This sweet little bear is waiting to be knitted by you. It was designed especially for babies and is a very special comforter, because you knitted it yourself for your grandchild or child.

Knitting pattern baby shoes - Wuschel

   Go to the pattern!

Wuschel the hedgehog is very easy to knit.

With 25 g of eyelash yarn, e.g. One Live or Gründl Arktis
and a little leftover yarn for the cuff, you can conjure up
a lovely gift!

 The pattern shows you step by step, also with pictures,
how easy it is.

He is and always will be my favorite: the cute sun bear Carlos. Isn’t he just adorable? That look in his eyes and that honey-yellow sweater make me melt. And Carlos isn’t even that hard to knit… go for it!

And here’s another heartbreaker: Nelson the lion has everyone wrapped around his little finger… I mean, his little claw, of course ;-)

If you like things plush, then I recommend these crocheted animals from my shop. They are crocheted with fluffy yarn, so you can hardly tell that these little animals were created with a crochet hook. If you crochet a thin cotton thread (filet crochet thread) along with the fluffy yarn, you can feel the individual stitches well and handle the fluffy yarn easily.
Additionally, stitch markers help you keep your place.
But of course, all the animals can also be crocheted with conventional yarn.

First up is the sleepy little lamb Lolli. I used Phil Douce from Phildar for it. It is wonderfully soft.  
The lamb is crocheted with single crochet stitches only and can also be used as a music box. Isn't that a sweet Christmas gift?

Bully, the "Elephant at the Beach," was crocheted from the same fluffy yarn (this time in gray). For the hat, the swim ring, and the sailboat, I used Catania cotton. Bully is about 22 cm tall and a wonderful Christmas gift for anyone who would like to cuddle with a jungle dweller.
You can download the pattern for Bully here!

Last but not least: Purzel, the plush white bunny, also made from fluffy yarn. Purzel is 30 cm tall and meant as a gift for someone you especially love. The overalls with the little hearts are crocheted on permanently, so they cannot be taken off. Purzel also comes with a pink basket where you can place an extra surprise.
Here is the pattern for Purzel the Bunny!

What do you think of Egon?

He’s a gentleman through and through...
Plus, he loves to cuddle, and his size makes him perfect for younger children—or for anyone who’s young at heart and is sure to fall for his charm.

Egon is crocheted in rows in the ragdoll style, making him a great choice for those who don’t like working in rounds.

By the way, you’ll find more detailed information on technique and material usage in the pattern.

A cuddly teddy bear just like the ones from back in the day...

Gustav is very easy to crochet—even beginners can do it.

Details on the technique and materials required can be found in the crochet pattern, which you can find here:

Nellie the lucky pig...

Pink, with a skirt and flowers by her ear... it doesn’t get much girlier than that!

Whether for big or little girls—as a cuddly friend, lucky charm, or little gift for New Year’s Eve/New Year’s—she’s simply sweet.

Nellie is crocheted—like Egon—in ragdoll style in rows, only the skirt is worked in rounds.

You’ll find more details about material requirements and technique in the crochet pattern here, too —> https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/41644/gluecksschweinchen-nellie-haekelanleitung

With this cute floppy calf, you’ll be on cloud nine. It’s so cuddly!
The crochet pattern is very suitable for beginners, as everything is well described and illustrated.
I crocheted the calf with Bravo by Schachenmayr, but it can also be crocheted with other yarn! However, this may change the size.

Rhino Nico
the cuddly friend for snuggling and dreaming



-- to the pattern --

Little Nico loves to cuddle and is happy to come along on every dream journey.

To be able to crochet Nico, you should have some experience with amigurumi crochet , as the pattern uses more than just the “normal,” evenly round shapes.

As always, the pattern is richly illustrated and describes in detail all the necessary steps so you can crochet your own Nico.

The Nico shown was crocheted from about 90 g of cotton yarn (e.g., Gründl Cotton Fun, 115 m/50 g) and is 21 cm long.

Lloyd is a super-cuddly llama, and thanks to his size of about 30 cm, he’s perfect for snuggling ♥

If you have a little patience when working with fluffy yarn, the detailed crochet pattern will soon help you create an enchanting gift for your own kids, grandkids, the neighbor’s kids—or simply one to cuddle yourself :-)

Crochet Pattern: Lloyd the Llama

This little elephant girl is very cuddly and loves to snuggle.
At about 16 cm tall, little Rosa is also perfect as a “travel companion,” since she fits in almost
any bag ;-)
