This little koala brings joy to everyone. Even without a rattle or crinkle effect :) He is simply adorable to look at, and you just have to love him.
In a step-by-step pattern, I explain how to make this cute little bear :) Many photos also support the pattern.
The pattern is perfect for beginners!
What you need:
Gründl Happy (100 g = 250 m yardage)
  • Light gray (approx. 150 g), a little dark gray and a little black.
  • Cuddly yarn in white (approx. 20–30 g) and two safety eyes
  • Plus plenty of crinkle foil, a larger Kinder Surprise egg filled with rice.
  • Hook size 4, yarn needle, and scissors
What you need to know:
  • MR = Magic Ring
  • M = stitch
  • FM = single crochet
  • Lm = chain stitch
  • zusm. = together
  • verdp. = increase stitch
If you have any questions, I’m happy to help

I have a lot of beginner patterns because I want to build up a foundation that my customers can grow with.

A very nice example are the two simple but effective ponchos Asteria and Harlekin.

   

Asteria is knitted, and Harlekin is crocheted.

The following skills are needed for Asteria:
knit and purl stitches, kfb increase, decreases, casting on stitches

The following skills are needed for Harlekin:
chain stitches, slip stitches, single crochet, double crochet, crocheting stitches together

I have a great pattern for crochet beginners here:

Crochet Pattern Shawl Rosa Wölkchen

This super beautiful shawl is crocheted from side to side. A detailed photo tutorial and detailed row-by-row instructions, as well as professionally created charts, guarantee a great crochet experience with a beautiful result.

You can make the shawl in many different yarns, whether it’s designer yarn or sock yarn—there are no limits to your own creativity. Even leftover yarn can be used wonderfully with this design.
No special crochet skills are needed for the shawl, but basic knowledge should be present (chain stitches, single crochet, double crochet, crocheting stitches together).

Materials:

  • approx. 600–800 meters of yarn (depending on yardage)
  • Crochet hook in the appropriate size (if you crochet very tightly, it’s better to choose a hook one size larger)
  • Kitchen scale or other digital scale to determine half of the amount used
  • Needle for weaving in the ends
The size of the finished shawl is approx. 200 x 90 cm.

Get the great pattern now and start crocheting today! Until the end of November you can even save up to 35%!☺

These folding boxes are perfect beginner projects for anyone who would like to learn crafting: The boxes are cut out in straight lines and glued in just one spot—it hardly gets any easier than that.
 


What’s especially nice about them: the boxes can be made in advance, stored folded flat, set up when needed, and decorated according to the occasion and your own taste—there are a few decorating suggestions in the product photos. The 10 boxes come in different sizes: the shortest edge is 3 cm, and the longest is 8 cm long.

This teddy bear made from fluffy yarn is child’s play to crochet. And thanks to a size 5 crochet hook, it’s finished in no time.
You’ll need fluffy yarn (myboshi Flausch), a size 5 crochet hook, stuffing, and safety eyes.
You should know how to do single crochet, crochet stitches together, and slip stitches.

The Lina baby blanket consists only of knit and purl stitches and is quick to make.
You can use any type of yarn.
I used a 4-ply merino blend with 75% wool and 25% poly, so it can be machine-washed without any problems.
The pattern includes a chart.
I used 2 skeins of 100g each, 420m per skein.

Here is an easy pattern for beginners, since only chain stitches, single crochet, and slip stitches are needed.
The little octopuses are ideal as daily companions on bags as bag charms or as keychains, to quickly put an end to the annoying search for your keys in your bag or basket.

You only need a few bits of leftover yarn and a size 2.5 crochet hook, and you’re ready to get started.
I crocheted around a Kinder Surprise egg here, but the octopus can also be filled with stuffing.

Here is the pattern:
