Raupelina will win every child’s heart right away and become the child’s favorite. She is knitted with two needles, so she is very well suited for beginners. Of course, she can also be knitted in the round.Materials needed:
  • Raupelina needs yarn, yarn, and more yarn. The more she gets, the bigger she will be.
  • Two needles or a set of double-pointed needles for needle size 2.5–3.0.
  • 1 yarn needle and an appliqué, or alternatively felt in black or another color.
  • A sewing needle, a yarn needle.
All set? Then let’s get started. In the pattern, the pictures always show you what to do and how the knitted result should look.

All set? Then let’s get started. In the pattern, the pictures always show you what to do and how the knitted result should look.

 Autumn mood with the Meckis

♫♫♫
♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫
Only the big animals eat the sweetest fruits,
and because the trees are tall
and these animals are big.
The sweetest fruits taste just as good to you and me,
but because we are both small,
we never reach them.
(lyrics by Peter Alexander)
♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫

Mama and Baby Mecki also feel like having sweet fruits, and with a lot of effort they managed to reach the delicious grapes.

Crochet pattern Teddy Latzi with overalls and beanie

This is the cool Teddy Latzi with overalls and a beanie. 
The shoes and pants cannot be removed, but the hat can be taken off. 

I have explained everything step by step with lots of pictures in a very detailed crochet pattern. However, this pattern is only somewhat suitable for beginners. But I have included a small crochet school.

The cool Latzi will be about 20 cm tall when using Catania yarn and a 3.0 mm crochet hook.       
                                                                                                          
Materials
Catania yarn (50g/125m)/ 3.0 mm crochet hook/ stuffing/
safety eyes (10 mm)/ sewing needle/ scissors

What will be crocheted
chain stitches/ slip stitches/ single crochet
half double crochet/ crocheting in rounds/ increases and decreases

Crochet Pattern XL Horse

This beautiful horse is not crocheted in the “usual” amigurumi technique. 
I crocheted this horse mainly in rows. 
This horse is very decorative. But I also think horse lovers (whether big or small) will be very happy with a horse like this. Little girls can let their dolls ride on it. 
In a 14-page PDF file, I explained everything step by step. 
There are also photos for each step for better understanding. 

The horse will be approx. 35 cm tall and 32 cm long. So it’s a nice big playmate. 

NOT necessarily suitable for beginners 
But if you still want to take on the challenge, I’ll be very happy to help you.

Materials
Cotton Quick by Gründl approx. 300 g (silver gray 070)/ Catania approx. 20 g (black)
Crochet hooks 4.0 and 2.5/ stuffing at least 200 g/ safety eyes 10 mm
Sewing needle/ scissors

What you should know how to do
Chain stitches/ single crochet/ crochet in rows
Increasing and decreasing/ sewing together

Bully the little elephant is a real water baby! Here he is floating on the water with his swim ring, pulling his little sailboat behind him. To keep from getting sunstroke, he’s put on his sun hat.
Would you like to crochet Bully? You can make him out of fuzzy yarn (as shown in the left picture) or—if that seems too complicated—with acrylic yarn (right picture). Bully is very easy to crochet. In the detailed pattern, you’ll find lots of pictures and helpful tips for crocheting with fuzzy yarn. At the end of the pattern, there’s a 5-page printable version without pictures.

You can download the pattern here!

Wasti the Dachshund is a practical and original storage pouch for pens, crochet hooks, or all sorts of odds and ends. You can crochet it in two versions: brightly colored in your favorite shades or in brown. You’ll need cotton yarn with a length of 125m/50g (Catania) and a scrap of fuzzy or eyelash yarn for the ears and tail. You’ll also need a zipper (12 cm), stuffing, and googly eyes. The pattern uses only single crochet stitches. Find the pattern here!
