Monodelphis domestica, the gray short-tailed opossum, is a South American marsupial (not to be confused with the North American Didelphis virginiana). They are superficially similar in appearance to mice and rats, but have a shorter tail, bigger ears and a longer nose. They are often used as a laboratory model organism for studies of the immune...

Have you ever felt lonely and wished for a friend who could always be with you? Cymothoa exigua, AKA tongue-eating louse, is a parasitic isopod (a relative of woodlice) which enters fish through the gills and severs the blood vessels in the fish’s tongue, causing the tongue to fall off. It then attaches itself to the remaining stub of the tongu...

Wooper is a Water and Ground type Pokémon, with a design inspired by the axolotl. It was originally introduced in Pokémon Gold & Silver in 1999. In April 2020 a demo version of the games was leaked, revealing a number of beta versions of Pokemon designs including Wooper. The unused design is cute and chubby- somewhat resembling the popular ...

This cheeky rat thief was inspired by the Skaven sack rat in the video game ‘Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide’, who is notorious for stealing loot and running away with it.

My original Absol pattern was the first ever pattern I designed myself many years ago. As one of my favourite Pokémon I felt that it was due for an upgrade.

Caenorhabditis elegans is a transparent worm about 1 mm in length that lives in soil. The name is a blend of the Greek caeno- (recent), rhabditis (rod-like) and Latin elegans (elegant). C. elegans has been used as a model organism in scientific research since 1963. It was chosen because it is one of the simplest organisms with a nervous system,...

Escherichia coli is a bacterium that is commonly found in human intestines. Most E. coli strains are harmless, but some can cause serious food poisoning in their hosts. E. coli is frequently used as a model organism in microbiology studies.

Arabidopsis thaliana, AKA thale cress or mouse-ear cress, is a small flowering plant native to Eurasia and Africa which is generally considered to be a weed.

Xenopus is a genus of African Clawed Frogs, from which the two best-known species are Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis.

There are plenty of crochet patterns for mice already in existence. However, I wanted to make one which is supposed to be more anatomically accurate. For this reason, there is a lot of shaping in this pattern, to form the different body parts.

The yeast species Saccharomyces cerevisiae is famously used in the production of bread and beer. However, it is also very important model organism in genetics and cell biology research.

Drosophila melanogaster, also known as fruit flies or vinegar flies, are commonly used for scientific research because they are easy to keep in the laboratory, have a fast lifecycle and lay many eggs, and have a relatively simple genome containing only 4 pairs of chromosomes. In spite of this, about 60% of genes are conserved between humans and...

This scarf is intended to fit an infant, young child or doll.

Skiploom is a grass and flying type Pokémon. Its design is based on a bulb and flower, but to me it looks a bit like a dog with those big spaniel ears. I was commissioned to make a Skiploom about the same size as it is supposed to be in the games. I couldn’t believe how big this Pokémon is! So I used Super Chunky weight yarn to cheat a little –...

Ti’zo is a character from the video game Pyre. He is a Drive-Imp, which looks like a cross between an owl and a bat.

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is an important and widely used vertebrate model organism in scientific research. It is particularly notable for its regenerative abilities, and is commonly used for studies of vertebrate development and gene function.

This is my attempt to make an accurate-to-life crochet tarantula.

This pattern is based off the iconic peeper fish from the game Subnautica.

This pattern is based off the Cuddlefish from Subnautica, specifically when it is still inside its egg.

Anubis is an Egyptian god with the form of a jackal or wolf. Depicted as a protector of graves and associated with mummification and embalming, one of his prominent roles was to usher souls into the afterlife.

Ma’at was the ancient Egyptian goddess in control of the stars, seasons, and the actions of mortals and deities. One of her responsibilities was to weigh the souls of the recently deceased against her feather, to determine if the dead could enter the afterlife.

Patamon is (in my opinion) the cutest Digimon, looking something like a guinea pig with bat wing ears. Unfortunately he is not very useful in battle… until he finally learns to Digivolve into Angemon.

Risk of Rain is an indie video game incorporating platforming and roguelike elements, developed by Hopoo Games. Acrid is my favourite character because he has two skills that do damage over time, plus a strong melee attack and a ranged attack, which make him fun to play as. And of course, because he is cute.

I designed this for a friend who loves Earl Grey tea, and I put some Bergamot oil in it to make it smell right. You could also add Jasmine, Orange, Lavender oil etc to remind you of your favourite flavoured tea. Or just make a friendly teacup to greet you each morning.

The ancient Egyptians used Canopic jars to store organs during mummification, so that their owner could use them in the afterlife. The lids were made to feature the four sons of Horus:

Gatomon is my favourite Digimon, she seemed such a cool mysterious character when first introduced. Also, she’s really adorable :3

One time my little sister asked me to make her a dolly that looked like the Lego Friends character ‘Emma’, and this is what I came up with. It could be easily adapted to make other Lego mini-doll characters or just used to make a simple dolly.

This is a simple pattern to make an adorable tiny Swinub, a Pokémon based off a stripy wild boar piglet.

Have trouble sleeping? Make yourself a friend to sing you to sleep each night!

Fire-type Pokémon are my favourites, and Vulpix is one of the cutest so I had to make this pattern.

Magikarp is one of my favourite Pokémon, because it appears to be useless but becomes very powerful when evolved. Plus, it’s so cute, I had to make my own.

Subnautica is an amazing game about exploring the waters of another planet. You meet a variety of alien fish, of which my favourite is the Rabbit Ray, so I designed a crochet pattern to make my own.
