As soon as the first flurry of snowflakes touches down they’re off to dig out their favourite sweaters and matching bobble hats before the first snowball fight begins.

You may be able to tell from looking into her kind eyes that Mayangi is a wonderfully loving and protective mom to little Matondo.

Spring Chicken Family - Amigurumi Crochet Pattern

’Roar!’ says Thomas in his scariest voice - but no one’s fooled and no one runs away. He’s really just a cute and cuddly tiger cub made out of squishy, squashy yarn who feels much more at home in a toy box than a jungle!

When the flowers start showing their cheerful little faces you will find Sheena nestled in the long grass making daisy chains to her heart’s content.

It can get very cold up in the Scottish Highlands but because of her magnificent thick coat of long ginger hair that’s never a problem for Hilda. She’s always being asked to star in shampoo commercials but, as proud as she is of her flowing locks, she’s much too busy chewing the cud and ruminating with friends to take time out to be a supermodel.

Izzy may be an Ice Dragon at heart but her heart is far from cold as Ice. Her eyes belie her kindness and if anybody ever needed a very special friend to be there for cuddles and giggles then Izzy is the one. If you made her in warmer tones she might just thaw out even more!

Pjeter and Petra Puffin are from Iceland and know a thing or two about cold weather. In the very depths of winter you will never see them nestling on the cliffs without their very stylish co-ordinated peaked caps and wrap around scarves. In the summer however, you may catch a glimpse of them as nature intended, black feathers and white puffy ch...

Eustace the Yeti and Boris the Bigfoot may be distant cousins but they are the closest of friends. Both are made from the same pattern but the color change gives them their uniqueness. Eustace lives in the Himalayas while Boris preferers the Appalachians. While it can be difficult for them to meet up in person due to their tolerance for very di...

Paulo and Paula Parrot are a chirpy pair who love puffing up their plumage to show off a fabulous froth of fluffy feathers. They like Flamenco dancing together where they really get strutt their stuff. If you asked them how they felt I’m sure they’d say they were ‘frilled’ to meet you!

These bags will help you gather up your sweet treats in true spooky style. They make a great companion and accent to any Halloween costume.

Drake is a sweet and cuddly dragon and a loyal friend to all who show him kindness. But beware! If anybody should dare to be mean to him or any of his friends he has a tendency to get a bit hot under the collar and will use his finely formed nostrils to shoot out a fireball or two as a warning. However you’ll be pleased to know that this is qui...

Gerty is a house gecko so don’t be surprised if you find her quietly minding her own business halfway up your wall. She’s naturally quite shy but if you’re lucky she might give you a little wave and a cheeky grin to show that she appreciates you sharing your home with her.

Fleur is an elegant, leggy beauty who loves to strut her stuff and show off her famously frilly feathers. With her classic proportions and impeccable plumage she can often be seen sashaying down the catwalks of London, Milan and Paris.

What’s that noise coming from under the bed? Are you brave enough to take a look? If you’re very quiet and very quick you may get to see Jeepers and Creepers staring back at you in wide-eyed wonder.

Hamish’s favorite treat is a punnet of strawberries. During the summer months he often visits the local farm to eat as many as his tummy can hold. When he’s had his fill he hoards a few away in his roomy cheek pouches and scampers back to his cage to bury them in his bedding - just in case he feels the need for a midnight snack. If he feels lik...

Cyrus and his buddies can often be heard playing their favorite game - ‘I Spy With My Little Eye’. Although there is actually nothing very little about their eyes in proportion to their bodies, they like the fact that I Spy is always played with reference to just the one eye, of which they are each a proud owner.

Bobbin is a sweet and simple to crochet bear. A great pattern for beginners and a breeze for seasoned crocheters. I call him my four hour bear because that’s how long he takes to make from start to finish (though if I went full steam ahead I reckon I could make one in closer to three). This bear looks great in stripes or in a plain block of col...

Christmas is such a busy time and you probably need all the help you can get. With that thought in mind why not crochet up some little helpers in the form of these colorful elves?

Orwell the Orangutan is a cheerful, cheeky, baby ape who loves to fool around. Swinging from trees and eating satsumas are among his favorite things to do.
