My Felt Bears (and the pattern)

Image
  I recently revisited a series of small felt bears that I originally created a few years ago. Back then, I already liked their raw and expressive look. Very simple shapes, just a few lines, but a lot of character. The blanket stitch is intentionally visible — it’s part of the drawing as much as the construction. Working on them again now, I realized I still like them just as much. They have something a bit naive, almost childlike, but with very strong expressions. That’s what made me want to turn them into a pattern. The idea stayed the same: keep it simple, accessible, no sewing machine needed, and very little material. A project you can start easily, while still having a strong visual identity. The pattern includes all the steps, with stitch diagrams and printable templates. 👉 The pattern is available here:  CocoFlower Atelier ************************************************************************ Want more patterns?  Explore all my tutorials here → Find me on Etsy a...

My Fox ring!!! My cute Plushes crochet case for smartphone

Image
  A number of years ago, I created crocheted some  mobile phone pouches in the plush shaped . Here are two new versions with handles that can be carried like little bags. The first version is a special order from my daughter. She gave me a very precise drawing, which I tried to follow to the letter 😁 colour, material, shape of the eyes. The second cover, a mini smartphone bag, is a little fox with pasta and a tail. New for these 2023 cases, in addition to the handle, they are all lined with cotton fabric to protect the phone.  ************************************************************************ Do you like my creations?
