Leftover cotton yarn (125m/50g) in a wide variety of colors can be put to good use in this colorful fruit basket . You don’t need much yarn for each individual piece of fruit, and it doesn’t matter if one shade of green differs from the next—after all, that’s just how it is in nature. Some of the patterns are also available individually in my shop, but they’re much cheaper in this saver pack .

This colorful balloon cover is perfect for crocheting with leftover yarn.

You’ll crochet individual granny squares, which are then sewn together at the end. A hidden opening is added so you can change the balloon.

You’ll need to know how to do double crochets, chain stitches, and single crochets. The instructions explain the sewing process step by step in detail.

Lots of colorful cotton yarn scraps become a beautiful and practical storage basket for pens, ruler, scissors, etc. Under the colorful cover is a small yogurt bucket from the supermarket. This keeps the plastic buckets out of the trash and lets them be usefully reused. They fit in any child's room.

In the pattern, I show you how to crochet without having to weave in ends afterward, or only very, very few.

Here you can find both crochet patterns: Colorful Little Buckets, 2 models
