A round, flat-bottomed little lovebug to sit on a table or in the palm of your hand :)

A pudgy, flat-bottomed bear to sit on a table or in the palm of your hand :smiley:

Who hasn’t always wanted to crochet a moray eel? I’ve loved them since I saw Flotsam and Jetsam in The Little Mermaid :)

To make these two bugs you need:

To make this you need:

Who wouldn’t want their very own Axolotl? These guys are popoular as pets, but this crocheted one is even better! No food costs or vet bills, and absolutely no maintenance required, plus you can take it with you wherever you go :)

This is a very quick and simple pattern for an adorable little bunny that can be made in any bright color you want :) It just reminds me of a jellybean. (I really love jellybeans!)

So what would you call these things? Octopuses with too many arms? Mutant squid? Radioactive jellyfish? Or some kind of alien monsters?

This pattern is based on the European honey bee, Apis mellifera, and is complete with little pollen baskets on its back legs. Everything it needs to make honey :)

Crochet your own tardigrade! Also known as water bears or moss piglets, these critters are usually the size of a grain of sand and are found in wet environments almost everywhere on earth. If only we could see them with the naked eye… This guy is huge, over 30cm long and 25cm wide, and perfect for cuddles. Great for anyone who has ever wanted a...

The main body of the jellyfish is made as two parts and then sewn together. The entire pattern is written, but the sail (the top part) has a chart as well. You know, just in case :)

The chart is only for clarification of the colorchanges in the bell of the jellyfish and does not cover the entire pattern. The increases had to be moved around a bit to make the red stripes straight. Also note that some of the increases are made with two different colors. This might increase the difficulty level a little, but it’s not really a...

The pattern is based on Europe’s most common firefly, Lampyris noctiluca, which is also known as the common glowworm. The males of this species are much smaller than the wing-less females, and their glow is fainter than the females’. The males buzz around and look for the glowing bums of the ladies, which is why they often get confused and fly ...

The biggest crane fly you’ve ever seen! Personally I find these guys a bit creepy - they remind me of flying spiders - but this lady is all about hugs and cuddles!

This aphid is modeled after the ones I’ve seen on my grandmother’s roses, the common green Rose aphid. Aphids come in many different colors, so this is a pattern you can experiment and have fun with :)

Ever wanted a wasp big enough to cuddle? Now you can! Don’t worry, this guy would never sting you. Just let him play in the sun a lot and he’ll be your friend for a long time :)

I have based the pattern and colors of this scorpion on a species called the Deathstalker scorpion (Leiurus quinquestriatus), which lives in Northern Africa and the Middle East. It is concidered to be a very dangerous scorpion, but most often the sting is only very painful for healthy adults. I can assure you that this crocheted version is comp...

I have used Bernat’s glow-in-the-dark yarn to make this, but that yarn is listed as optional in the pattern, as I understand it is not readily available anymore.

Includes pattern for Great Big Ball of Dung :) By attaching pieces of Velcro to the beetle’s back legs and abdomen the beetle can hold on to the ball as if rolling it
