Dive into the age of dinosaurs and crochet this lifelike Brachiosaurus for yourself now. This herbivore is a
peaceful fellow and is a MUST for every dino fan. You can find more dinos in my shop, also as a value set.

Size:Using the specified yarn and hook size, the dinosaur has an impressive
length of approx. 88 cm and a height of approx. 30 cm. With a larger
hook size and thicker yarn, it will of course turn out correspondingly larger.

You can crochet this great bag right away. It does take a bit more time and is made up of several patterns, but you can do it.
The result is definitely worth the effort.

If you like, you can also combine other beautiful colors. This will make your crocheted bag look fresh and colorful for the coming spring days too. 
This lovely colorful bag would be an eye-catcher for children as well.

A little more challenging and not necessarily suitable for beginners is Lotta the Snow Girl.

However, you’ll receive a thorough and detailed pattern with lots of photos to crochet along with, and the fun factor doesn’t come up short either.

So take a look here.

Are there any more challenges?

The Owl Mochila is already a challenge because of the number of colors and strands carried along.

It is crocheted using the tapestry crochet technique.
