No. 1 Sheep Egg Cozy Crochet Pattern
Click here to go directly to the crochet pattern

What you’ll need:

• Approx. 15 g of yarn (it’s best to use 100% cotton yarn, as this makes the egg cozies nice and sturdy. Of course, you can also use any other yarn) in white or brown, suitable for a 3 mm crochet hook. Leftover yarn in green.
• Darning needle and scissors
• Some stuffing for the head
• 3 mm crochet hook
• Googly eyes and superglue

To give the sheep a better fleece look, I crochet with “bobbles.” I explain these at the beginning of the pattern and illustrate everything with pictures, so you’ll understand this technique very quickly ;-). All the other steps are also illustrated and explained with lots of pictures. Difficulty level: medium; you should already have some crochet experience ;-) and not choose the sheep as your very first crochet project. These sheep egg cozies are a super cute eye-catcher on any breakfast table! Also ideal as a gift ;-) !!!

Click here to go directly to the crochet pattern
These adorable mini sheep are approx. 7 cm tall and are perfect as keychains, bag charms, or decorations. You can crochet them in any color, so each sheep becomes a truly unique piece! To create a better fleece look, the sheep are crocheted with bobbles. I explain these in detail at the beginning of the pattern so that the body can be crocheted quickly. These mini keychains are great as gifts, especially now at Easter :-) !You should be able to do the following:

• Increase and decrease single crochet stitches
• Single crochet
• Make a magic ring
• In general, these mini sheep should not be your first amigurumi project

Length: 17 illustrated pages of crochet instructions in which I explain everything step by step. I also won’t leave you on your own when it comes to sewing the individual parts together ;-)What you’ll need

• A 2 mm crochet hook
• Scraps of yarn (approx. 6–7 g) in the color you want your sheep to be (white, cream, beige, brown, black...), and this yarn must be suitable for a 2 mm crochet hook
• Googly eyes and superglue
• Stuffing
• Darning needle and scissors
• Small key ring (diameter 1.5 cm) or a thin thread so you can hang up the little sheep at the end

Number 2 is this triangular shawl, knitted from 1 skein of sock yarn.




And number 3 is a knitted lace stole.

I’m very happy to introduce you to my three most popular patterns.

1st place
Beanie HERBSTFREUDE
The crochet pattern is written so that even beginners with basic crochet skills can easily follow it. Many pictures and detailed explanations of the individual steps help with this. The beanie can easily be adjusted to any head size, so it can be crocheted for children and adults. The individual stripes can also be made with leftover yarn.

2nd place
Pillow SMILE
This pillow cover in rainbow colors can be used not only for cuddling, but also as a decorative pillow. Of course, it can also be made in other colors. Here, too, the individual steps are explained with lots of pictures, so even advanced beginners can try this crochet project. The finished pillow measures 40 x 80 cm.

3rd place
Square Hat HAPPINESS
This hat is also easy to adjust to all head sizes, so it can be crocheted for children and adults. You also don’t need to know how to increase or decrease to crochet the hat, which is why it’s a true beginner project. You can also crochet the hat with different yarn weights, although I recommend thinner yarn here, because then the pattern shows up better and you can use more colors. This also makes the hat a great way to use up leftover yarn.

Position 3 is now taken by my crochet pattern for a ball / balloon cover.
