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 …

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 …
Freie Häkelanleitung: Weihnachtsmann
Es ist der vierte Advent und so gerade ebenrechtzeitig, schaffe ich es, euch eine Anleitung für einen niedlichen gehäkelten Weihnachtsmann fertig zu machen. Ok, er sieht ein bisschen Hippsta-mäßig aus mit den wallenden Haaren und dem kurzen penibel geshavten Bart. Aber mal ehrlich: ist er nicht zauberhaft 😉 Wer es etwas weniger hippsta mag, kann die Haare weglassen und die Mütze einfach so auf den Kopf setzen. Ich habe einen großen, langen Weihnachtsmann und eine kleinen kurzen auf diese Weise gehäkelt. Die Zahlen hier gelten für den kleinen, kurzen. Wer den großen Santa häkeln möchte, nehme Nadelstärke 2,5 (mit passender …
Freie Häkelanleitung: Medusa Amigurumi Puppe Teil 1
Letztes Jahr bin ich zum ersten Mal auf den Amigurumi Design Contest von amigurumipatterns.net aufmerksam geworden. Leider zu spät um noch teilzunehmen, aber ich habe mir gleich vorgenommen, es in diesem Jahr nicht zu versäumen, einen Beitrag einzureichen. Als ich dann die Ankündigung las, war ich gleichzeitig begeistert und ein bisschen enttäuscht, denn, um ehrlich zu sein, war das diesjährige Thema „Monster“ nicht gerade eines, das mir persönlich am Herzen liegt. Vielleicht gerade deshalb habe ich mich sehr lange mit Ideen herumgeschlagen und hin- und her überlegt, was ich beitragen könnte. Es sollte etwas sein, das zu meiner bisherigen Arbeit …
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 …
