even have to worry about color changes, since the color gradient comes from the skein itself.

The basic Tunisian stitch is explained in detail in the pattern, so even beginners will have no trouble following along.

Finally, the rectangle is folded in origami style and sewn together at two points. The trim and handle are then crocheted conventionally in a contrasting color.

A MUST for everyone from the Ruhr region ♥
But everyone else is also delighted by the beautiful asymmetrical shawl "Ruhrpott Sunrise" ...

A Bobbel with a yardage of about 1,000 m, a matching crochet hook - and you're ready to go!

The pattern is very easy to follow and absolutely TV-friendly ♥

A customer recently wrote to me again about how wonderfully TV-friendly this infinity scarf is to knit.
The pattern blocks add variety, but all sections are easy to follow and simple to knit. You’ll need DK-weight yarn (22 stitches per 10 cm) in two colors (120 g of Color A and 60 g of Color B).

These gift tags will help you stay organized even amid the holiday gift-giving rush and ensure you give the beautifully wrapped gifts to the people they’re meant for. The tags are very easy to make, and all the individual parts can be cut out and assembled effortlessly while watching TV.



The gift tags are 5.5 to 6 cm tall, made from cardstock, and some are decorated with glitter liner. You’ll receive a total of 17 templates (4 large ones for the background and 13 smaller ones for decorating).

Since this scarf is knitted using only knit and purl stitches, it’s definitely TV-friendly. 



What makes this scarf special are the pointed ends at the beginning and end of the scarf.

Any yarn will work, since you can adjust the width yourself by working more or fewer increases. I used Rowan Super Fine Merino 4-ply with a yardage of 165 m / 50 g. Using a 4 mm circular needle, I used 300 g to achieve a finished length of 166 cm (short side) / 220 cm (long side) and a width of 26 cm.

My pattern is written in detail (including pictures and a knitting chart) so that it’s also suitable for beginners.

Here you’ll find the pattern for the scarf “Nachts in Toronto”.

This crocheted blanket is perfect for TV



It’s started in the center and crocheted in rounds like a granny square, using double crochet and chain stitches.

The best part about this project: The further along the blanket is, the more it’ll keep you warm on cooler evenings while you’re crocheting.
