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 …
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.
Free Crochet Pattern: Guardian Angel
I know Christmas is over and angels are not any more on the crochet to do lists of us all. But, I am sure, the moment will come, in which you absolutely need a pattern for an amigurumi angel, be it as guardian angel for a good friend or relativ or simply for yourself. This beautiful little angel is quick to do and you can easily personalize it. 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 …
Photo-Tutorial: How to embroider big comic eyes for masculin amigurumi dolls
The more amigurumi dolls I do the more I think that the eyes are one of the most crucial elements. Safety eyes are perfect for your first amigurumis as they give some live to your dolls instantly.

This is the point at which you will not come around embroidering your own eyes to your doll’s face. Today I want to show you a photo-tutorial on how you can do big comic-like eyes for masculin dolls …
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 …
