Choosing the Right Colors for Autumn

Nothing evokes autumn quite like warm yarn colors. When picking yarn for your autumn crochet or knitting projects, consider shades like mustard yellow, terracotta, brown, burgundy, orange, olive, or deep green. These hues reflect the changing leaves and create a cozy, seasonal atmosphere in every handmade creation.

Now is the perfect time to let your creativity flow. Whether you’re knitting, crocheting, this autumn promises inspiration, warmth, and the joy of handmade toys and accessories.

Seasonal Inspiration: Halloween

Honestly, autumn wouldn’t be complete without Halloween - the main event of the season! 🎃 It’s always been one of my favorite excuses to get creative and dress up my handmade toys in all sorts of cute or spooky outfits. If you’re into knitting or crochet, there are so many awesome Halloween patterns on Etsy, like tiny witch hats or pumpkin costumes. Seriously, they make your creations look even more festive and fun! 🧡👻

By the way, that doll in the first picture? I took picture of her a few years ago out on the balcony of my city apartment. It’s funny looking back because now I’ve moved out to the countryside, so autumn and Halloween might have a whole new vibe this year and honestly, I can’t wait! Back then, my whole balcony was covered in gorgeous autumn flowers, and I went all out crocheting and knitting different pumpkins and ended up with a really sweet little harvest. I decorated the balcony with everything, and it was just so magical to spend those cool evenings wrapped up in a warm blanket, sipping tea, and soaking in all the handmade beauty. Those are the moments I cherish - hopefully this year will be just as cozy but with a fresh countryside twist!

Mattress Stitch: My Go-To Technique for Seamless Finishing

Have you ever finished a hand-knitted toy, only to feel frustrated by messy seams? I’ve been there too! When I first started making toys, I struggled to make my joins look neat and professional. Honestly, I don’t mind if my toys end up a bit quirky or imperfect—in fact, I think that’s part of their charm. Even when I use the mattress stitch, I’m not aiming for absolute perfection, and I wouldn’t call myself a pro at it. For me, it’s more about enjoying the process than making everything look flawless.

Still, there are some basic steps to the mattress stitch that show how it’s supposed to be done, and I’d like to walk you through them.

What Is the Mattress Stitch in Knitting?

The mattress stitch is a type of knitting seam used to join two pieces of knitted fabric. Most of the time, I use it for joining pieces made with stockinette stitch. This technique is worked with the right sides facing you, which gives you full control and a clear view of how the seam is forming.

The mattress stitch creates a smooth, edge-to-edge finish that holds its shape and blends in with the stitches around it.

Why I Always Use the Mattress Stitch

1. Invisible Seams That Look Nice.

The biggest reason I love the mattress stitch is its magic ability to disappear.

2. Strong, Flexible, and Secure

Hand-knit toys are often handled, squeezed, and loved a lot. That’s why durability matters. The mattress stitch creates a seam that’s strong but flexible, perfect for joining stuffed parts like arms, legs, and heads without distorting the shape.

3. Versatile for All Types of Projects

Though I mainly use this stitch for toy-making, it’s equally effective for finishing hand-knit garments.

Whether I’m making a soft bunny or a cozy cardigan, the mattress stitch is always part of my toolkit.

Where I Use the Mattress Stitch Most

If you’re wondering where to apply this stitch, here are some of my favorite uses:

• Toy Body Parts: Perfect for seaming bodies, arms and legs.

• Garment Seams: Great for joining knitted sweater pieces like side seams and sleeves.

• Any Stockinette Edge: Creates a flawless edge-to-edge join that blends with your knitting.

How to Do the Mattress Stitch: Step-by-Step Tips

Learning how to do the mattress stitch is easier than you might think. Here are a few essential tips to get you started:

  • Prepare Your Pieces

Lay your knitted pieces side by side with the right sides facing up. Line up the edges you want to join.

  • Thread the Yarn

Cut a length of yarn (about 2–3 times the length of the seam). Thread it onto a blunt (tapestry) needle. If possible, use the same yarn you used to knit your pieces for the best match.

  • Locate the “Bars”

Look for the horizontal strands (“bars”) that run between each stitch at the very edge of your fabric. You’ll be picking these up with your needle.

  • Start the Seam

Insert the needle from back to front under the first bar between the edge stitch and the next stitch on one piece. Then, move to the other piece and pick up the corresponding first bar in the same way.

  • Alternate Sides

Next, insert your needle under the next bar on the first piece, then under the next bar on the second piece, and continue alternating from side to side.

  • Tighten as You Go

After every couple of stitches, gently pull the yarn snug. This closes up the seam, but don’t pull so tightly that the fabric puckers.

The seam should look almost invisible from the right side.

  • Finishing

When you reach the end, weave in your ends securely on the inside of your work.

As a designer, I see finishing not just as the last step, but as part of the creative process. The mattress stitch gives me the control I need to bring my toys and garments to life with intention and care.

