Dear users, dear authors,

Have fun with them.

@Authors,
2-3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget the link and image as well as the usual info.

Purzel, the little Easter bunny, is already getting ready for the big Easter egg-painting event! Isn’t he cute? He looks really adorable in his blue overalls with the little pink hearts. He’s eagerly painting the eggs with his brush, which he then stores in his little basket.

Would you like to crochet Purzel?
Then you’ll need:

• 50 g of fluffy yarn (Baby Teddy by Rico) in white
• approx. 20 g white crochet yarn, size 5, as a carried-along yarn
• Cotton yarn (approx. 170 m/50 g, e.g., Cotton 8 by Mayflower or Catania by Schachenmayr) in dark blue and pink
• any colorful cotton scraps for the Easter eggs
• Crochet hooks, sizes 3.0 mm and 2.5 mm
• Polyester stuffing
• 1 thick sewing needle for sewing and joining the pieces
• 1 pointed embroidery needle for embroidering the face
• Pink embroidery floss

If you don’t like crocheting with fluffy yarn, you can also use acrylic yarn of a similar thickness. But I’d like to encourage you to try it with the fluffy yarn, because no other yarn will make the bunny this cuddly and soft. The pattern includes helpful tips on how to crochet with this yarn.

You can really ride on Violetta the unicorn!

Because Violetta is a “stick unicorn.” The stick is made from a soft pool noodle. That way, nothing gets broken indoors, even during a wild ride. And Violetta is so soft that you can’t hurt yourself, and she can even come to bed with you if you really don’t want to part with her.

For the unicorn’s head, I used fluffy yarn together with a thin cotton yarn. This makes it easier to see the stitches in the fluffy yarn. But you can also crochet the head with regular yarn. Cotton yarn was used for the mane and bridle.

These cute door guards will bring your children (or your husband for his home office) lots of joy. After all, they keep a close eye on who is allowed into the room—and who isn’t.

Both—the little bear and the owl—are easy to crochet from leftover yarn and are a really lovely project for beginners with the usual basic skills. Of course, you can also let your creativity run free here, as a few customers have already shown me.

Note: Both patterns are also available individually—this one is the bundle—so not everyone gets the same little guard.

These ladybugs are the eye-catcher in the kitchen. They are used as oven mitts and do their job very well. :)

A lovely project for beginners with the usual basic skills, and it also makes a great gift.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and of course Valentin and Valentina want to show how much they are in love with each other. Valentin has given his bear girlfriend a lovely red heart... Romantic, isn’t it?

To make these two lovebirds, you will need the following materials:
100g cotton yarn in white, 100g cotton yarn in brown, leftover cotton yarn in red, light green, orange, yellow, black, 2 pairs of 9 mm safety eyes, stuffing, crochet hook size 3, needle for weaving in the ends

I recommend cotton yarn for making amigurumi. Cotton yarn gives a nice, clear stitch definition, and the material is sturdy and, above all, washable in case a little mishap happens.

The pattern includes many step-by-step photos that make it easier to follow. Basic crochet skills (single crochet, increases, decreases, etc. ) are required, however. If you have any questions about the pattern, I’ll be happy to help: via the message function or by email at the email address listed in the pattern.

I would like to point out that this is only the pattern and not the two finished bears.

Valentin & Valentina - crochet pattern

Rudi the unicorn and Rocky the donkey are inseparable—it was love at first sight :-) That’s why the knitting pattern for both of them is available for the price of one… we can’t possibly tear them apart, can we? Thanks to the very detailed and richly illustrated pattern, Rudi and Rocky are easy to knit even for advanced beginners. And if you’re reeeally quick, you can still finish them in time for Valentine’s Day!

Schildi
   to the pattern!

Schildi works full-time as a pincushion,

in her free time she volunteers as a cuddly toy for babies.

approx. 20 cm tall, you only need a few bits of leftover yarn!

The giraffe Glückskind is designed as a music box, but it also works wonderfully as a toy with rattle elements or as a cuddly toy. This gives you a lovely baby gift and a long-time companion for little ones.

   Go to the pattern here

Also designed as a music box is her friend, the zebra—also kept neutral, so it can be prepared as a baby gift for both girls and boys.

Go to the pattern here   

And last but not least—Rudolph, the Red Nosed moose, who also cuts a fine figure as a cuddly toy outside the Christmas season and is also big enough to contain the mechanism for a music box.

   Go to the pattern here

All patterns are suitable for ambitious beginners. I used a cotton yarn with a yardage of 125 m/50 g and worked with a size 3 crochet hook. For more information, feel free to stop by the respective patterns or my Shop .

And now have fun crocheting!

I also have a cute giraffe to offer—as a mask!



The giraffe mask is made from cardstock, fits just about any face, but can be adjusted precisely by enlarging or reducing the templates. The mask is very easy to make and is also well suited for craft beginners.

A real cuddly kitty is Carlo the Cuddle Cat.

Camel

A little bunny to cuddle......

Crocheted with single crochet stitches and chain stitches, the pattern for this little bunny is described in detail, so even crochet beginners can manage it well. 
The body is crocheted in two parts, which are crocheted together at the end. The only thing you need to sew on is the tail. 

You will need about 60 grams of yarn with a yardage of 110–125 m to achieve a height of 25–28 cm.

Dino Pauli is perfect for cuddling and playing. He’s crocheted in two parts, which are joined together at the end using a contrasting yarn. This means there are no extra pieces to sew on, and nothing can come loose while playing. So he’s the ideal stuffed animal for very young children.

You’ll need 100 grams of the main yarn and a scrap of contrasting yarn for the edging. With a yarn length of 100 m / 50 grams, my Dino Pauli reached a height of 31 cm and a length of 40 cm.

You can find the pattern for Dino Pauli here

How about an animal good-luck charm as a pendant or for your keychain?
I use Miyuki beads, which are quite small, but you can also use beads for children, for example for bead weaving. Once you get the hang of the technique, it’s actually quite easy ;)

Aren’t these two a cute little pair? They’re perfect for cuddling.
But even when knitted individually as decorations, they’re real eye-catchers! You can make the little mice standing or sitting. Both versions, as well as the matching accessories, are described in detail in the pattern.
You can find the pattern with more details here.

Now just take a look at these two lovebirds—pardon, bunnies !



Ah, isn't love wonderful! Especially in spring, spirits awaken anew and spring fever makes itself known.
That's how it is for this freshly-in-love bunny couple, Hugo and Hetti, too. They can hardly wait to sit outside undisturbed again at last and enjoy the sunshine.

And the sweet little bunnies are so easy to care for that they can be crocheted simply with the common basic stitches — so all you need is your favorite crochet yarn and a suitable crochet hook, and you're ready to get started. All the steps are explained to you in detail and step by step in the pattern.

So it's best to get started right away and crochet these pretty little bunnies for yourself.
