The Tamburin Shawl can be knitted with lots of small leftover yarn scraps and one main color, making it as colorful as you like. The two patterns are explained row by row and also shown in a chart.

You will need 1x 100 g and approx. 10x 20 g of yarn, but of course the size can easily be adjusted individually.

You can crochet these shells using almost any leftover yarn. They turn out especially pretty with pastel-colored yarn featuring soft but short color gradients. The pattern shows you how to make 3 different types of shells that look quite realistic. Isn’t this a great decoration, for example, for the bathroom?

Then go ahead and download the pattern here and get started right away!
It’s not that hard at all!

This crochet blanket is a great way to use up leftover cotton yarn. The flowers are crocheted individually and don't need much yarn. With the final round, they are crocheted directly onto the other flowers, so there’s no annoying sewing together at the end.

The size can be customized, as can the shape of the blanket. Whether round or oval or a completely unique shape......

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

For these knitted shoes, leftover yarn is enough, since you can also knit them in very different colors. Change colors after the sole, after the little shoe, and for the cuff, so you can reduce your stash of leftovers a bit.

These little shoes are knitted with a set of double-pointed needles, and you should have some practice using a cable needle.

A leftover Bobbel of about 75 grams—or even a very small one—can be used for this great triangular loop scarf. Super practical: just pull it over your head, and it still tapers to a point at the front like a triangular shawl—plus, it’s quick to knit. Everything a woman needs.Jeansfreund
