Money Donkey Moneyshit 


Everyone wants a donkey that can shit money....... Inspired by the fairy tale “The Wishing Table,” in which the gold donkey appeared, I’ve now crocheted a money donkey. Because this donkey can not only eat money, as shown in the picture here, but when it lifts its tail, loose change also falls out of its behind. This is a great way to give a loved one a truly original cash gift. Moneyshit measures 27 cm at the shoulder (44 cm from the tip of the ear to the hoof) and is 50 cm long. Of course, you can see a few more pictures of him here, and there’s also a short video to go with it. What you need:

• Gründl Lisa yarn (gray – approx. 300 gr. -)
• Some light gray, black, red, white, yellow (Happy by Gründl),
• Stuffing, Tic Tac box
• A little superglue
• Tape
• Two large safety eyes
• 3.5 mm crochet hook, yarn needle, and scissors

Most parts are worked in spiral rounds and joined together later. What you need to know:

• MR = magic ring
• M = stitch
• FM = single crochet
• Lm = chain stitch
• hStb = half double crochet
• zusm. = together
• verdp. = increase stitch

If you still have about 40 g of crochet yarn at home, some stuffing, and a needle, then you’re all set for giraffe life. Peppi is easy to crochet and looks great in any color. Single crochet, increases, and decreases. Get started and crochet yourself a whole giraffe gang. A grinning giraffe is sure to be an eye-catcher at home ;-)

Have fun!

Do you know those people who just keep talking and talking, even though you’ve actually wanted to stop listening for a long time? Now you can show them exactly that—and quickly switch to a different, much funnier topic.

Just say “Talk to the hand” in the funniest way possible.


Here’s the pattern for the funny eyes on YOUR hand!

When it’s so gray and dreary outside, you definitely need something colorful to lift your spirits. I have just such a pattern for you: my Kunterbunt rug.

It’s the perfect rug for playing on and feeling cozy. Plus, it’s easy to care for, washable, and slip-resistant. You can choose a diameter of either 70 or 100 cm and any colors you like. Feel free to read through the introduction to the pattern carefully and let yourself be inspired to create a personalized, one-of-a-kind, colorful rug for your children and grandchildren.
I hope you have lots of fun with this colorful, cheerful project. Yours, Ina

If cats could talk, they would ask their humans to make them something really playful to play with: a felt play ball. All you need is a few scraps of felting wool, a piece of cotton yarn, and a size 3 crochet hook. The ball is simply wound, secured with household rubber bands, and felted in the washing machine. And the best part is ... the pattern is free. So, let's get started! You'll see, your little house tiger will love it.

Best wishes - Yours, Ina

Bottle Outfit in Black, Red, and Gold - crocheted


(To purchase/download, please click the image)

.. an original gift wrap for wine and sparkling wine bottles– an eye-catcher at any party.. for her, a “bottle petticoat,” and for him, a “bottle suit with bow tie” crocheted.

Leftover yarn can be used up wonderfully this way, we need only about 25 g per bottle per color, so about 75 g of a yarn for crochet hook size 2.5. For my set, I used leftover yarn from a 4-ply sock yarn for the red and black parts, and one skein of Catania (100% cotton) for the yellow parts of both bottles.
If you crochet with Catania, this part will be a little thicker, which is an advantage for the petticoat because it stands out better. Otherwise, pretty much any yarn that is not labeled for a hook size thicker than 3.0 will work.
We also need a measuring tape, scissors, a yarn needle for weaving in ends, a stitch marker is helpful (a contrasting thread works too), and of course standard wine or sparkling wine bottles.

Both patterns are included in one PDF and are illustrated in detail over 15 pages. The pattern is not a basic crochet course, but it does include a link tip for those who are not as experienced.

These crochet skills are needed: chain stitches, crocheting in rows and rounds, slip stitches, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet. Front and back post double crochet are explained and illustrated.

Who doesn’t find a clown funny?
Bimbino the clown is celebrating Valentine’s Day with Bimbolina.
The two are 51–54 cm tall when made with size 3–4 needles.

Of course, the clowns are also available individually.

They’re colorful, they’re cheerful, and they’re always in a good mood: This funny owl gang is up for any kind of fun!
They sing, they dance—and if you listen closely, you can even hear them giggle sometimes ;-)

To crochet a few of these friendly little characters yourself, all you need is some leftover yarn with a matching crochet hook and a few basic crochet skills, such as single crochet and the magic ring. And then you’re ready to go!
You’ll see, before long your home will be teeming with funny owls :-D



You can find the pattern here

Have fun making them!

And for an extra dose of "good mood" first thing in the morning at the breakfast table, I also have these "Cheeky Breakfast Monsters" for you!
Funny, cheeky, and simply charming, they turn every breakfast egg into an eye-catcher—and put a smile on the face of even the grumpiest morning grouch ;-) 

They are easy and quick to crochet from a few bits of leftover yarn, and with just a few details you can give each of these little monsters its very own character. Just give it a try and let your imagination run wild! The funnier, the better :-D



And here you can find the pattern

Have fun making them!

You can crochet something that will really make you smile with DKG's crocheted medals...
e.g. the "Medal of Bravery",
or the "Superheroes" medal,
or a "Colorful Cross of Merit"...

All medals are easy to crochet from leftover yarn.
The pattern should also be easy to follow for beginners who know chain stitches, single crochet, and double crochet, and should lead to a beautiful, quick result.

HAVE FUN:-)))

Hats can *hear*, too... ;-)

Children especially will enjoy our CAT GIRL hat!

It may also be well suited for a carnival parade!

The pattern is based on a head circumference of approx. 50-52 cm.
However, the given gauge makes it easy to make any size.
