Craft shy animals for shy children

Dear users, dear authors,
if you have a shy child at home, you could give the child some support in the form of an equally shy animal / amigurumi. Everything is much easier to manage together. Just give it a try. Start crafting now.

@Authors,
2-3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget the link and image, as well as the usual info.

The little lamb may be very shy, but once it overcomes its shyness, it becomes very trusting and wants to cuddle all the time! Crocheted with thick, fluffy yarn, the little sheep will be big enough to hold a music box. Then, in the evening, it will play a wonderful lullaby to help you fall asleep. Of course, the lamb can also be crocheted with any other type of yarn, but the fluffy yarn makes it especially soft and plush. Click here for the pattern!

A little more daring, but still very shy, is little elephant Bully, who loves playing by the water with his little boat. To keep him safe, his mom gave him a swim ring.
Bully is also best crocheted with fluffy yarn, but he turns out very cute in acrylic yarn too.
Here you can see him crocheted with different yarns for comparison:

Giraffe “Gunnar” also describes himself as shy. But let’s be honest—we don’t quite buy that, do we? In any case, at 30 cm tall, he’s perfect for holding onto and, if necessary, hiding behind a little.

 

For Gunnar, you’ll need, among other things, cotton yarn in 5 giraffe-typical colors (approx. 100 g / 14.5 g / 4 g / 2 g / 5 g) and a few other materials, which you can find on the pattern’s details page. You should also already have the following skills:

• Crocheting in spiral rounds and rows
• Chain stitches and slip stitches
• Single crochet and half double crochet
• Increasing single crochets and crocheting them together

I hope you have lots of fun crocheting this! :-)

Finger puppets are ideal comforters. They can tell lots of wonderful stories and keep every secret to themselves. They’re also great for cuddling. The little donkey girl is about 20 cm tall. The crochet pattern is written in easy-to-understand German and includes pictures.
