Magic Ring and other tutorials

Recently I got asked how to start the first round of your Amigurumi. In my patterns I use a method called "Magic Ring". This is a special method that helps you prevent the tiny hole in the center that you normally get when starting with ch 2.

I don't have the time to make up and post my own tutorials but I have made a list of useful tutorials for making Amigurumis (incl. the "Magic Ring") from other crocheteers - to find this list you can...

• use the link on the right of this site named "Tutorials & Information" OR
• search for a special tag on the upper right of this site (where the tiny blue bird is)
  (e.g. search for "magic ring" or "tutorial") OR
• simply click here to view all posts with interesting informations: Tutorials & Information.

Happy crocheting!

Dragon and Bunnies

Here are some more little cuties made by YOU!

Today I want to show you the adorable Little Dragon (I love the eyelids!) and the two sweet Snow Bunnies that were created by Jolanda from Switzerland.

Thank you for sharing them with us!

Errata - Busy Bee pattern

A mistake has been found in the pattern for the "Busy Bee":
Tiny Bag for pollen: In Rounds 4-9 the total number of stitches should be 18 (not 12)

The corrected version of the pattern has been emailed to all buyers. If you have purchased this pattern and didn't receive this email, please contact me! Thank you! :)

A list of corrected errors for all my patterns can be found here:

Lucky Ladybug & Tiny Turtle - Amigurumi Pattern

I've been crocheting as busy as a bee within the last days and working on a new pattern. It turned out to be my second favorite insect: a tiny ladybug! And because it will bring luck and joy to your home I called it "Lucky Ladybug".

When working on the pattern I thought that the shape would also be very nice for a cute little baby turtle... So this pattern comes with instructions for the Lucky Ladybug and the Tiny Turtle! The little turtle baby looked a bit naked on its head, so I decided to give it a sweet white cap...

Hope you like this two little critters!

The pattern is now available in my shops: Etsy | DaWanda | Ravelry

It has been tested carefully by Ann (chessie) - take a look at her Lucky Ladybug!

Busy Bee - Amigurumi Pattern

Tataaa! Here she is - the little Busy Bee! :)

All day long she is flying from flower to flower, collecting pollen and carrying it to her hive in her tiny bag.

The pattern is now available in my shops: Etsy | DaWanda | Ravelry

Thanks again to Ann (chessie) for testing this pattern for me! Here you can see a picture of her Busy Bee!

A first glance...

...at my new pattern!

I have finished my latest tiny creation and wrote down the pattern for it. The pattern is out for testing now... it will be available in my shops within the next week or so. (I will let you know!)

So it's time for lifting the secret! - It is cute... it is yellow... and it is as busy as a... BEE!

Here's my favorite picture of the little one! More coming soon... :)

New pattern in progress...

At the moment I'm working on a new pattern again!
What it will be is top secret... (*g*) but I can tell you that my favorite color YELLOW will be used extensively!

Baby Sprites

Again I browsed through all the cute pictures of the little Amigurumis that YOU have made from my patterns.

Today I want to show you the tiny Baby Sprites made by Ann (chessie)! They look so sweet together - I want to have one, no, wait, I want them all! :))

Daddy's Little Girl

Look, what a cute little daddy and daughter couple Fiber Doodles has created! They're sooo sweet! And they have such gorgeous expression! You must see them with your own eyes! :)
