I’m a crochet designer who loves to explore new techniques like slip stitch crochet or Tunisian crochet. And I’m intrigued by unusual constructions, for example, I invented a way to make horizontal cables.
Most of my patterns are crochet patterns. but I wrote two knitting patterns so far, one of them to transfer my technique of horizontal cables to knitting. It is called Mohnteilchen - knitted!, the knitted version of Himbeerwellen.

Here’s a group for my patterns: A Hookful of Splendor - Designs by Tanja Osswald

In 2017, I ran a subscription for fingerless glove patterns, My Year of Mitts. The January pattern is Pastos.
The February Pattern is Wie Gemalt. The March pattern is Fish on a Treasure Hunt. The April pattern is Twostep Mitts, the May pattern Lady Mint, the June pattern Etheral, the July pattern Lasierend, the August pattern Owl about Mitts, the September pattern Infatuation Mitts, the October pattern Be Careful to Twist, the November pattern s- & z-Twist Mitts and the December pattern is Perlendreieck.

For 2018, I offered another subscription, My Year of Patterns 2018. This time, it is a little different. You don’t get a fixed set of patterns, it is all up to you.
This is an individual and active subscription. The subscription is a once only payment of 30 euros and runs from January 1st to December 31st, 2018.
Which patterns are included? That’s up to you! Choose between small or large, simple or sophisticated, cozy or lacy - it is all up to you!

My subscription for 2019 is all about techniques, My Year of Techniques 2019. You will get monthly technique newsletters, along with a monthly pattern featuring the technique. Some slip stitch, some other things - lots of surprises!
