We actually have even more exclusive authors who can showcase their Top 5. :-)

1. Colorful Bunnies 
Very popular, not just at Easter: the colorful bunnies make a sweet little gift, gift tag, or pretty table decoration. You can also use them to make a mobile. They are very simple and easy to crochet, but their sophistication lies precisely in their simplicity. With their long ears and cheeky little pom-pom tails, they’re sure to be a hit. Great for using up leftover yarn!

2. Cuddly Cat 
Isn’t this kitten adorable? If you crochet it with the suggested yarn (Phil douce by Phildar), it will turn out especially soft and fluffy. You’ll get tips for this in the pattern. But you can also get a great result with acrylic yarn. The kitten is crocheted using only single crochet stitches.

3. Shells.      
Have you ever thought about crocheting shells? It’s not nearly as difficult as you might think, and they look very realistic and decorative. You can use tiny scraps of almost any yarn for them. Yarn with short color changes or in pastel colors looks especially lovely. Experiment a little with your yarn stash! The pattern describes how to make three different models.

4. Little Sheep.    
The little sheep with closed eyes is especially suitable as a bedtime cuddly toy. Crocheted with thick yarn, it becomes large enough to hold a music box in its belly. (Tip: there are music boxes that can be washed along with it.) The little lamb in the picture was crocheted with fluffy yarn. But you can also use acrylic yarn or another thick yarn.

5. Fish Tail 
The outfit for Barbie mermaids can be crocheted quickly and easily from leftover yarn. Personally, I especially like aqua shades, but which colors you choose naturally also depends on the doll mom’s taste. If she is a little older, she might even be able to try making it herself, because the pattern is also suitable for beginners.
