Crochet pattern for Vassilli the floppy mouse
Leftover yarn is enough to make Vassilli, because he really is only hand-sized. A nice little gift for many occasions.

The pattern is available here with one click

The step-by-step pattern is also easy for crochet “beginners” to follow.
Many photos support the explanations.

Exactly palm-sized is Schnuffel the little hedgehog. He is, however, very shy and prefers to hide under his leaves.

You’ll receive a detailed 8-page pattern with lots of photos for quick and easy completion.

You should already be familiar with crocheting single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, treble crochet, cluster stitches, as well as chain stitches and slip stitches. Schnuffel is about 15 cm long and 8 cm tall.

Materials needed:

• approx. 50 g dark brown yarn - hook size 3–4
• Yarn in sand, light green, and dark green (leftovers are enough), a great way to use up leftover yarn :)
• Crochet hook size 3.5
• Sewing needle
• 2 safety eyes and stuffing

Rudi, the little moose, is already looking forward to the days getting cooler again, because then his season begins. Rudi is very easy to crochet, even for beginners. It works up so quickly that you can make several right away. Then you’ll have original gift tags for Christmas that can later be used as keychains or bag charms.  All you need is a few leftover yarn scraps and basic crochet skills. 
You can find the pattern here!

Do you have a hobby cook among your friends? Or an owl fan? Then this little keychain would make a nice small gift! Under the apron, the owl has a small zippered pocket where you can keep a shopping cart token. The material needed is minimal; a few leftovers are enough. Difficulty level of the pattern: easy.
