Here I’m introducing you to a few crocheted animals from my Animal Collection . Maybe you’ll feel like making one of them yourself.


The otter is the Animal of the Year 2021. Of course, Otti the Otter  had to be part of my collection. He has caught a big fish and is already looking forward to his feast. Otti is crocheted from cotton yarn. I only used plush cuddly yarn for the snout and the chest patch. That makes Otti especially cute.


Oskar the Octopus   was made from a leftover gradient yarn cake. But he can just as easily be made with cotton or any other yarn. I worked a little bending wire into the tentacles. Oskar fits wonderfully into any maritime decoration.


A teddy bear is always a good idea. Herzibär is especially “heartfelt”: he has heart-shaped eyes, a sweet little snout, cute paws and ears, and around his neck he wears a scarf with a heart pattern. Herzibär is crocheted from pink cuddly yarn. So that the stitches can still be seen while crocheting, a thin cotton thread is crocheted along with it at the same time.

You can crochet these animal designs as a cuddle cloth, washcloth, dishcloth, or potholder. All three designs are worked using the tapestry crochet technique. The color not currently needed is crocheted in, so the reverse side looks nice, too. This technique is very simple and is explained in detail in all the patterns.

If you prefer knitting, you’ll find all the designs shown here as double-face knitting patterns in my shop.

The Schneckenkind shop has lots of animals & amigurumi.
Here is a small selection ...




Owl Fleur & the two enchanting Hippos Hazel and George are part of the classic line.
They are a little rounder, very cuddly, and quick to crochet.




Lotta Bear is one of the animals crocheted with clothing that can be put on and taken off.

All crochet patterns are very detailed, always described step by step, and include numerous detailed photos ♥

With this crocheted dino, there are no small parts to sew together. It is crocheted from a front and back piece, which are joined at the end with a round of single crochet stitches.