If you're looking to improve your knitting finishing techniques, this stitch is a game-changer. Whether you're seaming small limbs on a toy or joining the side seams of a sweater, the mattress stitch will make your work look clean and durable.

From Craft Table to TV Screen: How a Handmade Toy Found Its Way Into a Major Series

One of the things I cherish most about being part of the handmade community is witnessing the incredible journeys that your creations take. It never ceases to amaze me how something made with love, yarn, and a pair of knitting needles can go on to be part of something much bigger — sometimes even history. And today, I wanted to share a little story that truly touched my heart.

Not long ago, one of wonderful makers from our knitting community knitted an adorable polar bear using one of my toy patterns. It was a sweet, charming little bear — one of those creations that instantly makes you smile. But what happened next is what makes this story truly special.

Find polar bear knitting pattern here

A while later, she reached out to me with the most unexpected news: her polar bear had not only won a competition, but had also been chosen as a prop for a real television series! 🎬🐻 Yes, you read that right — a handmade toy, lovingly created from a knitting pattern I designed, was headed for the screen.

The show is called “The Bombing of Pan Am 103”, a powerful drama based on true events that took place in Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988. It’s a heartbreaking story that deeply affected people around the world. The series, a joint production between the BBC and Netflix, aims to shed light on those events and the lives forever changed by them.

Knowing that one of my patterns became a small part of a story this meaningful is something I’ll treasure forever. It’s a reminder that handmade things carry a special kind of soul — and sometimes, they quietly weave themselves into history.

It’s wonderful to see big projects like this bringing crafters together and shining a light on the handmade community. Initiatives like these not only inspire creativity but also help support small makers and keep traditional crafts alive. It’s a great reminder of how powerful and valuable handmade work still is today.

What touches me most is seeing how your beautiful creations become part of stories that matter. Whether they’re gifted to loved ones, used to comfort, or even featured on screen, every handmade toy carries a piece of your heart. And as a designer, it means the world to see where your hands and my patterns can take us together.

Have you seen this series yet? And just for fun… would you love to see your handmade toy as a prop in a film or TV show one day? Who knows where our yarn and needles might lead us next✨🎥🧶

New Crochet Woodland Whimsy Book: Adorable Animal Patterns, Outfits, and Tips for Every Crocheter 🧶✨

Hi everyone!

I’m so excited to finally share more details about my latest release — the crochet version of my Woodland Whimsy book!

If you’ve been following my work, you might remember that about a year ago I released a knitting pattern book featuring forest animals, and it quickly became popular among knitters.

Find the book "Knitted Creatures of the Forest:Woodland Whimsy" here

That original book included knitted toy patterns for a duck, a squirrel, a badger, a hedgehog, and an otter, along with a collection of cozy outfits and accessories for each one. Ever since then, so many of crocheters have asked me to create crochet animal patterns for the same lovable characters — and as someone who loves a good creative challenge, I couldn’t resist!

Creating Crochet Animal Toys

As I started working on the crochet patterns for woodland animals, I realized these characters were becoming more than just crocheted versions of their knitted counterparts. They each developed their own personalities, names, and stories, which made the creative process even more special.

I’m thrilled to introduce you to the five charming characters you’ll meet in the book:

🦆 Duck – Duke Dapperquil

🐿️ Squirrel – Sugar Whiskertail

🦡 Badger – Bruno Brushwood

🦔 Hedgehog – Lottie Prickle-Bush

🦦 Otter – Iris Ripplewood

Alongside them, you’ll find crochet patterns for their outfits and accessories — dresses, pants, jackets, vests, hats, socks, and more! All projects in the book are made using a 2.5 mm crochet hook, making them perfect for intermediate crocheters and confident beginners looking to level up their skills.

What’s Inside the Book

Besides the crochet animal patterns, the book is filled with helpful tips, photo guides, and video tutorials to walk you through every part of the process.

Here’s a sneak peek at what you’ll learn:

• How to choose the right yarn for crochet toys (I worked with yarns from Scheepjes and Cascade 220, but I also include a list of great yarn alternatives 🧶)

• Techniques for attaching arms and legs securely so they stay movable

• How to create eye sockets with step-by-step instructions and video support

• The correct way to stuff amigurumi toys for a polished, cuddly result

• A foolproof method for making even stitch increases to achieve a perfect crochet round without seams and corners

• Tips for changing yarn colors seamlessly for clean, professional-looking toys

• Tips for color work to make nice patterns on your crocheted fabric

And as a little extra, there’s a bonus crochet pattern for a tiny fish and a bucket — the perfect accessory for Duke the duck! 🐟🪣✨

Get the FREE fish crochet pattern here

Mix and Match Crochet and Knitting Outfits

One of my favorite things about this project is how versatile it turned out. While each character’s outfit was carefully designed with their personality in mind — from color choices to little details — all the clothes are interchangeable between the different animals (except for the shoes, which don’t fit the duck due to his webbed feet).

Even better, the crochet outfits fit the knitted toys too — and vice versa! This means you can mix and match, invent new woodland friends, and personalize your characters however you like.

