Here comes a colorful dog! Wasti the dachshund is not only a cute, colorful cuddly toy, but also extremely useful: On the bottom of his belly he has a zipper, behind which you’ll find your pencils, eraser, and sharpener, because Wasti is a practical pencil case. But you can also trust him to store your crochet hooks. 
Wasti is crocheted with single crochet stitches using colorful leftover yarn—the more colorful, the better! He’s already looking forward to soon being allowed to sit on your desk!

These two edge-sitters, Lion and Mouse, are a colorful pair. 

  

The crochet pattern is inspired by the fable of the lion and the mouse, which tells how the little mouse saves the big lion’s life after he spares her and doesn’t eat her. In my version of the story, the two become really good friends afterward, even though they look so different on the outside.
