If there is any shoe-model that's iconic, it has to be Converse. Who didn't get flat feet from these shoes in the 80ies and 90ies? Many years ago I made crochet baby shoes looking like Converse, but today's pattern is for adults! You can find it here.

Sæl / Seal
Well. Today I really hope I'll be flying off to Greenland! I don't have a lot of plans on what I'll be doing - apart from the birthday - but I would love to taste cooked seal. So today's pattern is for a little seal hat! It's a small child size, but the idea can be used for adults as well. Maybe the seals will come closer?

Kan man lave dem kolde? / Can you make them cool?
I have no idea what age you have, you who read this. But my age is such that I'm having heat flashes. It's so ANNOYING! It comes from nowhere and suddenly you are sitting there, steaming. So I got to think about if you could take a hot water bottle and just fill it will cold water and ice cubes? Not all the hot water for me, please. For instance you could use this pattern.

Solopgang / Sunrise
As you may have noticed, I'm hunting the sunrise when crossing the Øresund bridge EVERY morning from the end of January until the middle of February. This year, it haven't been great - on Friday, when there was a very pretty sunrise, actually, I overslept...... Well. So today's pattern is simply a sunrise! Shown as a child's vest. I'm sure you can knit it in other ways as well!

Valentine
This Friday is Valentines day. It's about anything with hearts, and it's not just about humans being in love. Today's pattern is actually for dogs! A sweater with hearts in cables. If it should be really Valentine, it should actually be a bit more pink, I think......

Klar til Valentines dag / Ready for Valentines day
So February is really here, and a big part of February is filled with hearts. Because of Valentines Day. It's quite nice, I think. Not, that I celebrate it, but all the hearts are very nice. Today's pattern is for a very big heart on a crochet vest. I get this idea that you might make this and then wear it if you are looking for a date? Really a very clear signal..... The pattern is this one.

De mørke måneder / The dark months
I don't know about you, but I'm beginning to long for spring. That it will not just be dark outside. While we wait, you might have som fun with today's pattern - a crochet ball toss game. Toss balls in the baskets and collect points. It's really nice, right? If the balls are not too heavy, it's ideal for use indoors. The pattern can be found here.

Nasaq
I don't know any Greenlandic, and I will not even pretend. But I do think Nasaq means some kind of hat in Greenlandic, and today it should be something from Greenland. Denmark is waiting to see if Donald Trump will be talking about Greenland like he has done - a lot. You know - Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders, and they can choose, but all these threats are not that amazing...... The hat that might be Greenlandic, can be found here.

Snebolde / Snowballs
It's Monday. And winter. Which means that there is a weird pattern here on the blog, and today it is - because it's winter - crochet snowballs! They can be used indoor. Or during the summer. Or in case there is no snow during winter. But you need to crochet a lot in order to have a proper snowball fight! The pattern can be found here.

De 3 vise mænd / The 3 wise men
So yesterday was the Sunday of the Epiphany, or the three wise men, and today is actually their day. In Sweden, Christmas continues until exactly today, which is a day off! So I guess we should also celebrate it here on the blog with a pattern for the 3 wise men. The pattern can be found here.

Sushi!
So New Year is tomorrow and a lot of people eat sushi to celebrate (also I couldn't find any great New Years patterns.....) so today's pattern is simply for sushi for your neck! When you roll up the scarf it looks like sushi. So that's what's my brain can come up with today. Happy Monday! The last Monday of the year.......

Stjernen / The star
No Christmas without the star over Bethlehem. Today's star is actually a Hanukkah star, but that's just fine. After all, Christmas began in the people of the Jews. You can make it in exactly the color you like - I guess I would pick something other than blue and green. The pattern can be found here.

Angry bird
It's no joke that red cardinals have become the main character in the game "Angry birds". I heard that they are so aggressive! They are also very pretty with all their red feathers, and to be honest - who doesn't like a bird with a bit of character? This time you'll get a pattern for an ornament for the tree. Looks almost like an elf-bird! Find the pattern here.

Husk fødderne / Remember the feet
In the very long list of Christmas-patterns, it's really important not to forget the feet! Today's pattern is perfect for baking gingerbread cookies - you can even find ideas for the shapes! Are you baking cookies? It's NOT on my list. But the pattern is really nice - you could actually use the pattern for pot holders. I might do that!

Helt ny / All new
So December has really started and today's pattern is for a small, crochet Christmas angel. The pattern was released yesterday, so it's really quite new! It's also very cute. It looks like a thing that you might make several times. The pattern can be found here.

Juleskum / Santa marshmallows
In Scandinavia, we have the world's BEST Christmas candy! Juleskum from Cloetta is one of a kind. Yesterday turned out totally different from what I planned, and just to make it better, I went to Ismageriet and tasted their Juleskum-ice cream. Which was even better than I imagined. Today's pattern is for a hat in the same colors, supposed to look like a marshmallow. Have fun! (And just try the ice cream if you get a chance to do it!)

Movember
So it's November and so it's time to remember men's health, especially testicular cancer. Part of it is growing a moustache to remind us of Movember. So not all want to grow moustaches, and since it's also the time of year where it's getting cold, today's pattern actually solve two problems! You can knit your own moustache (without having to grow it) AND you can warm your face. The pattern is this one.

Du kender sikkert en / I'm sure you know one
We have a few girls in our family who are TOTALLY crazy with Harry Potter! They almost know the books by heart and can talk about the Hogwarts universe for hours. Do you have any of those in your family? Today's pattern is for Harry Potter house scarfs. As earrings. They can't take that long to make! The colors are not the official ones, I'm afraid, but ask an expert and get the colors right. The pattern can be found here.

November hue / November hat
I don't know how you feel, but I do think November is such a boring month! The best thing is when you can hang out the Christmas lights outside, because otherwise it's just darn and winds and cold and rain. Today's pattern is actually called November Hat - but it's so pretty! With a border collie! Those are some extremely smart dogs, and you can only hope you speed up a bit yourself if you wear it.

Varme græskar / Warm pumpkins
This week Halloween is coming up - pumpkins are everywhere AND it's beginning to be a bit colder, so what could be better than these pumpkin mitts? They are a little bit spooky with the skulls and the bats, but not too much. You can find the pattern here.
