To recreate this
beach chair, you’ll need a cardboard box (preferably with a square base), cotton yarn, a 2.0 mm crochet hook, hot glue, scissors, and some foam rubber or craft batting. The basket is crocheted using the moss stitch (single crochet and chain stitches), and the inner section is worked in single crochet. You can make the basket any size you like; it just depends on the size of your box. A small one can be used as a decoration in a nautical door wreath, while a large one can even hold little dolls.

For the
mermaid Marina, I used acrylic yarn from Rico (Baby Glitz and Baby Classic) as well as mohair yarn for the hair. Marina’s upper body is crocheted with single crochet stitches, and her fishtail is crocheted with a bobble stitch pattern. The mermaid measures about 40 cm when stretched out.

I made the
cuddly bunny Hoppel using three different types of yarn: the head, paws, and tail are made of chenille yarn, while the rest of the body is made of plush yarn and cotton. This creates a very special texture that encourages babies in particular to explore the stuffed animal through touch. This stimulates the imagination and keeps the child occupied for a while.
