The following three projects are all made up of individual pieces (African Flowers). You can easily crochet these individual pieces on the go—on the train, in the doctor’s waiting room, or on vacation. In the end, you can assemble them as you like to create a

heart-shaped pillow




a rectangular pillow cover




or a blanket




crocheted together. This way, many small mini pieces come together to form one large, beautiful creation.

The same applies to all three projects: they’re very easy for even beginner crocheters to follow. I explain and demonstrate everything in great detail. I hope you have lots of fun with the project of your choice. For more pictures, information, or the pattern, please click on the headings above the images.

Small keychains are always useful to have on hand as little good-luck gifts. They’re an ideal project for on the go, since you need so little material that it fits easily in your purse, and because you can pause your work quickly without any trouble. Plus, they’re very quick to crochet, so they definitely won’t turn into a never-ending project!
Here are a few examples you’re sure to enjoy:

Small Airplane

Kittens

Owl Chef

A knitting project like spiral socks is ideal for on the go.

Spiral socks are knitted without a heel and fit a wide range of shoe sizes. With this pattern, you can knit socks from sizes 14–18 up to sizes 46–47. The pattern is explained step by step in the instructions with pictures.

Fuji is something you can crochet anywhere.

The set consists of a small laundry net and three makeup remover pads.
For Fuji you’ll need approx. 36 g of cotton yarn.

The Cologne “Einkaufs-Büggel.” A crochet pattern for a shopping net. Also great for using up leftover yarn! It’s crocheted from the bottom up.
Get the pattern here:

Materials:
You can use any yarn. Cotton yarn or yarn with an acrylic blend works best. For the melon net, I used “Früchtchen” yarn from Garnmanufaktur in the Melon colorway. The yarn cake is 4-ply. I used 75 g out of 100 g. The yarn has a length of 375 m per 100 g; I used a 4 mm crochet
hook. You can also use a different yarn cake. If
you use thicker yarn, the bag will be larger (see details). I could
also imagine using leftover yarn for this!

The cute wrap bracelet is crocheted in no time, looks magical, and is super comfortable to wear.

The bracelet can also be worn as a very cute anklet. And if you simply make it longer, it turns into a chic, delicate belt.

It is crocheted in one piece, so there’s no annoying weaving in of ends (only the starting and ending tails).

Here’s the pattern

Choker and/or Wrap Bracelet in a Wave Pattern
These pieces of jewelry are quick to crochet and very comfortable to wear.
They also make a great gift or little present. By lengthening or shortening it accordingly, the bracelet can also be turned into a cute anklet .

Perfect for using up scraps: key or bag charm with angel wings

But even without a key ring, hung as decoration in a window or above a child's bed, these lovely charms are always eye-catching.
You’ll receive a detailed PDF pattern with text and numerous step-by-step photos, making it easy even for beginners. The wings are very quick to crochet and look beautiful from both sides (the back almost looks like stockinette stitch).
