Dear users, dear authors,

Shop now and get started right away.

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

Hanny the Bee is brand new in my shop. Her honeycomb has room for a little (Easter?) surprise. Sometimes she even sits inside it herself when she wants to take a break from all that pollinating.

Hanny is 18 cm tall. Her body is crocheted from cozy teddy yarn. This isn’t hard at all because a contrasting thread is crocheted along with it, making it easy to see the stitches. However, you can barely see the thread by the end. (If you’d rather not crochet with teddy yarn, just use regular yarn of the same thickness.)

Another very hardworking animal is Poldi the mole, proud title holder of "Animal of the Year 2020"!
He is already eagerly digging his underground tunnels for his home. But if you bring him home with you, he’ll leave your garden alone! So crochet him quickly and give him a home with you!

The Poldi in the picture on the left was crocheted with cuddly chenille yarn, and the one in the picture on the right with cotton yarn. They are both cute, aren’t they?

Such a proud peacock!

Percy the peacock is not hard to crochet at all, yet he still looks very decorative. Percy is 30 cm long and 20 cm tall and has a magnificently colorful tail made up entirely of individually crocheted peacock eyes. To make it look nice and feathery, the last round is crocheted with eyelash yarn. Otherwise, cotton yarn with a yardage of 125 m / 50 g was used.

Here is the crochet pattern for Peacock Percy!

The bright yellow duck made from fluffy sponge yarn is quick and easy to crochet and can then be used for bathing, showering, or washing dishes:



Also suitable for beginners with a little experience.

You can find the crochet pattern for the duck here

The sleeping owl is also a lovely, practical sponge for showering and bathing, and it’s easy to crochet too.



Suitable for ambitious beginners with a little practice.

Right now, everyone is at home, and it’s quite common for everyone to want some peace and quiet in their own room. That’s where a fun little door guard comes in handy, because it clearly shows whether entry is welcome — like a traffic light. Children especially love it.

Both door guards — the owl and the bear — are very easy to make. You can even use leftover yarn.

Who doesn’t love cuddly, fluffy birds! 
Pips Fussel is such a crazy little fluffball with big, round eyes.
He loves doing absolutely nothing and just sits around all day watching what’s going on around him. ;)

Great Spring Decor for Your Table or Door

Chicks in Distress

That poor chick has fallen out of the nest! The agitated hen uses the astonished worm as a rescue rope and tries to pull her chick back up! 

This wreath is a fun and original decoration for spring and Easter! It is suitable as a table or mantel decoration, or alternatively can also be used as a door wreath! 
The crochet pattern is very detailed and illustrated. Made from lightweight acrylic yarn.

Crochet Pattern for a Cute Bunny

This little bunny is crocheted in two parts, which are joined together at the end with a round of single crochet stitches. All you have to do is sew on the little stubby tail.



Crochet Pattern for Dino Pauli

Pauli is crocheted in two parts, which are joined together at the end with a round of single crochet stitches. With a yarn length of 100 m and a size 3.5 hook, Pauli turned out 31 cm tall and 40 cm long for me. 

1) The cuddly chickens "Berta and Gundel" look great on an Easter branch, door wreath, window, etc., but the two are also eye-catchers as bag charms or keychains.
Here’s the pattern




2) Cheerfully colorful Easter decorations – bunny with nest, egg cup, tealight holder
Crocheted with the double stitch and with single crochet stitches.

Here’s the pattern



3) "Sweet Little Chicks" - The chickens’ bodies are made of double stitches, which makes them wonderfully suitable for embroidering.
Here’s the pattern

More?

This cat is only a few days old and can be crocheted very easily using single crochet stitches.
Finally, sew on the separately crocheted ears and tail—and you can look forward to a new, low-maintenance companion.



Difficulty level: very easy, suitable

for beginners with a little practice. You can find the crochet pattern for the cat here

Just added to my shop is the pattern for Amadeus the Ant



You can crochet Amadeus using just 2 skeins of Schachenmayr Catania, and he’ll measure about 29 cm when made with a 3mm crochet hook—a rather impressive ant, indeed.

Amadeus is perfect for riding around in a doll stroller and loves to cuddle and play.
