Dear users, dear authors,

@Authors,
2–3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget the link and image, as well as the usual information.

Kids who spend a lot of time outdoors especially need to be bundled up warmly in winter. It’s much more fun wearing this pretty knitted cardigan underneath! The cardigan is designed like a picture book, and the crocheted train and tractor motifs will appeal especially to little boys. You can knit the cardigan in sizes 80/86 or 92.

Knitting pattern for a warm cape.

Knitted in knit and purl stitches and with a thick yarn (e.g. Rowan "Softest Merino Wool", 100 g / 100 m yardage), this cape keeps you wonderfully warm during the colder season. 

The pattern is written for size S, but can also be converted for other yarns and sizes.

Here you can find the knitting pattern for the cape

A doll wants to be dressed nice and warm and cozy during the cold season, too. This winter outfit is just the thing!

Doll Clothing Luise in a Winter Poncho

      

The clothing fits dolls about 36 cm tall.
The PDF includes the pattern for the poncho, the skirt, the blouse, the panties, the boots, as well as the hat and hand muff.
Suitable for ambitious crochet beginners with basic knowledge.

With two cleverly placed buttons, this poncho is a true quick-change artist. Since the buttons fit through the lace pattern, there’s no need to work in buttonholes—so the buttons can be fastened wherever you like, creating a wide variety of ways to wear it!

Here’s the pattern

Two Woolly Hugs BOBBEL-COTTON cakes (50% cotton, 50% polyacrylic, yardage = 800 m/200 g) in color no. 02 were used for the poncho.

Detailed description as a PDF file with text, crochet chart, and step-by-step photos.

Beautiful and comfortable, this casual jacket / soul warmer is. Whether with a short top or a long-sleeved shirt, whether with jeans or sweatpants—this fashionable basic piece always fits. Just slip it on and feel good.

The pattern is simple and works up quickly. Since the basic pattern only stitches into chain-stitch arches, you can easily work on the soul warmer on the side while watching TV or chatting over coffee.

Here’s the pattern

The Arctica soul warmer is a beautiful and casual companion for all occasions.

The pattern is explained row by row, but is also shown in a chart and is suitable for beginners.
You’ll need about 200g of sock-weight yarn—that’s about 400m per 100g. I also knitted a version using gradient yarn; that one requires about 800m—my version is XL.
Since the knitting width determines the back height, you can easily adjust the size individually.

“Cool Temptation” is an elegant companion for any occasion.
The lace pattern is explained with a chart and requires a bit of attention. The remaining patterns are simple again.
Here is the pattern:

You’ll need 300–400g of sock-weight yarn, i.e. approx. 400m per 100g.
The red poncho is knitted with 300g of yarn with 400m per 100g. The green one is slightly larger, as it uses a yardage of 480m per 120g.

This colorful, cozy cardigan made from merino wool is just right for toddlers. Children that age love pockets. And the cardigan also has a practical hood.

The cardigan is knitted top-down with raglan shaping and has only very few seams. The pockets are knitted in on two sides, making them very sturdy.

Recommended for advanced knitters.
