Have fun crocheting!

Baby’s first cuddly toy will be a bunny!
Hoppel the bunny is very easy to crochet. He is made from three different yarns that all feel quite different and encourage the baby to touch and explore: soft chenille yarn for the head, ears, tail, and paws, plush cuddly yarn  and cotton yarn for the body. The body is not stuffed with stuffing so the baby can grasp it better (like a cuddly blanket). The eyes are, of course, embroidered.

Seahorse Hippy is so cute and very easy to crochet!

If you crochet it with sock yarn with a soft color gradient, it looks especially beautiful. I used "Moonlight" by Bumbo. The yarn has a metallic shiny thread running through it, which makes the colors shimmer especially beautifully. For the crest, I used some leftover sponge yarn (Creative Bubble by Rico). Hippy will be about 24 cm tall and is suitable both as a decoration and as a cuddly toy.

The black cat stands out for its simplicity and its big, mysterious eyes. It makes a great decoration for cat lovers, but is also perfect as a stuffed animal. Using the specified yarn (Catania by Schachenmayr), it measures about 25 x 30 cm (without the tail). If you crochet it with thicker yarn than specified, you can even use it as a small pillow.
The pattern includes a chart to follow while crocheting.

How about these two cute little animals as door guards? They are especially popular with children, who usually aren’t allowed to lock their doors. These two make sure that no one comes in uninvited.

Both—the owl and the little bear—are easy to crochet. All steps are explained clearly. Basic knowledge is recommended.

Note: Both are also available individually in my shop.

Every child needs a cuddly little bear. It’s something truly special when Grandma or Mom knitted it herself. Even beginners (with basic skills) can easily knit this one too. Every step is explained.

Note: My shop also has matching clothes for this baby bear.

Animals in the kitchen? These two ladybugs not only look very decorative, but they also do a really great job. And they make great gifts, too.

Very easy to crochet and well-suited for beginners with basic skills.

Pauli is a large dino with an impressive size of approx. 31 cm tall and 40 cm long when made with a cotton yarn with a yardage of 100 m / 50 grams.

Pauli is crocheted in two parts, which are crocheted together at the end with one round of single crochet, so nothing needs to be sewn together.

This little bunny makes a great gift—not just for Easter. It’s perfect for cuddling, and its ears are long enough for little hands to hold onto.

Crocheted with a cotton yarn with a yardage of 125 m (e.g. Catania), the bunny measures about 25 cm.

You’ll crochet two separate pieces, which are then joined together at the end with a round of single crochet stitches. There are no small parts to sew on, so little ones can’t swallow anything.
