Weekend Projects: Bestsellers + Leftover Yarn.

Dear users, dear authors,
here you’ll find great weekend projects, tempting bestsellers and practical patterns for leftover yarn.
Have fun!

@Authors,
2–3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget the link and image, as well as the usual information.

Here’s the pattern!
The weather’s supposed to be a bit dreary this weekend—perfect for crafting!
You might as well start thinking about Mother’s Day:

Mom is sure to love this pretty little beaded pouch. She can use it to store jewelry, loose change, or small makeup items. The pouch measures about 12 x 8 cm. Of course, it can also be made in other colors. The pattern includes a crochet chart for the shell pattern, but it’s also described row by row in written form. I sewed the beads on at the very end. This way, you can also use very small beads where the cotton thread wouldn’t fit through the hole.

For the pouch shown here, I used the following materials:

• 15 g Catania Fine cotton yarn, color cream (165 m / 50 g)
• 2.0 mm crochet hook
• 24 silver beads, approx. 5 mm in diameter
• 1 bag clasp, 8 x 4 cm
• white sewing thread
• 1 yarn needle for weaving in
• 1 sewing needle

You can find the pattern here!

Feel like crocheting something this weekend, but don’t want to go out and buy extra yarn? Then a leftover yarn pattern is ideal! You’re sure to have enough material at home for a pretty bookmark!

This dragon, for example, can be crocheted in all kinds of colors and is sure to be a hit with all fantasy readers! You can find the pattern here: Crochet a Dragon Bookmark


You can find even more crocheted bookmarks here in my shop:Various Bookmarks

Take some time this weekend and think of your beloved four-legged friends—they like handmade crocheted items, too.

All 3 models are crocheted using only single crochet stitches; you’ll find exact material details in the respective patterns—just click on the corresponding image.

A lovely project for a relaxing weekend is Granny



This is Granny Number 6 from a whole series. All the Grannies are the same size, so you can combine them, for example, into a blanket in bright mixed colors or in a single color.

Basic knowledge of single crochet, double crochet, chain stitches, and slip stitches is required.



Would you like to see more pictures of the Grannies? Then take a look at the collection I created.

A simple pattern with a WOW effect promises a relaxing weekend

Flamingo crochet pattern

You can use this cute flamingo as a plant pick or simply place it on the windowsill. It’s even suitable as a bag charm. 



To the pattern

You will need:
Leftover cotton yarn 125 m/50 g, color of your choice, the amount for the plant pick is no more than 15 g, stuffing, 2.5 mm crochet hook, sewing needle, scissors, googly eyes, decorative rivets, or embroider the eyes

With just a few grams of leftover yarn, you can crochet charming little summer dresses for your daughter’s or granddaughter’s dolls. They’re easy to make and always go down well. For more photos, information, and the pattern esimply click here.



These doll clothes are also crocheted from leftovers: trousers, tops, dresses - all lovely patterns for crochet beginners. Here too, it doesn’t take much work, and you’ll be rewarded with beautiful, colourful doll clothes. Click here for more photos, information, and the pattern.



And my third recommendation for a lovely leftover-yarn project, which is also ideal as a weekend craft, is a crocheted heart-shaped pillow. It is crocheted from many individual hexagons, which are joined together at the end. It is filled with synthetic stuffing, so it can go completely into the washing machine when needed. It is especially fun to combine the different colours in new ways again and again. And in the end, you get a truly wonderful and unique pillow like no other.

I hope you enjoy the project of your choice and have a lovely weekend - Yours, Ina
