A Personal Update

I have been silent for a while, I know.

The Infinity Scarf is now available as a written pattern too.

Need something new for setting the table? Maybe something that isn't too formal, but still adds a touch of style.

Try this new crochet pattern and make an elegant table runner.

The pattern for the Dahlia Washcloths is ready! Bring the Summer into your home with these delicious washcloths.

Make them of very soft cotton and you will have the softest washcloths ever.

You find the pattern at LoveCrafts, Ravelry and also at LittleBugz as part of a yarn package. It is available in English and Danish. (At LoveCrafts, find the Danish version here).

There is a new pattern in town - or actually 2-in-1. You get both for FREE for a short while.

Don't you think a big and a smaller pillow looks good together? The bonus-pages for the Heart on Fire is ready now. This means the pattern now includes a smaller heart too.

Tomorrow it is Valentine's Day and everyone deserves at least one heart. Here is one for you. 


The pattern is free for a while. See the details below.

My latest pattern is now available. The hat and tube are square and are very light, despite the bumpy, fluffy look.


It was my 3-year-old daughter, that requested the hat.

The Picky Pillow Pattern now includes TWO pillows in the exquisite Twisted Stitch pattern.


If you bought the pattern already, remember to get the updated version. If you haven't bought it yet, go get the pattern for the two beautiful pillows.

The Picky Pillow pattern is now available. The pillow is designed to support you when you crochet or knit - or just want to relax.


The Tunisian twisted stitch pattern is used and a full photo tutorial for this is included in the pattern, so all you have to know in advance, is the Tunisian simple stitch and how to do regular single crochet.

Buy the Pattern

The pattern is available in English (US terms) from Ravelry and LoveCrafts. It is also available in Danish, where it is called 'Pernitten Pude'. Find the Danish version at LoveCrafts and Ravelry.

About the Pattern

As usual you get a pattern with lots of photos and guidance helping you out.

Cro-hook

The main part of the pillow is worked in rows back and forward. You will need a cro-hook / double-ended hook for this. With or without cable. This also means that the length of your cro-hook doesn't matter much, as you don't have to do a full forward pass before you start a return pass.

Inner Pillow

In the pattern I suggest using an inner pillow. This is optional as the stitches are tight enough to hold the filling in. Personally I think and inner pillow gives you a more expensive-looking pillow, and it will of course also help the pillow stay in shape. So instructions for making an inner pillow are included. And it is NOT difficult to make one.

Adjustable

The pattern also includes instructions for adjusting the pillow size any way you want. So it can fit any inner pillow you have already or whatever you decide you need.

Testers

It has been quite a journey to make this pattern. No less than three testers have helped me out and once again, I'm surprised how much testing can improve a pattern. Thank you to Marjolein, Ewa, and Karen!

A new pattern is out. A cute little Smiley Moon.


The Smiley Moon has actually existed for quite some time. Now it exists as a written pattern too. Find it at  Ravelry or as a package with 3 amigurumi patterns at LoveCrafts.

Here is a yarn bowl, that doesn't break, if it drops off the table. And you can make it yourself in whatever color you want :)


The yarn bowl has three slits at the top, which keeps your yarn in place. The bowl can be carried as a little bag and you can easily remove any yarn from the bowl without cutting the yarn. Due to it being felted, it is relatively heavy for its size, which helps it stay, where you want it.

The pattern can be purchased from LoveCrafts and Ravelry and includes:

I've had my beloved red ribbed hat for a while and I'm really happy about it.

The other day my 3½-year-old ran away with the hat and wouldn't return it. Later he asked if he could have one too - a red one! So the happy mom made one more red hat.

I didn't write the original pattern for small kids, but it can easily be adjusted.

Here is what to do.

YEAH! A new pattern has been released! It is a sideways hat. Made completely from the Top Stitch Rib pattern. I've nursed the top, so it is ribbed almost all the way to the top center.

You will find the pattern at LoveCrafts.

A tester said: "It's is a very lightweight feeling on my head when compared to a hat made in regular crochet stitches. And much stretchier. Just all-around more comfortable."

Oh boy - it is getting cold outside!

So what to wear, when you want something special, fancy and warm - and fur isn't an option?

The Mini-Tube Scarf pattern got released yesterday on LoveCrafts.

Have a closer look there or right below.

What type of scarf do you want? One pattern fits all desires.


My newest pattern works very well for both a warm winter scarf and a light summer scarf. Plus everything in between.

The pattern is perfect for crochet beginners as well as more trained crocheters.

It is available on my designer page at LoveCrafts (in English/Danish/German) as well as in Ravelry.

A little Toy for Your Next Project?

Babies love smiley faces. This is a happy little sun that crackles when squeezed. The sun is loved by my 1½-year old girl as well as my 3-year old toddler. You can make it of leftover yarn.

It is perfect as a present for a baby shower. Make 3 of them and put them on a string and you have a stroller toy, the baby will love!

The Smiley Sun amigurumi pattern is currently available as part of a 3-piece package at LoveCrafts in Danish and English.

Or can be bought individually at Ravelry in both Languages.
