Weekend Projects: Leftover Yarn Projects on the Go

Dear users, dear designers,
it’s spring and leftover yarn weekend. It’s going to be great. Many leftover yarn projects are also small enough to take along to the garden or the park.
Shop now and start having fun right away.

@Designers,
2-3 patterns per designer are enough. Don’t forget the link and image, as well as the usual info.

You can finish crocheting this little shopping bag for toddlers—together with lemons and carrots—in one weekend. It’s also great to work on while you’re out and about. And your grandchild or child is sure to be delighted with it.

Everything is easy to crochet, even for beginners who have crocheted before.

This cute little onesie with a hat fits dolls measuring 40–50 cm, including Baby Born. The doll’s mom will surely be especially delighted, because her little one looks just like a real baby in it.

Of course, the onesie also fits teddy bears and even tiny newborns.

For beginners who’ve knitted before, both pieces are easy to make. Spend a weekend on it, and you’ll have a special gift… maybe even for your own little ones.

There is also a matching pair of pants for the Schlüttli. It is easy to knit, even for beginners, and even leftover yarn is enough for it.

For this cute Easter decoration, you'll need leftover yarn in various weights. The Easter animals—chick, Easter bunny, and lamb—are crocheted with relatively thin yarn (here: Estivo II by Lana Grossa, LL150m/50g, but cotton yarn, e.g. Catania, also works), while the Easter eggs and the doily are made from thicker yarn (here: Paintbox Yarns Simply Aran, LL 184m/100g, or Catania Grande LL 63m/50g).
The animals are about 10 cm tall, and the doily measures about 17 x 22 cm.

Are you still looking for a few egg cozies that are perfect for spring? How about these cheeky ladybugs?

Ladybugs have always been considered good-luck charms, so they’ll wish you lots of luck for the day ahead right at the breakfast table. To crochet them, you’ll only need a little leftover yarn, a crochet hook, some stuffing, and googly eyes.
You can find the pattern here!

If you still have leftover yarn with a yardage of 199 m per 50 g, why not crochet a microphone for the kids :-)

Crochet Pattern Cushion Cover "African Flowers"

'If you look very closely at the photo above, you can see the individual hexagons that make up this beautiful cushion. It’s fun to crochet the hexagons in ever-new color combinations. And because you don’t need much material for them, they’re perfect to make on the go, on the train or on vacation. The ones shown here in the photo were made during a vacation at the lake. Once we have enough hexagons, they are crocheted together.




The cushion has a lovely button closure, so it is also washable. The crochet pattern is ideal for crochet beginners, too.



If you now have so many beautiful hexagons already, you could also crochet a heart-shaped cushion. That is also an ideal project for on the go. Before you know it, you’ll have crocheted enough individual pieces that will ultimately be joined into a unique and special cushion.

No matter what you choose, I wish you lots of joy with the project - Yours, Ina

Simply Loop is, as the name suggests, a very simple project for on the go.

This weekend, there's 50% off my patterns, including this adorable Easter bunny:


Here’s the pattern

This is a great way to use up leftover yarn, because the bunny can be crocheted mostly from scraps. Take the opportunity and try out my patterns! It’s worth it =)

How about a pennant garland? Here it’s for a birth with the baby’s name, but made from lots of colorful leftover yarn for the garden, it’s also a lovely decoration—bright and colorful all around us.

The individual pennants are a small project to take with you, and the stitch sequence is quickly memorized.
