Käfer Isar 10
Habe mir die Anleitung als Hilfe dazu geholt um ein Pensions Abschiedsgeschenk zu häkeln, hatte gerade mit dem Heck vom Käfer ein paar Probleme gehabt ging dann aber. Aber alles in allen eine Tolle Anleitung PS und das zusammenfügen aller Teile war recht sportlich Aber ich kann diese Anleitung weiterempfehlen, man muss aber schon besser wie ein Anfänger sein
