Practical and good for the environment - an eye-catcher both in everyday life and on vacation. The bags can be used in many ways - whether for daily shopping, as a beach bag, as an everyday companion, or as a shopper. Also a wonderful gift.

Of course, you can mix and match the motifs and strap options, for example, make a bag with a heart motif and long straps, or make the bag with the word "Love" as a shopping net with short handles.

You’ll receive a detailed 46-page pattern with plenty of photos to help you make it yourself.
The doll is approximately 36 cm tall.
The PDF includes the pattern for the doll, the sweater, the pants, the shoes, the bath towel, and the duck.

He loves the sea too and especially enjoys playing by the water: Bully, the little elephant. Since he isn’t a very good swimmer yet, his mom gives him a swim ring whenever he wants to play by the water with his little sailboat.
Bully can be crocheted using teddy wool or acrylic yarn. His hat, the swim ring, and the boat are made of cotton yarn.
