All you need is cotton yarn in a skin and hair colour of your choice and in white and, of course, a hook which is slightly too small for your yarn. This …

That was 2016
What a year! 2016 really was great for this blog and it took me by surprise that this little, rather spontaneously written blog got such attention. Alone the fact that there are some people who crochet the stuff I made up really makes me proud. But this year there actually were quite a few people doing so and this makes me so happy. As it is that time of the year, i want to take some time to look back on 2016 and show you some facts and figures about this blog. I also want to give you a quick …

Free Crochet Pattern: Santa Clause Amigurumi
It’s less than a week to go until Christmas and I finally made it to finish a pattern for a sweet little Santa Claus for you. Well, actually I made two versions, one small and one large Santa, but the numbers I provide in this pattern are for the smaller (and shorter) version. If you want to do the large Santa, you should take hook sizes 2.5 were I wrote 0.75 and 3.0 instead of 1.0. Take DK yarn which is recommended for hook sizes 3.5-4.5. From R. 27 on go on to insert two rounds inbetween the rounds with …
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. Unfortunately it was too late already to participate, so I waited all year for the new contest to begin. When the announcement finally came, I was so exited. This years theme is Amigurumi Monsters, which, to be honest, is not really a topic I worked on before. So I had to think for a long time how I could participate with a design which stands for Monsters and for the things I usually do at the same time. Finally I came …
Medusa und Pegasus in the Amigurumi Design Contest
Dear Crochetlovers, today, I want to ask you for a favour. I am taking part in the annual Amigurumi Design Contest by Amigurumipatterns.net this year for the first time. It took me weeks to design my submission and many, many evenings to realize it. Today, I proudly present to you Medusa and Baby Pegasus: Normally, Medusa is a rather cool kind of girl, but sometimes she just looses her temper. The snakes she carries on her head instead of hair awake and no one in her surrounding is safe anymore. Whoever looks at her in such a situation will turn …
Medusa und Pegasus für @Flauscheinhorn im Amigurumi Design Contest
Liebe Häkelfreunde, heute möchte ich mich einmal in eigener Sache an euch wenden. Ich nehme in diesem Jahr zum ersten Mal am Amigurumi Design Contest von Amigurumipatterns.net teil. Wochenlang habe ich überlegt und Abend für Abend gehäkelt, um ein Monster fertigzustellen, das zum flauschigen Einhorn passt. Heute präsentiere ich euch das Ergebnis: Medusa ist eigentlich ein recht cooles Mädchen, aber manchmal passiert es ihr, dass sie in Rage gerät. Dann erwachen die Schlangen auf ihrem Kopf zum Leben und niemand ist vor ihr sicher. Wer sie in diesem Zustand erblickt, erstarrt zu Stein. Wenn es ganz schlimm kommt, kann sie …
Free Crochet Pattern: Elephant Amigurumi
When a friend asked me to design an elephant for her friend’s a baby girl, I was delighted by the idea. She wanted to have a non-gendered toy without any pink or glitter or any other chichi. So I came up with this blue elephant amigurumi with big and gentle brown eyes. If you are searching for a cute toy which matches either boy or girl, you are very much welcome to do your own.
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 …
