The knitted jacket with the train motif looks like a page from a picture book!

The jacket in size 80/86 or 92 is worked in stockinette stitch and closed with a zipper. That means no annoying buttoning. The appliqués are crocheted. You don’t need any special crochet skills for this; basic knowledge is enough. In the pattern, each piece is described in detail and with pictures.

Materials needed:

• 25 g each of Suavel acrylic yarn by Schachenmayr in light gray, apple green, and
  light blue
• Colorful leftover yarn (e.g. Catania by Schachenmayr) for the crochet appliqués
• 2.5 mm knitting needles
• 2.0 mm crochet hook
• 1 separating zipper (for size 80/86: 30 cm, for size 92/98: 35 cm)

A sweater for every season is the knitted sweater "Blue Lagoon". It is knitted from gradient sock yarn in a lace pattern, making it wonderfully light. The pattern is very stretchy and elastic. So on cold days you can wear a shirt or a turtleneck underneath.
The sweater can be knitted in sizes 36 - 46.

Easy to knit, easy to throw on, easy to stay warm in, and easy to look great!
You can do it all with this beautiful, trendy poncho, which you can knit in any size. The virgin wool keeps you reliably warm, and the subtle color play comes directly from the skein. We knit in one piece from the neck to the hem using size 8 needles, so we make quick progress.

I hope you enjoy making and wearing this poncho. You’ll find more information and the pattern by clicking on the title.

White Short Poncho

Ponchos can be elegant too - like this one! In sophisticated white and with an elegant cable pattern, cozy and warm made from 100% pure extra-fine merino wool, and very easy to knit. It is designed to be a little shorter at the arms than regular ponchos so you don't get caught on anything. My friend Andrea, who received the exact one in the picture as a gift, absolutely loves it. She especially likes that you don't "sweep anything off the table" when you move around in it. Your hands are always free, and you still stay nice and warm.

You'll find all further information by clicking on the heading.

I hope you enjoy this project - Yours, Ina

Even Barbie dolls love ponchos ...They’re quick to crochet from just a few grams of sock yarn. Even crochet beginners can do it! And you’ll always have a fitting little gift for a young doll mom :-)

PS. Look what became of my leftover yarn:

A cuddly soft and warm short poncho made from sock yarn—you’ll really enjoy wearing it. It’s easy to throw on quickly and can even be unbuttoned at the front.

A lovely project for beginners who have knitted before. Of course, it also makes a great gift.

There’s something cozy, warm, and chic for men too. This vest with a cable pattern is knitted from merino wool and looks good for any occasion—sometimes with a shirt underneath, sometimes with a pullover.

Size 46-50 is described here. The width and height can also be very easily adjusted for other sizes.

A great project for experienced knitters—and also as a Christmas gift.

Of course, there is also a cute sweater for toddlers. This one fits sizes 86 to 92. The version with a collar and button placket looks lovely on both girls and boys.

A nice project for beginners with knitting experience.
