Meerkat - crochet pattern by NiggyArts

Product description

In these instructions I explain how you can crochet a realistic meerkat in 2 different variations (standing and crouching).
If you are crocheted with the indicated yarn, they will later be the size of real meerkats.

Meerkats are usually seen in groups, so they feel most comfortable when you crochet several directly;)

The instructions do not include a basic crochet course.
The crochet pattern is not suitable for beginners.
The PDF file consists of 12 pages.

Tolle Anleitung

Die Anleitung ist einfach und gut geschrieben. Die fertigen Erdmännchen sehen zauberhaft aus. Jeder fragt mich, woher hast du sie. Wenn dann sage, selbst gehäkelt, stauen alle.

Sehr gute Anleitung

Die Anleitung ist gut zu verstehen und umzusetzen. Da macht das Häkeln wirklich Spaß! Ich habe mein Erdmännchen aus Chenille Wolle gehäkelt. Lieben Dank an NiggyArts!

Erdmännchen

Sehr leicht nachzuarbeiten und auch für Anfänger kein Hexenwerk hat mir das Nacharbeiten wirklich viel Freude gemacht :-)

Super gute Anleitung

Die Anleitung erklärt alles Schritt für Schritt. Die Erdmännchen lösen genau solche Begeistungsstürme aus, wie die Katzen von Niggy Arts.

    Hi! I just got your pattern and I am running into an issue on R9 of the head. On R8 of the head pattern it only creates 29 stitches, but R9 assumes that there are 30 stitches. Is there a double missing on R8 or one stitch too many on R9 somewhere? I checked both the German and the English pattern and they both have the same issue. Cheers!

      Hi, you are right. There you have only to count to 29 and then count the new round with 30. This is the only way the pattern of the face opens up. Thank you for your attention :). Have fun crocheting, Niggy

    Hallo, das ist eine sehr schöne Anleitung und ich komme sonst auch gut damit klar. Allerdings habe ich eine Frage zu den Augen, die man mit der schwarzen Farben aufstickt. Ich kann das auf dem Bild schlecht erkennen und weiß daher nicht wie die Augen aussehen müssen. Vielleicht kannst du mir das in kurzen Worten sagen. Vielen Dank und viele Grüße

      Hallo und herzlichen Dank. Die Augen werden in die Mitte des braunen Bereichs der Augen mit schwarzem Faden um eine Masche mit mehreren Stichen gestickt. Es sollte am Ende wie ein schwarzer Punkt in der Mitte des braunen Bereichs für die Augen sein :). Ich hoffe, die Angaben konnten dir helfen. Sonst schreibe mir gerne ein PN. Liebe Grüße, Niggy
