@Authors,
2–3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget links, images, information, etc.

Two special little animals are waiting to guard a bedroom door at your place. It’s sure to be a very happy surprise when you give it to your children or grandchildren. They love their privacy more than anything—at least sometimes! ;-)

Both door guardians—the little bear and the clever owl—are very easy to crochet. Leftover yarn is enough for them. There’s still plenty of time to finish them before Christmas.

Here’s the crochet pattern for the door guardian owl



Here’s the crochet pattern for the door guardian little bear



Note: There is also a value set with both door guardians.

You can never have enough cuddly toys—at least that’s what kids think! Because all children love cuddly toys. And when it’s a handmade animal from Mom, Grandma, or their favorite aunt, that’s something really special!
I have a few suggestions for you here:
Cuddly Bunny Hoppel as a boy or girl
This cuddly bunny is especially suitable as a very first cuddly toy. It is crocheted from three kinds of yarn. The body is not stuffed, so the baby can hold the bunny like a comfort blanket.

Alpaca Pamina
The alpaca is crocheted from soft cuddly yarn. To make the stitches easier to see while crocheting, a carry-along yarn in the same color is crocheted along with it. Afterwards, you can’t see the stitches at all anymore, so the animal looks like a plush toy.

 Bully, the Elephant at the Beach
Here, too, I would preferably recommend plush yarn. This makes Bully especially cuddly and soft. But you can also use acrylic yarn or merino wool and brush it up a little afterwards.

The sleeping owl is a decorative and practical little bath sponge at the same time, and it also makes a lovely gift, for example with a nice scented shower gel.

Skills needed: If you can do single crochet, half double crochet, treble crochet, and close a seam with slip stitches, this little sleeping owl is very easy to make.

The pattern is very detailed and includes lots of photos for every step, making crocheting and finishing it very easy.

A cute little bunny is always a hit, right? Perfect for hugging and cuddling—now with a 25% discount! And remember, Easter comes fairly soon after Christmas ;)

Crochet in spiral rounds using single crochet stitches with Sheepjes Catona or Schachenmayr Catania and a size 2.5 crochet hook.

What are you waiting for? :)

These two bath sponges/shower sponges are crocheted using the amigurumi crochet technique with single crochet stitches in spiral rounds, and are easy for beginners with a little practice to make. Of course, you can also use the duck and the dog as dish sponges.

Both are also original little gifts and pretty small presents to bring along.

Rudolph - The Red-Nosed Moose would love to add to your Christmas decorations or delight little ones as a long-time companion. 

   Here’s the pattern

The striped zebra would also love to delight little ones, and its design is neutral, so you can crochet it as a baby gift for both boys and girls.

   Here’s the pattern

And then there is Mathilde the Unicorn - in bright, colorful shades of your choice, she’s a great way to use up leftover yarn.

Here’s the pattern   

All the figures are also large enough to hold a music box mechanism for a music box, or they can be filled with various rattle elements and crinkle foil.

Have fun crocheting!

Tom the Rabbit is already a little classic ♥

He represents many of the amigurumi animals in my shop that grow to about 30 cm tall and have clothes that can be put on and taken off (pants, a dress, or a skirt).
The crochet patterns are always very detailed, with lots of step-by-step photos and tips, and suitable even for beginners.





Teddy Björn represents the chubby classics. A teddy bear just the way you’d want him ♥
Crocheted with slightly thicker yarn, he turns out nice and fluffy.

The cat with her tilted little head gives the term "cat wash" a whole new, much nicer meaning, because crocheted from scrubby yarn, she is a small wash pad for facial cleansing.
Of course, you can also crochet the cat from a different yarn as an appliqué for your favorite bag, hat, or other garments.

The pattern is suitable for advanced crocheters and includes written instructions, the crochet chart, and lots of photos.



You can find the Cat Wash Pads here


There is also a lovely and easy-to-crochet wash pad for all dog lovers, which is also suitable as an appliqué.

Crochet techniques used: magic ring, slip stitches, chain stitches, half double crochets, double crochets.
The PDF pattern is also well suited for crochet beginners and contains detailed instructions, crochet charts, and many detailed step-by-step photos.



You can find the Dog Wash Pads here

In my shop, almost everything revolves around knitted cuddly animals – there’s a unicorn and a billy goat, a funny bird fluttering around, but you’ll also find Amani the giraffe and Nelson the lion, and many more.
Schaut doch einfach mal vorbei: KLICK!

A cuddly friend for your children:

Duck Theo

All you need is one ball of yarn (e.g., Catania) in the main color and a little orange, plus a small leftover bit of black, and you're ready to go.

Theo is also suitable for beginners.



I hope you have lots of fun crocheting, and here is the pattern

I love mice and rats!! And especially when they’re as smart as these specimens!!!

The Clever Rat Naseweiss

Naseweiss is the smartest rat in the world!
She always has her nose in books and simply knows almost everything.

      


The Cheeky Fridge Mice

The little mice are a wonderful decoration and, thanks to a small magnet, they even stay on the fridge.
