Bully, the elephant at the beach, is enjoying the summer temperatures. He can play with his little sailboat by the water, and when it gets too hot for him, he takes a cool dip. Since he’s wearing his swim ring, nothing can go wrong.
Bully was crocheted with plush yarn, which makes him very soft and cuddly. But you can just as easily make him with cotton yarn. Using the suggested yarn, he’ll be about 22 cm tall.

The
“Fish” dish sponge isn’t just decorative in your kitchen—it’s also very practical. Its slightly rough surface effortlessly removes dried-on food residue. Afterward, it can go straight into the washing machine, where it can withstand temperatures up to 60° without any damage. Then it’s hygienically clean again and might even be used as a massage sponge in the bathroom this time.

And here’s another sea creature, this time purely for decoration:
Oskar the octopus! I crocheted him from leftover 4-ply yarn cake, but you can use any yarn you like. Oskar feels right at home in a nautical-themed decor, as you can tell from his contented smile.
