Emilio the Elephant, with his big, round eyes, is a cuddly companion.

Emilio the Elephant measures 31 cm from the tip of his trunk to the sole of his hind feet when made using the specified materials. I personally recommend cotton yarn for making all of my cuddly toys.

The pattern includes many step-by-step photos that make it easier to make. However, basic crochet skills (single crochet, spiral rounds, etc.) are required.

Here is Emilio's pattern:

Despite his horn, Nils the rhinoceros is by no means dangerous and simply wants to be cuddled. Using the specified materials, Nils the rhinoceros will measure a proud 44 cm in length. I personally recommend cotton yarn for making all of my amigurumis. The pattern contains many step-by-step photos that make it easier to follow. However, basic crochet knowledge (single crochet, increases/decreases, etc.) is required.

Here is the pattern:

Max the mole would soooo love to make himself at home in your garden. With a great tunnel home and lots of even greater mounds on the lawn ;-) Max is knitted in the round, and the head is shaped with short rows. It's very easy! So grab your needles and knit funny little Max.

Here’s the pattern: CLICK!

How about an animal mask ? With it, your child can turn into a little puppy (and luckily only temporarily :-)).



The mask is made of cardstock and construction paper and is very easy and quick to make. It’s one size, so it fits most people, but it can be made larger or smaller as needed.

Money Donkey Moneyshit (crocheted)

-->> Click here for the pattern  



Everyone wants a donkey that can shit money....... Inspired by the fairy tale “The Wishing Table,” which featured the gold donkey, I’ve now crocheted a money donkey. Not only can this donkey eat money, as shown in the picture here, but when he lifts his tail, loose change also falls out of his rear end. This is a great way to give a loved one a truly original monetary gift.

Moneyshit stands 27 cm tall (44 cm from the tip of his ear to his hoof) and is 50 cm long. Of course, you can see a few more pictures of him here, and there’s also a short video to go with it.

Difficulty level : Easy to Intermediate

What you’ll need:

  • Gründl Lisa yarn (gray – approx. 300 gr.)
  • Some light gray, black, red, white, and yellow (Happy by Gründl),
  • Stuffing, a Tic-Tac tin
  • A little superglue
  • Tape
  • Two large safety eyes
  • 3.5 mm hook, yarn needle, and scissors

Wasti the dachshund isn’t just a cute little dog, but also an extremely useful pencil case. You can store your writing supplies in his belly. But your crochet hooks will fit in there too.
Wasti is crocheted from cotton. You’ll also need some leftover fluffy yarn, a little craft stuffing, 1 pair of googly eyes and a zipper. You can find the pattern HERE!

Crochet pattern - - Labrador Retriever -Crochet Modelling



Chrochet Modelling means something like modeling while crocheting.

Unlike amigurumi, where simple geometric shapes are crocheted and sewn together to create a doll-like figure, Chrochet Modelling uses a crochet hook and yarn to model very realistic figures. Nothing is sewn, and everything is crocheted in one piece.

Chrochet Modelling takes a little more time than crocheting amigurumis, but the result speaks for itself.

Basic crochet skills and knowledge of the different types of stitches are required.

By specifically using single crochet stitches, adjustment stitches, increases, decreases, chain stitches, short rows, front post stitches, front post increases and decreases, and of course yarn colors, you can shape faces and bodies quite realistically. This makes it possible, for example, to recreate your beloved pet.

This was also the basis for developing this technique.

In this pattern, I show how impressive results can be achieved with this technique using a Labrador Retriever as an example.

The pattern is very detailed and extensive. On 59 pages, I show and explain step by step (172 photos illustrate the modeling) how Chrochet Modelling works. I have tried to write this pattern in such detail that even beginners with basic knowledge can follow it.

Required basic skills:
single crochet stitches … slip stitches … chain stitches … doubling stitches, turning chains, magic ring - (shown and explained at the end of the pattern) invisible stitch decreases - (shown and explained at the end of the pattern) spiral rounds, front post stitches & increases (shown and explained at the end of the pattern)

Materials and supplies:
  • approx. 550 g yarn in black 
  • a small amount in gray and white 
  • stuffing  
  • some red (pink) felt for the tongue 
  • some glue 
  • 8-10 stitch markers (MM)
  • safety eyes - 
  • 18 mm safety nose
