Click here for Trudi 

Trudi is an adorable duck who’s just looking for a nice home. Trudi is about 25–30 cm tall, depending on the yarn weight used. Single crochet, increases, and decreases—a project that even ambitious beginners will enjoy. You’ll need about 130 g of cotton yarn; here I used organic cotton from Lana Grossa, a size 3 crochet hook, stuffing, a blunt needle, and—if you like—two teddy bear eyes, or you can simply embroider the eyes on. Of course, Trudi can be crocheted with any yarn or wool you like. This will only change the size and the amount of yarn used.

For kids and adults alike... Trudi is just fun :-)

Have fun crocheting...

A crocheted infinity scarf. It’s crocheted in rows and then joined together, so you can skip the sewing. The pattern is simple but very effective.
I crocheted my original using a cashmere-mohair yarn (88m per 25g), but you can use a wide variety of yarns for this pattern—you should plan on using about 400m.

You can find the pattern here.


The crochet pattern for the Strawberry Flower Child  is now brand new in my shop, just in time for strawberry season. Isn’t it just as​ sweet as the strawberries themselves? Look, it’s already nibbling on the big fruit and looking forward to more. Wouldn’t this make an original table decoration when you’re serving strawberry cake?
The pattern is richly illustrated and very detailed, so even crochet beginners can easily follow along.
All you need are a few scraps of yarn, stuffing, a crochet hook, and wire (not absolutely necessary). So you can get started right away!

Amigurumi ring

This guardian owl *Ruhu* definitely belongs in every home. She serves a very helpful purpose as a door indicator and bodyguard, and she’s also an eye-catching decoration. We use her on many doors, for example on the WC, the bathroom, and the study.



It’s also easy for beginners to make with the 16-page pattern. Each step is explained in detail, with lots of additional photos. By the way, it’s the first owl I’ve ever crocheted. And if I managed it, then you can too. ;-)

You can even use up leftover yarn for it. I already had the buttons in my button box and was able to use them well here.

With her charm, the guardian owl *Ruhu* puts us in a good mood every time. :-)

Use this pattern to crochet a pretty skirt (any size). The comfortable elastic is worked directly into the waistband as you crochet, making it easier for the girl to put the skirt on and take it off. Material list: This pattern is ideal for using up leftover yarn. However, for beginners, I recommend using a yarn with a color gradient. This way, you won’t have to deal with annoying color changes, and the skirt will have multiple colors.

• I used Katia Cotton Stretch yarn (87% cotton, 13% polyester), 50g, 170 m. However, you’re welcome to use a different yarn, such as cotton or a cotton-blend yarn.
  Crochet hooks sizes 3 and 4.

The pattern includes detailed photos and is suitable for beginners with basic crochet skills. This pattern is still quite simple, as you only need to know how to make chain stitches, double crochets, and single crochets.