I absolutely love seeing how you take my patterns and make them your own, giving life to new characters with their own backstories and adventures. That’s what makes designing crochet animal toys so special.

If you’re passionate about amigurumi patterns, crocheted woodland creatures, and making heirloom-quality handmade toys, this book is for you.

Find the crochet pattern book " Woodland Whimsy: Amigurumi Animals & Toy Clothes" here

You can also purchase the patterns individually in digital format.

Right now, the Hedgehog and Badger crochet patterns are available on Etsy and Ravelry, and I’ll be adding the rest gradually.

Colors & Creative Techniques for Knitting and Crochet

The days are getting warmer, and it feels like the perfect time to have some fun experimenting with knitting and crocheting outfits! The ideal moment to play with new color combinations and try out different knitting and crochet techniques to make handmade toys even more special!

For me, adding clothing details isn't just about decoration - it's about highlight a toy’s unique personality. Those little touches are what truly make each one stand out and come to life!

One of my favorite knitting techniques is jacquard, which helps create beautiful, intricate designs. I think it adds elegance to a toy, and when the colors are chosen well, the result feels beautifully balanced and harmonious ❤️🎨

I’ve realized that when I mix multiple colors for jacquard knitting or crocheting, choosing the right color palette for the final piece can be quite challenging. That’s why, before starting a jacquard project, I always make small swatches to check if I like the color combination.

Take a look at the charming outfits of the knitted and crocheted hedgehogs, decorated with similar jacquard-style patterns. You can find the pattern for the crocheted hedgehog in the new crochet book "Woodland Whimsy", or as an individual pattern on Etsy.

I believe the right color palette can really enhance a simple jacquard design and make it look beautiful, while the wrong palette can ruin even the most interesting jacquard pattern. For me, working with different colors always feels like a puzzle at the start, but it’s definitely worth the effort!

Find the knitting outfit pattern for a baby toy though the link

When creating a jacquard pattern, I strive to keep things as straightforward as possible. This means choosing a pattern that incorporates no more than five stitches per color. By doing this, I avoid long floats on the reverse side of the work and only twist the strands when changing colors. I've noticed that this approach makes the process much easier. Therefore, just because some jacquard patterns use a wide range of colors, it doesn’t necessarily mean they will be difficult to create.

Here are some useful tips for working with jacquard knitting:

Use a loose tension: When knitting jacquard, it's essential to keep your tension relaxed to avoid puckering or stretching. If your knitted stitches are too tight, the design may become distorted or uneven. Practice a slightly looser tension while working with two or more colors.

Keep track of your colorwork chart: For complex patterns, it's helpful to mark off the rows or sections you’ve completed on your colorwork chart to avoid losing your place.

Choose the right yarn: Select yarns of similar thickness and texture to ensure that the colors blend seamlessly together. If there is a major difference in thickness, it may cause one color to pop out more than the other, disrupting your design.

We also recently talked about striped patterns on social media as a fun way to style toy outfits. Stripes can add a playful, classic or even modern feel to any design - and as you may have noticed, I adore stripes and use them all the time! 🌈🤗

Another technique I love is lace knitting and crochet. Delicate lace patterns add a soft, romantic touch - perfect for my female characters. Just look at my newest crochet goose pattern, Josephine Plumley! With her bold yet minimalist outfit, she looks absolutely stunning 🪿🙌🏼

You can find the crochet goose pattern for both the crochet toy and her spring-summer outfit at the link

Lace knitting and crocheting are beautiful techniques that create light, airy fabrics with delicate, decorative patterns. By using a mix of yarn overs, chains, and decreases, you can form everything from simple openwork textures to intricate floral or geometric designs. These techniques add softness, elegance, and a touch of romance to any project.

Wishing you a cozy, creative time full of knitting and crochet inspiration! 🧶✨

Warm regards, Mariia 🌸

Martin and Greta 📸

STORY

Martin and Greta had been married for 10 years and they wanted to celebrate their anniversary in a special way. They decided to go on a cruise, a dream they had been planning for a long time.

They were both very excited to spend a week on the beautiful ship, exploring new destinations and enjoying each other's company. As they boarded the ship, Martin couldn't resist taking out his camera and taking pictures of Greta. She looked stunning in her summer dress and beret that she purchased in Paris on their anniversary some years ago. Martin had always been a passionate photographer, he had a crossbag where he kept all his camera equipment. He loved capturing the beauty of his wife and the world around him. During the cruise, they swam in the pool, danced at the disco, and even tried their luck at the casino. But their favorite activity was simply sitting on the deck, watching the waves go by.

On their last night, as they packed their bags, Greta asked Martin to show her all the photos he had taken. They sat together, looking through the memories of their wonderful journey. Greta smiled as she saw the photos of herself, feeling beautiful and loved. Martin and Greta's anniversary cruise had been a dream come true, and they knew that they would cherish the memories and the photos for the rest of their lives.
