@Authors,

The 2021 Wild Animal of the Year is the otter.

That’s why I crocheted Otti the otter for you. Maybe you’d like to crochet him too? It’s not hard at all and can be done with leftover yarn.

I used the following:

• approx. 50 g cotton yarn (Catania by Schachenmayr or similar, yardage 125 m / 50 g) in brown
• leftover fluffy yarn (Rico Baby Teddy Aran ll 135 m / 50 g) in white
• leftover black yarn for embroidering the nose and claws
• leftover sock yarn for the fish (Moonlight Bumbo yardage 462 m / 100 g)
• 2.5 mm crochet hook
• 2.0 mm crochet hook
• craft stuffing
• 2 black half pearls, diameter 9 mm
• 2 googly eyes, diameter 7 mm
• sturdy black thread for the whiskers and the fishing line
• 1 shashlik skewer
• glue

And if you’d like to crochet the 2020 Animal of the Year: Voilà, here is Poldi, the mole. I think a mole is a pretty fitting animal for last year, because it really was a year that made you want to hide underground!

To crochet Poldi, you’ll need:

• approx. 25 g Catania cotton yarn in black (yardage 125 m / 50 g)
• leftover Catania cotton yarn in skin color (= soft apricot) (yardage 125 m / 50 g)
• 2.5 mm crochet hook
• polyester stuffing for filling
• 1 pair of googly eyes (diameter approx. 6 mm)
• craft glue
• 1 pair of doll glasses, width 35 mm (hole size approx. 13 mm)

Hopefully the coming year will be better. For that, we wish ourselves and everyone good luck, so we’re crocheting Felix the Lucky Piglet as a lucky charm. He has put on his chimney sweep outfit, tucked a four-leaf clover into his hat, and is now offering you a horseshoe and a lucky mushroom. Well, if that doesn’t bring good luck!

To crochet Felix, you’ll need:

• leftover cotton yarn (Catania by Schachenmayr or similar, yardage 125 m / 50 g) in the colors soft apricot (= skin), black, green, red, white

• 2.5 mm crochet hook
• craft stuffing
• 2 black half pearls, diameter 7 mm
• glue

The new year is starting again with wonderful patterns.

So now Emely the little lamb has hopped off the hook.
Whether for Valentine’s Day as a pair with little hearts 
or for Easter. 
This pattern is super quick and easy to make



Last year, the cute ponies moved into my shop.
They are also easy for beginners to make.



Or how about a wonderful dragon
Here you can find Fridolin the dragon.
He can also be made beautifully in your own choice of colors.



Do stop by and take a look. I’d be absolutely delighted :)
Best wishes

These two cute little animals have a very special job. They guard the door and show whether visitors are welcome or not. Ideal for the home office, bathroom, restroom, and children's room. After all, those rooms usually shouldn't be locked. So these two little fellows are the perfect solution.

Both—the door guard bear and the door guard owl—are very easy to crochet using leftover yarn. 

Both patterns are available individually or as a bundle.

The bright yellow duck, whose relatives have lived for decades in the most famous men’s shared apartment in the world, not only looks fantastic and adds a cheerful, colorful accent to your home: It’s also very easy to crochet, even for beginners, and can be used as a handy sponge for bathing and showering or for washing dishes.

And the sleeping owl is also a useful sponge for showering and bathing or washing dishes.

Ambitious beginners with a little practice can also crochet the sleeping owl as a sponge or as a pretty decoration.

Here you’ll find the pattern for the super-cute bunny Fienchen! 



Fienchen melts every heart and is also super easy and quick to crochet!

Have fun crocheting!
Wishing you all the best, Lillili

Dress-up doll Toni has gotten ready with the January outfit pattern to go sledding once or twice (or more?) this January.
Oh, how I’d love to be this little doll myself and make snow angels in the snow :)

Animals are great for cuddling for young and old. They’re also nice to use as decorations

The fish and the mermaid can also be used as bag charms and for key rings.

The animals are so cute. I’m especially taken with the otter. That’s going to be my next project!

How about a cuddly llama? Lloyd will be about 30 cm tall and, despite the fluffy yarn, not at all difficult to crochet ...




Also very popular are Paul and Paulina - the two cute ponies ♥
They too, crocheted with cotton yarn, grow to about 30 cm tall (without ears).
