  2. I am loving ALL your patterns, have already made few of them for Great Granddaughter and she loves them and plays with them all the time! The Only problem I am having now, is trying to figure out which one to make next/
    I have a question for YOU, do you have or can You come up with a boy doll with a Strawberry Theme? He is only 4 years old but loves playing with stuffed toys and loves Strawberries, so I would really appreciate any feedback on this as I would like to make something like this for Him. Thank You in advance.

  8. I love all these patterns I have almost everyone of them for my kids they are just so cute and quick to make thank you for sharing the patterns with everyone I can’t wait to make some more

  10. I am a beginner and i am trying to understand the muzzle part. Do you have images on how to go on the muzzle in spiral? I don’t quite understand how to make it the way it looks in your finished product. An image of the stitches after the chain and then a few rows later would help!

    Thank you!

    • You are more than welcome to sell finished crochet toys made with the help of our patterns, giving a credit to our website, but no more than 50 items per month 🙂

  13. Thank you for your beautiful free patterns , I have just made the cuddly hippo . I found the muzzle a bit small the pattern says 3 rows but when I look at your sample I can see 4 rows . I am making a second one and will try 4 rows on the muzzle . I have enjoyed making the cuddly dancing hippo.

  14. Totally loved it, made it but in pink and it got mistaken for a pig so I slightly changed her snout and ears and added a curly tail. It was a fail on my side but she looks adorable both ways!!! 😍 thank you for the pattern I really REALLY loved it 😊

  19. Hi!
    Lovely pattern so far 🙂
    I’m starting now the body. How are we supposed to add the skirt if in round 10 we work on both loops? Is it better to, when on that round, make the skirt and then continue with the body or should we first do the whole body and then do the skirt? If second choice, how are we going to know were to do it?
    Best regards,
    Mercè

  20. Many thanks for this amazing pattern! I’m just finishing of the body and will attempt the skirt next. I’m an absolute beginner and unfortunately don’t understand how to start the skirt. How do I make 2dc in the same stitch? Is that in the second stich of the 2ch? For the 3 dc do I go all the way around again?

  23. Hi!! beautiful pattern!! I am having problems crocheting the body, I don’t understand how the body stay open as I am crocheting, because mine only the part with he legs has an opening for stuffing. Can you help me?

    • Hi Luisa, which round is difficult? The body is started after both legs are finished. You just need to join them together and crochet around both legs at the same time in accordance with the pattern.

  25. I started crocheting 4 days ago and I’m literally “hooked”. This will be my first large project.
    Your instructions are very easy to follow and your photos help a lot; and although I could read the latter just fine on the site, I will buy the PDF file to support your generosity!
    Thanks!!!

  43. Muito obrigada por tanta generosidade, amo fazer, e mesmo não podendo pagar, as instrução da pagina é maravilhosa!! nessa do hipopótamo eu só tive duvida quanto ao 8 pontos da 4ª carreiras mais deduzi e deu tudo certo!! Parabéns! amo vcs

    • Hi Desa 🙂 You can view the patterns for free on our website and mobile app. PDF version itself is not free. Because it takes a lot of time to prepare the patterns. So, in spite of this fact all people who can’t pay for PDF patterns can view them on the website and make wonderful toys. We don’t hide the instructions. Hope for your understanding 🙂
