Shady is a big, cuddly stuffed dog.
With his loyal doggy eyes, he’s simply impossible not to love.
Thanks to his impressive size, everyone loves cuddling with him, whether young or old.
He is crocheted using yarn for a 3.5–4.5 mm crochet hook. I used the following yarn:
Easy by Elisa. But Bravo by Schachenmayr works very well too.
You’ll need about 250 g in light brown, about 150 g in dark brown, and scraps in black and white.
For the pupils, you’ll need a scrap of black felt, as well as stuffing, a crochet hook, and a sewing and embroidery needle

If you crochet Shady with a size 3.5 crochet hook and matching yarn, he will reach an impressive length of 45 cm, measured without the tail.

The pattern and more pictures of Shady are available here: https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/7109/haekelanleitung-shady-der-hund

Carola from RolisWollis hopes you enjoy cuddling with Shady.

And here there is another animal in an XXL format.
Elfi the Elephant. With her big eyes, she always spreads good cheer.
Elfi loves nothing more than being cuddled :)
So grab your crochet hook and off you go into a great big cuddly adventure.
I crocheted Elfi with the following yarn: Easy by Elisa, but Elfi also turns out well with Bravo by Schachenmayr.
You need about 250 g in lilac, about 150 g in purple, and a small amount in white. You’ll also need 3–4 pipe cleaners for the trunk (the color doesn’t matter; they should be about 30 cm long). You’ll also need size 3.5 and 2.5 crochet hooks, stuffing, black felt (a small piece), and an embroidery/sewing needle.

If you crochet Elfi with a size 3.5 crochet hook and matching yarn, she will be a full 38 cm long.

The pattern and more pictures of Elfi are available here: https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/7100/elfi-der-elefant-xxl-haekelanleitung

Carola from RolisWollis hopes you enjoy Elfi, and if you feel like it, have a look at my other patterns too, I have lots more cute little animals :)

This is Lola the cat.
I think she’s not your typical cat as we usually know them, right?

But I think she’s absolutely adorable. The nice thing is that you can move her arms and legs easily, since they are attached with buttons.

She is approx. 22 cm tall standing and approx. 15 cm tall sitting.

What materials do you need
- Yarn (cream, green, and a little black)
- 2.5 mm crochet hook
- Stuffing
- Sewing needle
- 4 small buttons 
- Safety eyes (cat eyes)


Here you can go straight to the pattern.

Have fun!

Whether as a bag charm, keychain, or small gift, the Wuschelinis want to be part of everything—whether as jungle animals, fresh from the farm, or from Christmas land. The illustrated pattern is also suitable for beginners. In addition to basic crochet skills, part of the pattern also involves working with a knitting spool. A description of the process is included in the pattern. An alternative without using a knitting spool is also provided.

The Wuschelinis are also excellent for using up leftover yarn! Required materials: crochet hook size 3.00
knitting spool cotton yarn (100% cotton) stuffing For the eyes: wiggle eyes to sew on or glue on.


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

I have several cute little animals in bright colors in my shop. Of course, you can choose the colors however you like. :)
Here is one of my favorites, which is always well received: the elephant with suspenders.

Thanks to the richly illustrated pattern, he is very quick and easy to make. Even the position of the eyes is specified stitch by stitch.

With 8-ply cotton yarn and a 3 mm crochet hook, he will be about 21.5 cm tall, including the ears.

And you can find him here:

I hope you have lots of fun making him! :)

This cat keeps the doors open for you! :)

Filled with gravel, it makes a great doorstop; if you stuff it softly instead, it becomes a lovely cuddly toy.

The practical handle makes it easy to move around. For the cuddly toy version, it can of course be left off.

The pattern is very detailed and includes many pictures. This makes the cat easy for beginners to crochet too.

With 8-ply cotton yarn and a 3 mm crochet hook, the cat will be 22 cm tall (without ears).

You can find the cat here:

Have fun crocheting it! :)

Quite small and very animal-like!!!
These geckos look so lifelike! You’d think they’re about to dart off—the best way to keep them in check is to sew them on wherever you want them :-))
They’re only about 10 cm long.
https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/7241/e-book-haekelanleitung-gekkosHello, my name is Paulinchen! :-))
My biggest wish is to be crocheted by you and to find a new home with you.
I also promise, with all my heart, not to get into any trouble. I’m 19 cm tall and love to lounge on your couch or in a flowerpot—actually, I like all kinds of places and prefer to be with company, as you can see in the photo.

Little Garden Helper
https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/7814/haekelanleitung-maulwurf

Let me introduce you to a little mole. Every day he busily digs around in your garden, but when he comes inside all dirty after a hard day’s work and stares at you with that guilty look, you just can’t stay mad at him. Besides, he’s even brought a little flower as an apology.



For this little fellow, you’ll need:
- a 2.0 mm crochet hook
- Schachenmayr Catania in black and scraps of green, orange, white, yellow, and soft apricot
- a small piece of pipe cleaner
- stuffing, scissors, a needle, and a stitch marker

He is 15 cm tall and suitable for anyone who can crochet in spiral rounds and rows. If you’ve also mastered double crochet and the "popcorn stitch," you should get along well with this pattern.

Simba the lion comes from hot Africa and is looking for a new home.
You can crochet him with any type of yarn—the thickness of the yarn determines his size. Using pot holder yarn, he’ll be about 27 cm tall (when standing). He’s both a cuddly toy and a protector—your kids will love him!

I didn’t write the pattern for the little horse “Samy”
just for horse lovers. It’s very tame and loves being fed carrots. Using “Lisa” yarn from Gründl, the little horse will be about 17 cm tall (when sitting), but you can also crochet it with potholder yarn or Catania cotton yarn—it will be smaller that way.

lots of detailed photos in the step-by-step pattern will help you ♥
Using cotton yarn (125 g per 50 m—e.g., Catania) and a size 2.5 hook, he’ll be
a good 30 cm tall and ready for cuddles :-)

I have a turtle in the Christmas spirit to share.

https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/3635/weihnachtliche-schildkroete-haekelanleitung

The turtle is easy to make.
Using the yarn I used (Catania), it’s 15 cm long.

If you’re not in the mood for Christmas, just crochet it and move right on to Easter… I’ve got a cute, cuddly, and cheerful bunny for you.

https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/5929/hase-mit-der-rosa-nase

It’s quite a bit bigger and, when crocheted with Catania yarn, measures 39 cm in length.

If you’re not in the mood for Christmas, you can crochet it up and move right on to Easter ... I can offer a nice, cuddly-cheerful bunny for that.

I’d like to introduce you to Gertrud, the giraffe. She’s a little shy, but once she gets to know you, you’ll have a friend for life.

Busy Little Bee
Just posted, but I’d still like to introduce her to you:
For anyone who can crochet in spiral rounds, as well as handle color changes and double crochets, she shouldn’t be a problem. She’s about 19 cm tall when sitting and about 25 cm tall when standing.
But be careful: If you tease her, she’ll defend herself with her stinger ;)

Materials: 1) Yarn and a crochet hook, of course. I used Schachenmayr Catania—1 skein of “Sonne” and a larger scrap of black, plus scraps of red, green, yellow, silver, and white—and a size 2.0 crochet hook. 2) 2 black 8 mm eyes. 3) Stuffing and the usual supplies, such as scissors, a needle, and stitch markers.
