crochet

In this section of my website, I will add my finished crochet projects. I don't know how exactly I will review the patterns, since a lot of the time I cannot really remember the process (my brain turns off while crafting lol) but I will definitely add notes if I see or feel like something's odd about the pattern I followed. I will try to add which yarns I used and how much time it took for me to make the project. I think I am a slow crocheter and I also rarely time my projects, so it'll really be a "if I want to" thing. I will definitely link to the pattern so you can click on the photo and also have a look at it. Obviously paid patterns will lead to the page where I bought them and I will not repost any patterns, only link to the original source. If any link is broken, please contact me.

♥ amigurumi ♥

baby yoda/grogu

Pattern from: sweet softies on ravelry
Yarns used: friends cotton 8/4 from hobbi in colors nougats (09), walnut(15) and sage(114)
notes: none

cthulu

Pattern from: momsstitchetti
Yarns used: BAMBI from Katia in colors whitish green (328) and emerald (338)
notes: I didn't buy any eyes, I just crocheted two flat in the round circles and sewed these on. There's also a Mothman in this pattern I wanna make some day, but grrrrr black fuzzy yarn is so hard to see correctly

dog

Pattern from: DIY fluffies
Yarns used: BAMBI from Katia in colors camel (306), dark jeans (334 and chocolate brown (343)
notes: I make two of these in blue hues every 2-3 months for my neighbor's dog, since the dog is a bit older and can't rip into regular stuffies anymore. He can rip these crocheted ones easily apart tho and it gives him a lot of satisfaction

highland cow

Pattern from: knotsandsnuggles on etsy
Yarns used: biba from Manor in the color orange for the body.novella from Manor in the colors white and camel for the hoofs and horns.
notes:I made the hair differently than written in the pattern and added an additional row of hair to make her look fluffier

R.E.P.O. character

Pattern from: Gigigurumis Gt on YouTube
Yarns used:some cheap Tedi (dollar tree-esque store in Germany) yarn that was super slippery and hard to work with, I do not recommend omg
notes: I chose green because that's the color my brother chooses when he plays R.E.P.O. with his friends and I gave it to him as a christmas gift. It was very easy to make and I like the structure the cardboard gives the character.

turtle

Pattern from: loops and love crochet
Yarns used:friends cotton 8/4 from hobbii in the colors hint of nougat (09), capucciono (10) and sage (114)
notes: none

unicorn keychain

Pattern from: howtomakes
Yarns used:friends cotton 8/4 from hobbii in the colors white(01 and beige(05) and verious different colors for the mane
notes: this one was super easy to make and it turns out super tiny but somehow it's also really recognisable.

green wolf

Pattern from: spin a yarn crochet
Yarns used:friends cotton 8/4 from hobbii in the colors beige (05) and sage (114)
notes: This is theoretically a fox pattern but I think when you pick any color that isn't warm like red, orange or yellow, it looks like a wolf.

bouquet of tulips

Pattern from: hookok
Yarns used:friends cotton 8/4 from hobbii in the colors hint of pink (50), lavender (733), jungle green (111) and white (01)
notes: they were kind of difficult to put together because I used hotglue and I wanted the seams to be as nice as possible. So there's more to it than just crochet and sewing.

tulip egg warmer

Pattern from: etsy
Yarns used: I have to be honest, I cannot remember the yarn because it's the very first pattern I bought and actually followed about two years ago.
notes: I remember the green part being kind of fiddly to make.

tablerunner

Pattern from: found on Pinterest
Yarns used: cotton yarn I found at a local gardening store
notes: none

♥ patterns and resources ♥

I would like to share some websites, videos and books I use when I crochet. There are tons of free pattern websites and places to get various infos.

    websites

  • initiative-handarbeit.de: A german website with a lot of free patterns, not only for sewing but also knitting, crochet and embroidery as well as a few other techniques. you can either directly read the pattern on the website or print it out for yourself. They also have an encyclopedia on their website to help you with various terms. There sadly is no English translation.
  • yarnsub.com: If you found a pattern that uses a certain type of yarn and you don't really wanna have to go on the hunt for a yarn that is more accessible for you, then this website is super helpful. As the name might preface, when you enter a certain brand and type of yarn, it'll recommend some suitable substitutions. This is super helpful for me since there are a lot of things that aren't shipped into Switzerland, and I can then look for yarns that are.
