CAL: Toothless Amigurumi Part 1 – the Head

Summer is almost over and that means that the best crochet-time of the year is just about to start. Of course I have been busy during the summer break of this blog and of course I made some plans what to post once it would be over. And of course I changed all of them when one of you asked me on my youtube channel to design a special amigurumi for her. She was searching for a toothless pattern in German. Of course I know that there are some really beautiful crochet night furys out there, so I thought about …

Freie Häkelanleitung: Amigurumi-Drache und Sommerpause beim flauschigen Einhorn

Über meinen Youtube-Kanal erreichte mich vor einiger Zeit die Anfrage, ob ich nicht auch einmal eine Anleitung für einen Amigurumi-Drachen entwicklen könnte, die vom Stil her an mein Einhorn angelehnt ist. Heute kann ich euch endlich das Ergebnis zeigen. Es ist ein sitzender Babydrache mit großem Kopf geworden, der ein bisschen schüchtern in die Gegend schaut. Ich hoffe natürlich sehr, dass er euch gefällt und freue mich auf eure Kommentare. Mit dieser Anleitung verabschiede ich mich für eine Sommerpause. Ich brauche dringend etwas Zeit, um neue Inspiration zu finden und natürlich auch, um neue Anleitungen zu entwickeln. Ab September gibt …

Freie Häkelanleitung: Frühlingsfee Amigurumi-Puppe häkeln

Es ist nun schon ein paar Wochen her, dass mich eine Email von Feli von http://talu.de erreichte. Sie schrieb mir, dass auf ihrer Do-it-yourself-Plattform ein Frühlingswettbewerb für Häkelsüchtige veranstaltet würde. Ob ich nicht dabei sein wolle? Na, und ob! Das ließ ich mir natürlich nicht entgehen. Auf meine Antwortemail hin, schickte Feli mir sofort das Starter-Paket. Zweimal Baumwollmischgarn von Fischer Wolle war darin – eines in grün, eines in beige – eine wunderschöne Bambushäkelnadel und ein Säckchen mit Knöpfen. Als ich die beigefarbene Wolle sah, war für mich sofort klar, dass daraus eine Puppe werden sollte. Und da ich schon lange mal …

Free Crochet Pattern: Baby Pegasus or winged Unicorn Amigurumi

I did not really plan to publish a pattern for the little sidekick I made for my entry to last years amigurumi design contest, but then, some of you asked me how to do the little baby Pegasus. Some others searched via Google for a Pegasus pattern. Of course I am very happy to see, that you really liked the little fellow. So here finally comes a pattern, which you can also use for doing a winged Unicorn. Have fun!

Free Crochet Pattern: Children’s Cat Pillow Pixelgraph (C2C Crochet)

I have been thinking about crocheting motives for some time already. I made a blanket for my son once. It is made with dc only and it was quite hard to do the color changes neatly. In fact, it wasn’t really possible and so the blanket ended up in the cupboard most of the time. Then I stumbled upon c2c or pixel crochet and was immediately impressed. Suddenly all possibilities of doing nice motives opend up again. Today, I want to share my very first own design of a pixel graph. It shows the face of a baby cat and …

Free Crochet Pattern: Superhero-Amigurumi insired by Antman

I just love the Marvel superheroes and one of my special favourites is Antman. You don’t know him? Well, go watch the movie, it’s hilarious. It’s not only a nice action moveie, but it is also quite funny, so I bet you’ll love it (and no, this is not a sponsored post but an absolutely not-paid-for opinion). I am sure, once you have watched that movie you will want to crochet your own Antman and then, here you go, you already have it on hand! So, I hope you’ll like it as much as I do and here we go:

Searching for crocheters to test some patterns

I am working on a whole crochet family at the moment and thinking about trying something new. I would like to work with some fellow crocheters who try out my patterns, before I release them. If you would like to get some free crochet patterns for these dolls before anybody else does or know someone who would like to test them for me, please let my know here or via pm. I would also be very thankful if you would share this post.
