@Authors:
2–3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget to include the link, image, and the usual information.

Babies like rituals when falling asleep. A soothing melody and the cuddly little lamb can be just such a ritual. And if the little lamb was crocheted by Mom or Grandma, it’s sure to be dearly loved and a faithful friend for many years.
The little lamb is crocheted using only single crochet stitches. You can use fuzzy yarn for it (as shown in the picture), or, if you don’t feel up to that, another thick, fluffy yarn.

Little Snow Family:
Snow Dad, Snow Mom, Snow Child, quick to knit with sweet accessories.
A gift for “big” kids, too. Maybe even for St. Nicholas Day?

And here is the knitting pattern.

These little dolls can be knitted from leftover yarn, needle size 5 - 5.5; my material recommendation: myBoshi No1. For stuffing, you can use stuffing, fabric scraps, or leftover yarn (leftover strands). I have already knitted many colorful snow dolls/snowmen, also at customers’ request, for people who would already like to give such cute little dolls as gifts.

Each doll is made with a different knitting pattern (a combination of knit and purl stitches).

Dad from 9 - 10 cm, Mom from 7 - 8 cm, Child from 6 - 7 cm.
The little hats without little pompoms are 2.5 - 3.5 cm long.Happy knitting, from Ines of lessigfashion
P.S. Experienced knitters can knit the little family in less than 1 hour, with all the trimmings.

If you’re looking for a Christmas gift for babies and toddlers, these rattles are a great idea. The characters invite little ones to play because they make sounds, helping to develop motor skills.

For slightly older toddlers and children who are also soccer fans, the soccer-playing mouse MARIO is a great choice. You can make it in the gift recipient’s favorite team colors and even add their favorite
player’s number. --> Get the crochet pattern here: Soccer Mouse MARIO

Very little bunny lovers will be delighted with "Bunny Karlino".

 

The bunny is approx. 17 cm tall when made with cotton (measured without ears), and a little smaller with thinner baby yarn. Thanks to its simple body shape, it is great for grasping and holding. For babies, however, the button should be left off.

The pattern includes lots of detailed photos and thorough instructions, so even Amigurumi beginners can crochet their own bunny.

How about a sleeping bag with harness openings, suitable for an infant car seat, and a long zipper for easy dressing and undressing? The raglan style makes it manageable even for knitters who aren’t very experienced yet. Two hat variations round out the pattern.
