One cheerful character, born stitch by stitch • story and photos If anything can bring laughter into a room, it must be Naerupall Niko. This soft little monkey began with a simple idea and a ball of yarn, but quickly grew into a fully fledged cuddle companion. Niko is big (about 70 cm), light and…
Some doilies come together quickly, and then there is Õnnevoog, which flowed into being slowly, calmly and with dignity, as though life had all the time in the world. Crocheted from fine cotton thread and measuring about 125 × 56 cm, it manages to be both elegant and playful at once. The pattern is a…
‘Sammalhein’ – green hat in yarn with mohair The first is a green jasmine-stitch hat, crocheted from yarn containing mohair. It makes the hat especially soft and airy, yet very warm. The hat measures 40–42 cm around the head and is 17 cm deep, so it is suitable for a child of around 6–12 months.…

Not that fashionable ‘minimalist beige’ being shoved everywhere at the moment, but something genuinely cosy. Filet crochet is one of those techniques that looks simple from the outside. In reality, it means endless counting, unravelling and quiet swearing to yourself.…

I made her a beige two-piece set consisting of a top and afour-tiered skirt in 100%cotton yarn, made with love and patience. 👚 The top is crocheted horizontally so that it stays stretchy…
