Crochet for beginners and advanced crocheters

Crazypatterns has instructions for every level. Start with the easiest pieces, which consist of a few colours and no pattern. Later on you can try more difficult patterns and large pieces that are made up of several crocheted parts.

Cuddly animals and hand puppets

From babies to teenagers, children love cuddly toys. Some of them even become lifelong companions that are later passed on to their own offspring. It doesn't take much for a cuddly toy to become a favourite item in a child's room. It should be cuddly and cute, but sometimes children also love a cool or scary version.

With our crochet patterns for children's motifs and patterns you can create a variety of cuddly animals of all kinds. Either pure fantasy creatures or very concrete animals that always go down well with the kids. You can make them even cuter by adding eyes and other details.

Small plays, on the other hand, can be performed with little hand puppets, for example in a home-made children's theatre. You can crochet all kinds of hand puppets. You can even make a set with different characters to encourage the child to play creative roles.

Hot water bottle cover

Children have tummy aches from time to time, whether it's because of grief, fear or a stomach or intestinal illness. You can easily remedy this with a small hot water bottle, which becomes even more individual and cosy with a crochet cover. With the instructions for crocheting children's motifs and patterns, you can add animal motifs or other elements to covers.

Children's apron

Whether it's for cooking in the children's kitchen or helping out in the parents' kitchen - you can give the little ones a great treat with a chic children's apron. It can be decorated with different baking or cooking motifs. Christmas designs are also popular. Use our crochet instructions for children's motifs and patterns to create the best children's aprons.

Horse leash

Taming a cute rocking horse is easy for kids with a horse leash. You can crochet the leash with halter not only for toy horses, but also for other large cuddly animals such as dogs. With bright colours and realistic designs of the instructions for crocheting motifs and patterns for children, using the leash is especially fun.

Doll accessories

Children love dolls in all variations, whether cute and sweet or rather creative - you can let your creativity run free with the Pup pend design. Thanks to crochet patterns for children, you can create very detailed dolls with small details, cute googly eyes and funny crochet hairstyles. You can also accessorise the dolls with crochet clothes and accessories of your choice.

Balls to play with

Hard balls are often unsuitable for small children. Much softer and great for playing with are crocheted balls, which you can make in different sizes. You can crochet them in one colour or in the classic look of a football - with crochet patterns and motifs for children you can create all kinds of ball designs. Depending on the filling material, the balls will then become a little harder or softer. The very small designs are also suitable as stress balls for kneading. For children, for example, who can concentrate better and reduce stress at school with such a ball in their hands.

(Reversible) cushion

Whether for cuddling or sleeping - a soft pillow always goes down well with children. You can make small and large cushions with instructions for crocheting children's motifs and patterns and add soft filling material. Alternatively, you can take a ready-made cushion of your choice and crochet a matching cover. With beautiful motifs or the child's name, the cushion becomes even more individual. Reversible cushions can be used in a variety of ways. If you turn this cushion around, it gets a new look.

Hat and gloves

Whether it's a hat for cold days in spring and autumn or a pom-pom hat for winter - with our crochet patterns for children's motifs and patterns you can create the right headwear for every season. Or even gloves to keep your child's hands warm in all weathers. All designs are permitted for hats and gloves - from classic or funny to Christmas-themed designs, everything is here.

Headbands

Whether it's to enhance your hairstyle in summer or to keep your ears and forehead warm in winter, you can always please children with a headband. The easy-to-make bands serve as creative hair accessories as well as a warming accessory in winter when you don't want to wear a hat. There are thin and extra-wide models, headbands that button up, but also braided versions and many more.

Scarves and loops

Children should always be warmly dressed at the neck. Since they often don't like turtlenecks, scarves are a good alternative. There are numerous varieties of children's scarves, which you can quickly complete with instructions for crocheting children's motifs and patterns. A very modern variation and even easier to put on are so-called loops - these are scarves that are joined together at the ends. The loop is simply pulled over the head instead of wrapped around the neck.

Earmuffs

Children's ears stay nice and warm with a cap or, alternatively, with smart earmuffs. The earmuffs look best when you choose the colourful versions of the crochet instructions for children motifs and patterns. In bright colours, they will enhance any outfit.

Ballerinas

Girls and women love them - the cute ballerinas that look wonderfully delicate on their feet. You only need a little yarn because they are crocheted very light and airy. Ballerinas become even more individual when you add little details like bows, flowers or clasps.

Leggings

Whether as a warming layer under your trousers or as a stylish piece with a skirt - many looks are possible with leggings. Thanks to instructions for crocheting children's motifs and patterns, you can crochet leggings in different variations and sizes. Long versions are ideal for winter, while in summer leggings can be fashionable 3/4 length.
