My charity projects
There are so many benefits to donating crochet work to charity - now I use my talent to give back to the community. Aside from helping others in need, it also gives me as a crocheter a chance to be more involved by discovering new volunteer opportunities.
Here I present a little update of my current charity activities.
Do you like Japanes food? I love „Onigiri“, a rice ball wrapped in seaweed paper.
I’m supporting the #OnigiriAction campaign hosted by Table For Two and designed this little cutie crocheted with love to make the world a little better. You'll find the free pattern of my Onigiri Rice Ball HERE.
Read more about the OnigiriAction campaign HERE.
Here I present you one more crochet project for the charity campaign "warm baby feet, warm heart" hosted by Simone from Lilientinte.
You can read more about this campaign on here website HERE (only in German).
I crocheted some baby socks with YEARS SOCKS yarn by Veronika Hug in the September and October colorway using my 3.5 mm crochet hook - hope you like the result!
And here is the end result!!!
1613 knitted and crocheted baby socks were handed over to donum vitae e.V., an adve centre for pregnant women in Paderborn - Germany. Thx to all supporters & makers, it was an amazing charity campaign!!!
I am so thrilled to support a further #noplastic project
called "make me take me" launched by Green Bag Lady
and Initiative Handarbeit e.V. with my crocheted bag
made with wonderful POOL yarn by Veronika Hug.

June 8, 2019 was #WWKIPDAY (World Wide Knit In Public Day) – we were meeting up at Wolle&Schönes in Munich and supported the #MakeMeTakeMe campaign!
Thank you to Wolle & Schönes and fellow blogger Fanny from Yarnaroundtheworld for coordinating this event 😘 and a big thank also to LANA GROSSA for their beautiful yarns!

In cooporation with students from the University for Television and Film and KulturVERSTRICKUNGEN we crocheted a plastic sea installation in Munich, mainly from plastic bags.
I am so incredibly excited to finally share about this environmentally-friendly project called „MEER PLASTIK“.
Read more about this campaign on my blog post HERE !
In Munich I am part of an Urban Knitting/Crochet project series – also called Yarn Bombing.
Yarn bombing’s popularity has spread throughout the world – to convey respect and tolerance to other cultures, religions and ways of life.
This is my last yarn bombing project for a bake sale - a 3 tiered money box cake, YUMMY!!!
For the petition "SAVE THE BEES" I crocheted some bees started in Munich, Germany on January 31, 2019!
You can read more HERE.
We are actually working on a white-blue flower project, too. For that I've already crocheted a wonderful 3D-flower.
Pattern for free you’ll find HERE (only in German!).
And here some funny crochet hats I created for an environmentally-friendly agricultural protest campaign #miahambssatt in Munich.
Did you notice the chubby bee? That’s my creation and I love his sweet face! This crocheted pillow is the perfect size to cuddle and is so adorable!
Another beautiful project is “Eine Blume für die Welt” = a flower for the world, and I’m very proud to represent the national flower of the Philippines – Sampaguita flower, also known as Jasmimum Sambac.
You can find some of these crocheted and knitted flowers in Munich at our Grünspitz-area.
And here some more pictures about another yarn bombing project with crocheted flowers by myself.
In Bietigheim-Bissingen (Germany) I am also part of yarn bomb projects started 2018 by the Municipal Museum Hornmoldhaus. We collected nearly 1,400 crocheted hexagons and decorated some objects in town.
With the remaining hexagons we made some baby blankets which were donated to a Romanian orphanage.
Charity campaign "Crochet for World cup"
Have you read about the Crochet World Cup Campaign of "Häkelhelden"?
During the Football World Cup 2018 they tried to fill a model football stadium with 10,000 of amigurumis, how amazing is that?
I’ve donated 5 amigurumis for this campaign - you can read my full blog post HERE.
Ronald McDonald House
The Ronald McDonald House in Berlin-Wedding is a temporary home for families whose seriously ill children are being treated in the cardiac center of the Virchow Clinic in Berlin.
For parents and siblings of these children, the hospitalization time means not only a constant mix of hope and worry, but also a complete upheaval of their usual lives as they reorganize around the necessary courses of treatment.
They have to move to Berlin for an indefinite period of time, giving up their careers and friends in order to spend their days in the hospital.
Every year I support one of a donation
campaign for the Ronald McDonald House
with my crocheted items.
More information HERE.
For 2017 I donated this adorable cuties!
Donation campaign "crochet for little favourite people"
My first donation was this cute amigurumi deer I made with so much love!
A Hospital in Bielefeld in Germany is now happy to give this little gift to a child with cancer.
Do you want to support this project?
Feel free to cantact me :-)
Donation hand-over
On 30 November, 2016 my crochet friend Valentina (valentinahaekelt.com) has handed over the amigurumi donation to the Prostestan Hospital Bielefeld, Germany.
All crocheted amigurumis quickly gained the love of the children.
Here some pictures of the donation ceremony.
My crocheted deer is now ownership of a little girl.
