Instructions for the Women's Power Sock 2025

Crocheted amigurumi fruits for the children’s kitchen

Fruity, fresh and fantastic: a well-stocked fruit shelf is an absolute must in any play shop. Classic crocheted fruits that every child is sure to like are our crocheted apple and crocheted pear. Crocheting fruit is very easy with our step-by-step instructions.

Amigurumi watermelon

Next comes a summery fruit: our crocheted watermelon reminds us of holidays, beach and sea. Would you like a small slice, or rather half a melon? The choice is yours, because in our free crochet pattern you will find step-by-step instructions for both versions. So everyone can find the product they want in the play shop.

Crochet pattern for amigurumi strawberries

Summer season is strawberry season. We did not need to be told twice and crocheted the sweet fruits. Mmm, these crochet strawberries are delicious, and they are sure to be a highlight in the play shop. Quickly grab a crochet hook and our free amigurumi pattern, and the fruity crochet fun can begin.

Amigurumi cupcake with strawberries - also ideal as a pincushion

Attention all sweet tooths: to match the sugar-sweet strawberries, we created a muffin amigurumi. Our crocheted strawberry cupcake not only looks temptingly delicious, it is much more than just a crocheted sweet treat. This sugar-sweet dessert fits perfectly among all the delicious crocheted fruit in the play shop, and the crocheted cake is sure to attract plenty of customers too :)
PS: the crocheted dessert is also ideal as a pincushion for your handicraft paradise. A delicious amigurumi that supports you while sewing, knitting and crocheting.

Crocheted chocolates for the children’s kitchen

Because there is always room for sweets, our homemade crocheted chocolates join the delicious crochet cupcake. Honestly, with five exquisite varieties in total, it is impossible to decide which crocheted dessert you would like to taste first. Amigurumi that turn the in-house confectionery into a highlight. And the handmade chocolates let your creativity run free. Should it be dark chocolate or white confectionery? Which decoration should be added to the crocheted chocolates?

Crocheted key rings as lucky charms

What could go better with homemade crocheted chocolates than crisply baked fortune cookies? May we introduce our cookie amigurumi for all crunch fans. In our free crochet pattern, you will find the step-by-step instructions so that you too can soon offer sugar-sweet fortune cookie amigurumi in your play shop. A handmade unique piece that not only tastes unique, but also brings a portion of luck to the shop.

Amigurumi pumpkin crochet pattern

After sweet comes savoury. Tadaaa, how about a crocheted pumpkin? In the play shop, it is sure to be a bestseller not only at Halloween. With the help of our lovingly crocheted pumpkin amigurumi, children can learn about more pumpkin recipes, from pumpkin soup to baked pumpkin and pumpkin risotto. Learning about pumpkins has never been easier than through play in the shop.

Crocheted pretzel

For everyone who occasionally prefers something hearty, we have a traditional breakfast for you. A hearty pretzel and white sausage made from wool are no longer only a highlight during Oktoberfest season. This duo of tasty sausages and crispy baked goods is part of the basics, especially here in Bavaria. We think they are the perfect crochet products for your play shop. With our free DIY instructions, our crocheted pretzel and crocheted white sausage amigurumi will soon be part of your shop assortment too.

Which yarn for crocheting amigurumi?

Most of these fabulous treats, except for the white sausage and pretzel amigurumi, were crocheted from our bestselling cotton yarn Cotton Quick uni. A fascinating colour palette with 45 bright colours is ideal for appealing crochet projects for the play shop. The yarn is wonderfully easy to work with and has a unique shine, because this pure cotton yarn has been mercerised and gassed. This gives it not only its shimmer, but also its unique durability.
Another cotton yarn that is ideal for crocheting amigurumi is our Cotton Fun. It impresses with its naturally matte character and is fantastic to crochet. A total of 24 shades are waiting to be turned into your next crochet project.
Both Cotton Quick uni and Cotton Fun have undergone no fewer than two strict testing procedures. In addition to OEKO-TEX® certification, they have also been tested according to the European Toy Standard DIN EN 71-3. Saliva-resistant, toy-safe and long-lasting: the perfect wool for crocheting amigurumi and crochet figures for children.

Precious amigurumi for years to come

We at Gründl are firmly convinced that all crocheted amigurumi for the play shop are wonderful learning products. Fruit, vegetables, sweets or savoury treats: every single play-shop amigurumi conveys valuable knowledge through play. Behind every crocheted unique piece is a wealth of know-how that can be taught to the youngest members of the family, from colours to the season and place where each fruit grows, and even traditions connected with the respective crocheted treats.
Another plus point is the feel of the crocheted play-shop amigurumi. They are soft and supple, for harmonious play experiences without any risk of injury. In addition, the amigurumi crocheted from Cotton Quick uni are very durable. Long-lasting foods that will never pass their best-before date.
On your crochet hook, get set, go: all these handmade crocheted play-shop unique pieces are the perfect gift idea for a birthday, school start or as a small little present in between.

We would like to further support this campaign and will therefore donate for every green* sock yarn ordered from the Gründl online shop between February 4th and March 4th, 2025. 100% of the proceeds will go to the German Association for Gynecological Cancers (Verein für Gynäkologische Krebserkrankungen Deutschland e.V.).
