The little black-and-white cuddly cat is surely something everyone would love to have! It’s so plush and soft that you can’t even tell it’s crocheted. Crocheted from fluffy yarn, it measures about 20 cm.
If you choose a different type of yarn, it may turn out slightly larger or smaller.
The pattern also includes a few tips on working with fluffy yarn. Otherwise, it’s not particularly difficult: you only need to crochet single crochet stitches.

Wasti is a very special dachshund because he loves pens! He loves to make them disappear into his belly, and you’ll always find them there because his belly closes with a zipper.
Crochet Wasti using brown cotton yarn (Catania) as shown in the pictures above, or make him all colorful—whatever you like best! Here’s what the pink “girls’ version” looks like, for example: Click here for the pattern!

Crochet pattern - Yorkshire Terrier



Yorkie... The little terrier will be 20 cm tall, depending on the yarn and hook size.

He is house-trained and a true friend. Ideal for playing with, loving, or giving as a gift.

For now, he is still at the animal shelter (your yarn basket), waiting to be crocheted by you and to become your loyal friend.

On 26 richly illustrated pages (with 72 step-by-step pictures), I show you how you can free this cute terrier from his cage (your yarn basket).

Assuming basic crochet skills, this pattern is also very well suited for beginners.

Required basic skills:

• Magic ring - (shown and explained in the pattern)
  
• Invisible decrease stitches - (shown and explained in the pattern)
  
• single crochet; slip stitches; chain stitches; half double crochet; double crochet; increasing stitches:
  
• knotting in strands - (shown and explained with photos)
  

And here is where the little Yorkie is snoozing

Little Mouse 
Explained in detail, so it is also suitable for crochet beginners. After it is made, the little mouse is approx. 40 cm tall, depending on the yarn used. Copyright protected! The pattern is for private use only. Selling, publishing, and reproducing the pattern are prohibited and will be prosecuted! For this project you need: a crochet hook 2–2.5, a darning needle or a doll needle for sewing the body parts together, a row marker or a thread in a contrasting color to mark the beginning of the rounds, buttons or beads for the eyes, approx. 10 mm (I used lentil beads), scissors, yarn in gray (approx. 250 g, 50 g/115 m), and pink (approx. 50 g). You need to know the following: single crochet, half double crochet, slip stitch. But you can also work with other colors and yarn compositions. You just need to make sure that you use a smaller hook than the manufacturer specifies on the ball band. This is important so that the stitches are not too loose and the stuffing does not poke out through the small holes after filling.
