Hurra! Hurra! Der Kobold mit dem roten Haar!

This Kobold is known to children in Germany since the 1960s. His name is Pumuckl and he lives with a carpenter in Munich. He first appeared in a successful children’s radio series in the early sixites, and shortly thereafter there were books about him. He became a lot more famous with his own tv series in the 1980s – it was filmed with live actors and Pumuckl was drawn in as a cartoon and voiced by a famous German actor, Hans Clarin. Many famous German actors appeared in the series and the series has aged well.

He even has an English wikipedia entry: Meister Eder und sein Pumuckl

I crocheted this a few years back for our grandson. And here is a mural – Pumuckl loves to turn up at playgrounds:
