To make the cute cotton ball dispenser Wolli, you’ll only need 2 skeins of cotton yarn with a yardage of 63m/50g (Catania Grande) in your favorite color, plus a 3.0 mm crochet hook, some stuffing, a zipper, and safety eyes (if you don’t want to embroider them).
Since this little bunny is very easy to crochet (using only single crochet stitches) and the instructions are explained clearly round by round, it’s also perfect for crocheting on the go.
You can find the pattern here!

A mini project in the truest sense of the word: the cute “Dog, Cat, Mouse” pencil toppers. All you need are tiny amounts of leftover yarn that will fit in any handbag. In no time at all, you’ll have crocheted the 3 little animals—so it’s best to make a few more right away. They definitely won’t stay with you for long; they’ll soon be adopted.

A granny square for a blanket is quick to crochet and makes for a lovely project to work on while you’re out and about.

This is one of 6 granny squares, all of which have the same side length and can therefore be easily combined with one another.

The 3-piece set consists of a skirt, a top, and a bolero. The skirt in particular, which is crocheted entirely in the round, is an ideal mini project for on the go. It’s perfect for crocheting on the train or while on vacation. Since the pattern isn’t complicated, you can relax and enjoy your handiwork.

This beautiful pillow is made up of many individual hexagons. And they’re perfect to take along as an on-the-go project. You can design each hexagon in whatever colors you like. At the end, they are all crocheted together to make a beautiful pillow.

The pillow cover has a button closure and can therefore be washed.

Even though it’s July now, smart people plan ahead. The next Christmas is sure to come. And if you have such a beautiful Advent calendar for your children or grandchildren by then, everyone will be delighted.

It is made from 24 individual little pockets. You can crochet the little pockets very well from colorful leftover yarn. And since a few grams of yarn don’t weigh much, they are ideal as a mini project for on the go. After the first 2 to 3 pockets, you’ll know by heart how it’s done. Then you just need to keep diligently crocheting pocket after pocket.

And all 24 pockets are then filled with surprises at the end of November and decorated for Christmas. And after Christmas, you could also use them for the Easter table or for children’s birthday parties. Each little guest finds one at their place ... they are simply universally useful. You can get to the pattern by clicking here.

I wish you lots of joy with this project. Yours, Ina
