♥ Cute’n’Cuddly series ♥

Giacomo Gecko loves flies - but not for dinner! :)

This PDF crochet pattern includes detailed instructions and pictures to help you create this little gecko and his tiny fly friends.

Like all other figures from the “Cute’n’Cuddly”-series - the the figure was designed to feel particularly soft, fluffy and cuddly. In this series no craft eyes or other materials which could be choking hazards for small children are used, so the little soft critters can be the perfect pal for little babies as well!

Note: When you leave out making the tail (and maybe the nostrils, too) - Giacomo will be a cute little FROG! :)

Skills level: easy.
Required skills:

  • starting the round with an adjustable ring (“Magic Ring”)
  • work in the round (continuous spirals)
  • change colors
  • increases with single crochet
  • decreases with single crochet
  • stitches: chain, slip stitch, single crochet
  • stuff parts with filling
  • sew openings close, sew parts together (join parts)
  • basic embroidery skills (eyes, belly button)

Languages at choice:
* Deutsch

Measures:
The gecko on the cover picture is about 21 cm (8 1/2 inches) tall from top to toe, the tail is about 13 cm (5 inches) long. The little fly friends are about 5 cm (2 inches) tall. DK 8-ply acrylic yarn and hook size 3.5 mm were used for making them. (When using worsted weight yarn it will turn out a bit bigger than that.) Please note: Finished size and shape will always depend on crochet style, yarn type and hook size.
