Star Crochet Pattern

Have fun!

But there are also pretty pot holders in the Crazypatterns shop

They’re almost too nice to use for handling hot pots and pans.

Beautiful things

Whether as a bag charm, keychain, or small gift, the Wuschelinis want to go everywhere with you—whether as a jungle animal, fresh from the farm, or from Christmas land.

The illustrated pattern is also suitable for beginners.

In addition to basic crochet skills, working with a knitting dolly is also part of the pattern. A description of the procedure is included in the pattern. An alternative without using a knitting dolly is also provided.

The Wuschelinis are also excellent for using up leftover yarn! 

Required materials:
Crochet hook size 3.00
Knitting dolly
Cotton yarn (100% cotton)
Stuffing 

For the eyes:
Googly eyes to sew on or glue on.


So grab your hook quickly and dig out the knitting dolly again.

You can find the patterns at: https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/store/ErnstWuschel 

Even beginners can knit beautiful cozy shawls. Casting on stitches, knitting knit and purl stitches, and binding off stitches—that’s all that’s needed for this shawl. The pattern includes pictures, and I’m happy to answer any questions. I hope you have lots of fun knitting the “Clouds” shawl.

Best wishes
Christa

I can hardly decide—all my patterns are beginner-friendly.

But for a quick sense of accomplishment, this snail would be just the thing.

Angelo and Angelina are very easy to crochet. The pattern is well illustrated; all you need to know is how to do single crochet, chain stitches, double crochet, treble crochet, and single crochet stitches together.
You’ll need:
a 2.5 mm crochet hook, cotton yarn (e.g. Catania) in 2 colors, eyelash yarn, self-adhesive eyes, stuffing, a darning needle, and possibly angel hair (optional).
These cheeky little fellows with their bare bottoms will be about 8–10 cm tall.

This poinsettia will bloom forever, and you can use it again next year. You can also use it to decorate gifts and packages in an original way.
All you need is cotton yarn in red and green, a small leftover amount of yellow, a size 2.5 crochet hook, and a darning needle.
The illustrated pattern is very easy and simple to follow.

Absolutely suitable for beginners is this great hat!
With a size 10 crochet hook, it crochets up quickly, and even though only single crochet and half double crochet stitches are used, the pattern looks fantastic!
With detailed instructions, lots of pictures and tutorials, plus tips for pompoms and using reflective yarn!

The Christmas trees are easy to crochet… and pretty quick, too. You can decorate them however you like—with beads and/or ribbons—so you can quickly create a Christmas tree.

It also involves a little sawing and drilling… but that shouldn’t put you off. For me, things like that always turn out crooked, but the overall result is still nice.

These cats are also quick to crochet. If you use variegated yarn, you can skip working out the colors...

I'd like to draw your attention to 2 of my patterns:
for knitters, I've designed a "Läppchen pullover"
and for those interested in Tunisian crochet, a striking jacket, model "Bea".
Both patterns are very well suited for beginners... even if they don't necessarily look like it!
Take a look!
Have fun,
best regards,
Angela

This poncho attracts admiring glances with its sophisticated look. And yet it is child’s play to knit – using nothing but knit stitches. Over 13 pages, I describe and show you step by step how it works. You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to knit and how great it looks when worn.

This clever scarf collar is super easy to knit. It is knitted using only knit stitches, has 3 buttonholes and 1 button. You can button it in different ways, giving it a different look every time. Feel free to take a look at my photos. And the best part is: the pattern is free :-)

A potholder can also become a challenge.

But not a headband made from my pattern. Child’s play, super pretty, and wonderfully warm and cozy.

Oops, and here’s the image for the post above:

Interested in crocheting with beads?
No problem—we have a wonderfully detailed beginner’s course with plenty of detailed photos for crocheted beads. It’s the ultimate challenge among crochet techniques.

But for the beading enthusiasts among you, we also offer a great beginner’s course on peyote balls, for example. This one has already been sold over 20 times!

But knitting fans won’t be left out either.
We have a richly illustrated beginner’s course for toe-up socks—that is, socks knitted from the toe up to the cuff.

We look forward to having you join us, and of course, we’ll be happy to offer advice and support even after you’ve purchased the pattern if you have any questions!
 

Perfect for beginners—that’s my new design: the “Sam” loop scarf.

The loop scarf is knitted in rounds using almost exclusively knit stitches. It can be made with many different types of yarn. The pattern includes many examples and very detailed instructions.
Both beginners and experienced knitters will be able to create a great eye-catcher and trusty companion with this pattern. It also makes a great Christmas gift. :-)

The Loop Sam makes quite an impression

For those who want to crochet something that’s not only simple but also practical and beautiful, my poncho is perfect. And the great thing about it is that it can also be worn as a skirt.
It’s very easy to crochet—just the same rows back and forth. More details in the pattern.

@sundown... Thank you. ☺

A poncho or skirt like the one shown in the post above is very impressive for a beginner
