Rabbit + Hedgehog + Turtle + Snail

Dear users, dear authors,
I’m dedicating this thread to the world of fables.
You surely know the story of The Rabbit and the Turtle?
Pretty much everyone knows the story of The Rabbit and the Hedgehog too.
And here is the story of The Rabbit and the Snail.

You can never have enough rabbits, even if they aren’t portrayed all that positively in the fables / stories. But they are very popular as handmade projects.
Of course, we also have patterns for snails, hedgehogs, and turtles.
Since owls appear in many fables, I’d also like to remind you of our owl patterns.
You can find more animal patterns here.

@Authors,
You can present 2-3 patterns featuring the animals mentioned above here.
Don’t forget an image and link, as well as material info, technique info, difficulty level info, and details about what makes the pattern special.

It doesn’t necessarily have to be Easter—you can play with this pair of bunnies all year round! Finger puppets are very popular with children, especially those of daycare age. They have lots of fun putting the little puppets on their fingers and acting out short role-playing games. This sparks their imagination and helps them playfully work through smaller worries.
You can easily crochet the two bunnies from a few bits of leftover yarn and bring the little ones great joy with little effort. You can get the crochet pattern here: Crochet bunny puppets.

How about the story of the snail and the ladybug?

Here, I’d like to introduce you to Schnecki Schneck & Marieni . You can have lots of adventures with them. They’re best friends and are always together. They could become your friends too.

Crochet Pattern Bunny Hippie
  Details & Pattern

"Poor little bunny, are you sick, so you can’t hop anymore...."

Hippie can’t do that, because his rice filling makes him so heavy that the doors stay safely open.
Made from thick leftover yarn, he’s quick to make.

A cute little bunny for hugging, cuddling, and listening to music.

To make sure the cuddly bunny is truly child-friendly, I’ve avoided sewing as much as possible. The body is worked starting from the feet, and the hands are crocheted directly onto it - they really can’t come off anymore.

Two patterns are included because there are slight differences.
Pattern 1: without a music box
Pattern 2: with a music box


Materials:

• 50 g cotton yarn / 125 m
• stuffing
• safety eyes, 10-15 mm
• a music box (Amazon or Buttinette) - washable versions are also available!
• crochet hook size 2.5

Skills:

• single crochet
• chain stitches
• slip stitches
• half double crochet
• double crochet
• magic ring
• color change

Ingo and Ines Hedgehog feel completely at home in the meadow. They simply love life in nature. Do you too?
Ingo and Ines Hedgehog will each be 20 cm tall when made using the specified materials. I personally recommend cotton yarn for making all my stuffed animals and dolls.

The pattern includes lots of step-by-step photos that make it easier to follow. However, basic crochet skills (single crochet, increases/decreases, spiral rounds, etc.) are required.

described and includes lots of helpful photos.

Have fun and enjoy relaxing crochet hours

 Fussel and Flocke  

  
Baby owls to love :-)

A fluffy way to use up leftovers :-) This is how you get rid of that last ball of winter yarn and end up with a great result.
Approx. 200 g hat yarn (150g/165m) for the body and approx. 100 g fluffy yarn or mohair-style yarn for the rest. Needle size 5, some stuffing, a blunt needle, and two eyes. Fussel and/or Flocke are crocheted quite quickly with the thicker yarn. Chain stitches, single crochet, increases and decreases. This is a project that will brighten up the weekend a bit even for ambitious beginners :-)
Your leftover winter yarn will be made into something cozy, even when it’s already too warm for a hat or scarf. 
Fussel and Flocke can of course also be crocheted with any other yarn; this only changes the size from the current approx. 35 cm and the amount of material needed. 

Have fun crocheting :-)
