Crochet ideas for the children's room
Every year we design the green women's power sock, and this year Claudia from the knitting design team came up with an exciting pattern that is also a lot of fun to knit.
The most beautiful crochet projects for the nursery
Crochet pattern for a children's stool
Hard to believe, but true - handmade children's stools can be used in so many different ways. Every painting table needs the right seat. Then craft and colouring sessions can begin right away. A stool is also essential for getting dressed, whether it is shoes or a jacket. Of course, it can also be used for play - today the stool is a royal throne, tomorrow it becomes a car seat on the racetrack. We are in love with this wonderful decorative element, which wins you over at first glance with its look and, at second glance, offers countless possibilities. Children are creative and can live that out perfectly with this. Our children's stool is also cuddly soft and, crocheted by you, a true one-of-a-kind piece.
Crochet pattern for a soft patterned children's rug
Our definition of a rug: a cosy place to play, sleep, cuddle and dream. We are simply impressed by all the positive qualities a floor covering can bring. That is why our cosy rug was created from the effect yarn Funny uni and Funny color with a colour gradient straight from the ball. The free pattern for a crocheted rug is ideal for beginners and will not only make children's eyes light up. Your unique piece is sure to become an eye-catcher and a splash of colour in the nursery.
PS: The crocheted rug is also ideal as a gift, regardless of the child's age. It can also be used as a soft changing mat.
Free pattern for crocheted animals
May we introduce: our two loyal companions, Teddy with matching heart cushion and the plush toy Zebra Zottel. These two crocheted cuddly animals have been waiting to be hugged tightly. And what would a nursery be without cuddly toys? Phew - we do not even want to imagine it. We would rather bring life into our little ones' rooms with our crocheted plush toys. With our free patterns for crocheted animals, you can create your child's favourite animal in no time.

Free German crochet elephant pattern
Our crocheted Elephant Emil made from cuddly-soft chenille yarn Funny uni is simply adorable. With his loving look, he puts a smile on all our faces. You can easily download the amigurumi elephant pattern for free. With his impressive size, he is the ideal gift idea as a cuddly toy.
Crochet a curtain monkey
A dream for every nursery is surely our new clip-on monkey, because thanks to his long legs and arms he can hold directly onto the nursery curtain and is both playmate and nursery decoration in one.
Crocheted cuddle blanket for the nursery
PS: All yarns used for our crocheted cuddly toys are OEKO-TEX® certified and tested according to the toy standard DIN EN 71-3. That means nothing stands in the way of extensive cuddle time. Kind to the skin, saliva-resistant and tested for harmful substances - our DIY crocheted animals are safe for children. Take a look at our related blog article. There you will find all the important information about toy-safe wool and yarns. As you can see, crocheting cuddly toys yourself is not that difficult. With the right yarn and a free crochet pattern, a sweet little crocheted animal will soon be waiting for you.
Ready, set, decorate!
Which nursery decoration will you choose? How will you turn the nursery into a cosy play oasis? Perhaps one or two patterns are also perfect as a creative project to make together with your child. In any case, we wish you lots of fun and are, of course, always happy to see photos of your finished result.
