Free Crochet Pattern: Medusa Amigurumi Doll Part 1

There is an annual Amigurumi Design Contest over at http://amigurumipatterns.net, which I noticed last year for the first time.

Freie Häkelanleitung: Amigurumi-Elefant

Als eine Freundin mich bat, einen Elefanten für das Baby einer Freundin zu entwerfen, war ich gleich von der Idee begeistert. Sie wollte ein nicht-geschlechtsspezifisches Spielzeug ohne Rosa oder Glitter oder anderes Chichi haben. Heraus kam dieser blaue Elefant mit großen und sanften braunen Augen. Um es babytauglich zu machen, ist es soweit möglich, an einem Stück gehäkelt, die Augen sind aufgestickt und ich empfehle waschbare, weiche Bio-Baumwolle, um das ganze perfekt zu machen. Wie immer freue ich mich, wenn dir die Anleitung gefällt. Kopf und Körper des Elefanten-Amigurumi 1. R: 6 FM in magischen Ring2. R: jede M verdoppeln …
