“Rosa Wölkchen” is crocheted from one tip to the other. The border, which is reminiscent of little clouds, is crocheted on as you go, and the shape is created through even increases and decreases.
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.

Required 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 one hook size larger)
• Kitchen scale or other digital scale to determine half of the amount used

The size of the finished shawl is approx. 200 x 90 cm.
The pattern is 15 pages long and includes a detailed photo tutorial, detailed charts, and a schematic drawing.

I designed this cute little tiger especially for beginners who want to try their hand at knitting an animal. It’s knitted in the round, but for the arms, legs, and tail, there’s also the option to knit in rows. Assembly isn’t difficult, and the pattern walks you through it step by step.
When I was making its face, I wasn’t thinking of Janosch at all, but once it was finished, the resemblance was impossible to miss. Well, I guess I gave myself away as a Janosch fan :-)
