@Authors,
2–3 patterns per author are enough.
Don’t forget the link and image.
Don’t forget info about the material, technique, difficulty level, and what makes the pattern special.

Here comes the quirky bird of paradise, another funny hand puppet for imaginative playtime fun. A great gift that will
make children's eyes light up, usable for therapy purposes or also as a potholder
or kitchen decoration.





Click here to go to the pattern:


Required materials:

• per bird approx. 60 g yarn (without hair) for recommended hook size 3-4 (e.g. Baby Batik by Ice Yarns here, yardage 360m/ 100g )
• crochet hook size 3
• 2 safety eyes 12 mm or googly eyes/beads
• stuffing (only for the eyes)
• possibly a scrap of felt (mouth)

Looks like a bird, but unfortunately totally clumsy and unable to fly. But very sweet and cuddly, Pino the bird of paradise comes around the corner ;)
He is made entirely from leftover yarn, so he’s a very good way to reduce your mountains of leftover yarn.

Once finished, Pino will be approx. 32 cm tall (when using the specified hook size and yarn weight). You will receive a detailed 20-page pattern with lots of photos to follow along.

Also suitable for ambitious beginners

required skills:
The pattern does not include a basic course. You should know how to crochet single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet and treble crochet stitches, as well as chain stitches and slip stitches.

You will also need:

• approx. 200 g leftover yarn (needle size 3 - 4) in different colors
• crochet hook size 4.5
• yarn needle, darning needle
• stuffing
• 2 safety eyes, size 12 mm

It’s always almost Easter.




Material: yarn from leftovers (brown, purple, red, yellow, light green, pale yellow, orange, black, light brown), stuffing, crochet hook no. 2, yarn needle
 The pattern is also suitable for beginners who have the necessary stitch knowledge (how the stitch types are crocheted is not explained).

 Fussel and Flocke   

  
Baby owls to love :-)

A fluffy way to use up leftovers :-) This is how you get rid of that last skein 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. Hook size 5, some stuffing, a blunt needle, and two eyes. Fussel and/or Flocke are crocheted fairly quickly with the thicker yarn. Chain stitches, single crochet, increases and decreases. This is also a project for ambitious beginners that will make the weekend a little nicer :-)
Your leftover winter yarn will be turned into something cuddly when it’s already too warm for a hat or scarf. 
Of course, Fussel and Flocke can 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 :-)

          

Here is where you’ll find Trudi

Trudi is a lovable duck who is simply looking for a nice home. 

Trudi is approx. 25–30 cm tall, depending on the yarn weight used. Single crochet, increases and decreases—this is a project that even ambitious beginners will enjoy. You will need approx. 130 g 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 simply embroider the eyes. Trudi can of course be crocheted with any yarn/wool you like. This only changes the size and the amount of material needed. 

For little ones and grown-ups... Trudi is simply fun :-)

Have fun crocheting ...

Raven Emil is available here...              

A lovable raven and a buddy and friend for the children's room :-)
Emil is always a popular fellow, loved by amigurumi fans big and small.
Single crochet, half double crochet and double crochet, two eyes and stuffing. Use the yarn you have at home. Starting at 70 g if you crochet with acrylic. A bit more with cotton. 
It's best to get started right away, then Emil can lounge comfortably on your couch sometime too :-)

Have fun crocheting...

This funny fellow has just fluttered fresh into my shop. Though, with his little wings, the ODD BIRD can’t really fly properly. His strength is more in cozy lounging on the edges of sofas and armchairs :-)
The bird is approx. 15 cm tall and softly stuffed, so he practically invites you to cuddle him. He is knitted with short rows, and you can use any yarn you like – maybe even from your stash? Because the ODD BIRD likes it colorful! Of course, the pattern is written so that no questions are left unanswered, and there are lots of pictures, for example for his feet, so adventurous beginners can also make the bird successfully.

The little owls from my RESTEFRESSERCHEN series are a real hit. As the name suggests, they’re perfect for finally using up your leftover yarn, because they love bright, brighter, brightest colors. The mini owls are a wonderful project for trying short rows, because you’ll see your first results very quickly. Never tried it before? Then grab your needles!

And even more owls – here it’s a whole family! PLEASE NOTE: The little owl is identical to the mini owls in the post above. So if you want to knit the whole family, you naturally don’t need to purchase the mini owls. The Shuhuu Owl Family is also a great project for learning new techniques – and for reducing your yarn stash :-)

Victor and Victoria Bird have already gotten ready for winter: with a hat and scarf. Because they definitely do not want to move to the warm south. And that’s a good thing: who could resist these two? Victor will be 22 cm tall and Victoria 18 cm tall when made with the specified materials. The pattern contains many step-by-step photos that make it easier to follow. However, basic crochet skills (single crochet, increases/decreases, spiral rounds, etc.) should be present.

Here is the pattern for the two of them:
