Dear users, dear authors,
here you’ll find new and tried-and-true toy highlights.
Have fun making them.

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

Tri-tra-tra-la-la, Punch is here!

Hand puppets are always a wonderful idea! Children are fascinated again and again by how the puppets come to life. The little ones follow the puppet show with excitement, and the older ones start making up their own little plays. This encourages creativity and imagination in a unique way.

And hand-crocheted hand puppets are, of course, something very special. They are lighter than the usual wooden figures, making them easier for children to handle. Plus, everyone can add their own personal ideas while crocheting, creating completely individual figures that no one else has.

In my shop you’ll find numerous patterns for crocheted hand puppets:

Basic Set Bundle
Here you get the patterns for 6 puppets that already let you perform lots of Punch and Judy plays: Punch, Judy and Seppel, the Grandmother, the Robber, and the Crocodile.

Royal Family Bundle
The “Royal Family” bundle is a great addition. Here you get 3 hand puppets for the price of two: King, Princess, and Prince.

Of course, this ensemble can be expanded as much as you like. Take a look in my shop:

Here you’ll also find patterns for many different characters such as Wizard, Witch, Devil, Police Officer...

For little (and big) doll moms, doll clothes are simply the best. Especially when their little darling looks just as cute in them as a real baby. The clothing shown here fits all dolls measuring approx. 45–50 cm, including Baby Born. Even tiny newborns or preemies can fit into them, so these are “real baby clothes.”

It’s best to knit several designs right away and give them as Christmas gifts—maybe even together with a matching baby doll. Everything is easy to knit, provided you have basic knitting skills.

Crochet Pattern for Dino Pauli

Depending on the yarn weight and hook size, Pauli will be 31 cm tall and about 40 cm long.
You’ll crochet two pieces, which are then joined together at the end with a round of single crochet stitches. 



The little bunny is also crocheted with a front and back piece that are joined together at the end. Only the little tail needs to be sewn on.

Would you like to make a toy yourself? Why not try this jumping jack owl !

Everyone probably knows the basic steps—cutting, gluing, and tying knots—needed to make this owl. What’s required here, in addition, is the ability to work precisely, some crafting experience, and a basic understanding of the process.



The owl is made from photo cardstock and measures approximately 22.5 x 27.5 cm. The layers of photo cardstock glued on top of each other—as dictated by the pattern—give it the necessary stability.
