A pretty fall decoration: the two funny hedgehogs in the pile of leaves! With big eyes, they peek out from their cozy little home.
The two hedgehogs are quickly crocheted with some cotton yarn and sock yarn. The pile of leaves is made from fall-colored variegated sock yarn, but can also be crocheted from leftover cotton yarn in matching colors.
The crochet pattern is beginner-friendly and also includes many detailed photos.

Charly the Little Hedgehog
the friendly little hedgehog for every occasion



-- to the pattern --

This little hedgehog makes a great autumn decoration, but it can also be a lucky charm, a bag charm, or a key ring.

The pattern is, as always, richly illustrated and describes step by step how you can crochet this lovely little hedgehog yourself - even as a beginner with basic skills. A great way to use up leftover yarn.

The little hedgehog shown was crocheted from just under 20 g of cotton yarn (e.g. Gründl Cotton Fun LL 115m/50g) and is just under 7 cm long.

Fall is here, time for some new decor.

Fall has its beautiful sides too; cozy colors warm up your home and make you forget even the gloomiest rainy day.

All patterns are beginner-friendly and written without abbreviations

Crochet pattern Door Wreath Autumn Mood



Crochet pattern Door Wreath Sunflower


To crochet these, you should be familiar with the following crochet skills:

• magic ring
• chain stitches
• slip stitches
• single crochet stitches
• half double crochet, double crochet and treble crochet
• increasing and decreasing stitches

-----------------------------------------------------------
Crochet pattern Scarecrow Else


To crochet this, you only need single crochet and half double crochet stitches—a great pattern for beginners.

In keeping with the season, I designed an autumnal tealight holder and, for a change, used leather paper instead of photo cardstock for crafting. If this type of paper isn’t to your liking, you can of course also make the leaf from photo cardstock.



The tealight holder measures approx. 16 x 19 cm, is very easy to craft, and is also ideal for beginners who can handle a craft knife well.

These cute little trees and stars fly off the hook so quickly that you’ll have conjured up a whole little forest with a starry sky in no time.

You can use them as tree ornaments, gift tags, decorations for an Advent wreath, or table decor. Or arrange them as a wreath around a few candles, and you’ll have your own modern Advent decoration.

You can easily crochet the little trees with or without a loop. They are very easy and quick to crochet—making them absolutely suitable for beginners.

Here’s the pattern

Even though toadstools aren’t edible, they’re wonderful to look at. And when their red caps glow into your room from your window, those rainy days won’t seem quite so gray.



This window decoration is made from photo cardstock and translucent paper, measures approximately 49 x 56 cm, and—with a little crafting experience—can be quickly and easily cut out and glued together.

"Swirl" Pillow Pattern


You can quickly crochet this pillow before the Advent season begins. The pattern is worked from the center outward.

You should know how to crochet double crochets, treble crochets, half double crochets, and single crochets.

For each pillow, I used 250 g (125 g white and 125 g black) of blended yarn (approx. 85 m/50 g) with a 4.5 to 5.0 mm hook.

Using the specified yarn, the mushrooms will be approx. 12 cm, 20 cm, and 27 cm tall.
