I made this little guy for a baby. I modified the pattern from Selena K's Aquarias Kitten to post here (with permission) to make him a dog. I also made a couple other changes to the arms and muzzle.

To secure the eyes and nose for the baby to not eat them, I also sewed the buttons with needle and thread.

On my dog, I made the tail too long but didn't feel like remaking it, so for posting the pattern I shortened it.

The original Aquarius Kitten pattern:

Where I got the ears idea, changed a bit.
The Darn Cat Whatsit: http://darncatcrochet.blogspot.com/2007/10/whatsit-free-pattern_12.html

Any yarn will do. I used four different colors.
One main color for the body, a second color for the paws, and then a third and fourth color for the collar with tag.

F-5 crochet hook (3.75 mm)

Polyester Fiberfill

Yarn needles

Needle and black thread

Three buttons: two for eyes and a black one for the nose

About 8 inches I think? I already gave him a way.

I made the stitches tight so it wouldn't slowly die from the abuse of a small child.

I want to decorate my kitchen with strawberries. That´s why I needed a berry-like grocery bag. Here it is, one of my very first patterns

Yarn: Schachenmayr, nomotta, “Catania“, Llg. 125 Meter/ 50 Gramm
50 gram red, 100 gram green

hook: size 3,5 (european size)

as you wish, netting will stretch

no gauge needed, make bag as big as you want (keep in mind it will stretch a lot)

ch=chain
sl=slipstitch
sc=single crochet
dc=double crochet
tc=triple crochet

Bottom (red):
4 ch, with sl in first ch make a ring
Begin every round with 3 ch instead of first dc and end with sl in 3nd ch of round
round 1: 3 ch , 12 dc in ring,
round 2: work in dc, in every 2nd dc of round 1 make 2 dc.
round 3: work in dc, in every 3rd dc of round 2 make 2 dc.
round 4: from round 4 to 9 increase dc by making 2 dc in 4th, 5th … dc of round before (easy, eh?)
round 10: dc in every stitch with no increases.

“leaves” (green):
(the leaves are optional, if you don’t like them continue with “bag”)

round 1: *10 ch, make sl in 5th dc of round 10*, repeat * to *
round 2: around every ch-loop of round 1 make: 1 sc, 3 dc, 3 tc, 3 dc, 1 sc

(For the orange version of the bags I made 2 rounds like round 1, that gives a more fuzzy effect)

Bag (green):
round 1:
Make the “tunnel” for the draw string:
3 ch (for 1st dc), *1 dc in 2nd dc of round 10 of bottom (the 2 rounds of the “leaves“ are not continued any further!), 1 ch*, Repeat from * to *
round 2: 3 ch (for 1st dc), 5 ch, 1 sc around next ch of round below, *5 ch, 1 sc into second dc of round below, 5 ch, 1 sc second dc of round below*, repeat from * to *.
Repeat Row 2 until bag is the desired size: Around each ch-loop work one sc followed by 5 ch, 5 ch, 1 sc, and so on.

The bag will be very stretchy, so you only need to make a bag with 2/3 of desired size.

If you want to get a bigger bag, work 7 ch instead of the 5 ch loops.

Edge:
round 1(green) : 3 ch (for 1st dc), *2 dc around ch-loop, 1 dc into sc of round before*, repeat from *to*, finish round with sl into 3rd ch of beginning.

Leaves on top (green) (these are optional, if you don´t want leaves on top, continue with round 2 of edge:)
round 1 leaves: 8 ch, 1 sl in 4th sc of round below, repeat

round 2 leaves: around each ch-loop work 1sc, 3 dc, 4 tc, 3dc, 1sc
(or work a second round like round 1 for fuzzy effect)

Continue working next round into first round of edge ( in red)
If there is already a stitch in the round below (from the leaves), work second stitch in same stitch:
round 2: 3 ch, 1 dc in each sc of round below, finish round with sl in 3rd ch of beginning
round 3-4: 3 ch, 1 dc in each dc of round below, finish round with sl in 3rd ch of beginning

Handles (red):
Lay bag flat to half, 4 centimeter from right edge work 5 sc on upper edge, continue in rows until desired length, fix handle 4 centimeter from left edge.
Work second handle the same way

Make a draw string: Make a ch ribbon 80 centimeter long and work sl over the complete length. Pull thread through the “tunnel” of round 1 bag. Attach a Drawstring Slide, available at a Notions Counter or Fabric Store

I have translated this pretty easy pattern as good as I could.. If anything is not clear or wrong, please feel free to contact me and leave a comment. I enjoy postive feedback as well ;-)

This little guy has been all around the internet creating all sorts of problems. From what I can tell his little shinanigans are not over yet. Inspired by a gnome crochet pattern I came across years ago but is now lost in webspace.

I've been crocheting a lot of animals lately and technically since they are all crocheted in the round they are called Amigurumi. So here goes my Owl Amigurumi pattern. Now this pattern is for the basic body. You can add whatever you will to make this owl YOURS. I added easy hot glued google eyes, little crochet wings, crocheted talons and because I had it at the time a maple leaf nose. (I now add a felt nose)

You'll need some scraps of Each color you will be using as well as an F or G crochet hook.
(In the picture I used Sage Red Heart 4ply acrylic Yarn. )

If you will be crocheting the wings, talons, and eyes you will need more.

For an Owl exactly like that in the picture:
Sage Yarn
Chocolate Yarn
Fiber Fill
Tapestry Needle
Google Eyes
Hot Glue/gun
Felt (nose)

The size depends on your needle size and yarn thickness. In this version I used a size G needle and 4ply acrylic yarn. It is 3 inches High and about about 2.5 inches stuffed.

Gauge is not important for this project.

Talons are crocheted in one piece and then hotglued or sewn to the bottom of the Owl.
