You can crochet Bully (as shown in the picture above) using plush yarn—that way, he’ll be extra cuddly. You’ll also find helpful tips in the pattern. If working with this yarn seems too complicated, you can also use any other yarn (see the picture below).

You can find the pattern here!

A little animal for the littlest ones! These crocheted octopuses are just the thing for babies to grab onto for the first time.



Click here for the pattern 

These little octopuses are colorful and are sure to make every child’s face light up.

You’ll need leftover yarn and a size 2.5 crochet hook. Inside the belly, there’s a Kinder Surprise egg capsule that makes a fun rattling sound, or some stuffing to make it nice and cozy.

All you need to know is how to make chain stitches and single crochet stitches. Each step is described in detail and is perfectly suitable even for beginners.

An animal pattern of a slightly different kind is this knitted bag with goldfish.

Take a look.



Little and bigger girls will have fun with it. You’ll need two skeins of cotton yarn (125 m/50 g) in blue and yellow and a 3 mm circular knitting needle. The handles are crocheted, so you’ll also need a crochet hook in the same size. If you want, you can also get lining fabric and a snap fastener, but that’s not absolutely necessary.
There is a knitting chart for the fish.

In summer, these cute little crocheted fish also love swimming around your place.

To get started, all you need is colorful leftover yarn and a size 2.5 crochet hook. You can put stuffing or a Kinder Surprise egg capsule inside the belly.

Solid and down-to-earth—that’s Uncle Hermann, the Lower Saxon Land Pig. If you knit him, you don’t have to worry about not having a third player for Skat—Uncle Hermann is the county Skat champion!
Uncle Hermann is surprisingly easy to knit; his shape is created by increases and decreases in just the right places, and his striped suit comes from the colorful NORO sock yarn.

You can find Emil the raven here...              

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

Have fun crocheting...

          

Here’s 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—a project that ambitious beginners will enjoy too. You will need approx. 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 simply embroider the eyes. Of course, Trudi can 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 ...

         

This is the Othello dog family :-)  Whether as a puppy or a bigger cuddly dog ...Othello is a hit!
The large dog is crocheted with acrylic (approx. 210 g - 50 g/133 m) and the little offspring with cotton yarn (approx. 95 g - 100 g/530 m): chain stitches, single crochet, half double crochet. Increases and decreases, and then Othello is actually quick to crochet. Every amigurumi lover is sure to have some stuffing on hand, a long blunt needle, and you can either use teddy bear eyes or embroider them. From 50 cm (standing) to 23 cm...or something in between if you use different yarn.
From beginners to pros...everyone loves Othello :-)
