Viennese winds can be harsh, particularly if you’re a child. Having had their previously favourite hat blown off their head numerous times, I was asked to please make another hat, that doesn’t do that. Behold, the No Blow Hat, so elastic, it clings onto your head without pressure (and, as a side effect, fits most […]

Bobble Hat
I started creating patterns again. So here comes one that is surprisingly easy, but comes with a bunch of interesting different shapes and effects. Still not good at making pictures, though. You’ll need: about 75g of bulky yarn for main colour (MC); about 20g of bulky yarn for contrasting colour (CC), 4.5mm needles (either double […]
Fancy Sweatbands
This pattern was mostly an experiment with a multicoloured Wollmeise yarn I had still lying around. But hey, why not have a fancy sweatband! You need about 25g of fingering yarn and 2.5 mm double-pointed needles. Multicoloured yarn adds the nice colour-effect. Abbreviations: k — knit p — purl k2tbl — knit 2 stitches through […]
Multicoloured Hourglass
This is just a colour pattern, that I used as a substitute in a Norwegian Sweater, but I wanted to share that with peeps in order they want to conduct a similar feat. It has been created with a sense of symmetry and triangles. It came originally not with the hourglass idea, but upon actually […]
Quick Mittens
Last year my sister got a loop made with Manos del Uruguay’s Silk Blend (Luisa). This year I also made her a matching hat of from the same wool upon request as a thank you for proof reading my Master’s thesis. This weekend I had a visit from her and told her that there was […]
Space Antenna Hat
So I did the first Space Invader Hat, that I made a dozen pieces of and everybody was happy. But there is always someone, who want something different. In order to fulfil all needs brought towards me, I made this second hat. And I want to share the pattern with you folks. It is very […]
Space Invader Hat
Years ago, I started these and gave them all around. However, I never published a pattern for them. With an upcoming move, I remembered that I promised someone to make them one and haven’t managed in five years (there are _good_ reasons for that, though). Finally, I made another one and this time, I thought […]
Sunflower Felting Pins – Pattern
For the last election campaign, we needed small tokens to identify our candidates again. This time I made felted pins in the shape of sunflowers. And now that campaigning time is over, I want to share the pattern. Materials needed Felting Mat Scissors Fine Felting Needle Sewing Needle Some Thread Empty Pin Yellow and Green […]
Saizou – the Piggy – Pattern!
A few months ago I had a request for a piggy that should also look a certain way – specifically, this way: Initially, I thought I’d work my way through some pig pattern, but then I modified it so heavily, that the new pattern calls for publication. I used bulky yarn (GGH Camello in pink […]
Final Fantasy Black Mage
Before I show off with the pretty doll I made, I want to introduce you first to the Final Fantasy Black Mage, essentially because I didn’t know it before either. It traditionally looked like this: However, the picture that was presented to me as a ‘this is how it should look in the end, was […]
