This pretty summer top is perfect for knitting in any weather. It’s airy and can certainly be worn for a while longer.

Recommended for experienced knitters. The measurements fit sizes 38–42, as the pattern is figure-hugging on the one hand and nicely stretchy on the other.

You can crochet the “Scrap Eaters” gang in any weather. It’s a lot of fun because you can really let your creativity run wild while using up lots of leftover yarn.

They’re great for gift wrapping, storing small items, pens, needles, and much more. They’re sure to be a hit as party favors at kids’ birthday parties, too.

Perfect for beginners who have crocheted before.

Could your craft table use more color? This problem can be quickly solved with this DIY pencil holder!



The pencil holder is made of photo cardstock, is about 11 cm wide and 8 cm tall. It’s easy to make and well suited even for skilled beginners. Tip: The holder can also be used as a container for small office supplies such as paper clips, thumbtacks, erasers, and similar items.

This beginner-friendly headband works up quickly and requires only a small amount of leftover yarn and a hair elastic.
You can adjust the length and width as you see fit.

The headband is crocheted using the Tunisian simple stitch.

This shawl was crocheted using Schachenmayr’s “Tahiti” yarn. The yarn has a yardage of 280 m and is made of 99% cotton.

It’s the perfect summer shawl —both the yarn and the airy pattern. The pattern repeats over 2 rows, and you’ll need to know how to make single crochet, chain stitches, and double crochet.

You can never have enough gift boxes, and on the weekend you usually have some time to stock up on them. You’re sure to find a use for these pretty boxes soon.



The boxes are made from cardstock, measure about 9 x 9 x 13 cm, and are very easy to make. You can find the patterned paper shown in the photo as a PDF file in my store, but you can also use pre-printed paper or even scraps of wrapping paper to cover them with.

The Sunny Leaves cowl is quick to knit with 100g of Veggi or fizzy; these are synthetic yarns, but super comfortable to wear in summer. They have a yardage of 260m per 100g.

You can never have enough of either. Match the colors to your kitchen decor or coordinate them with a dish towel as a small gift for the hostess.

This pattern uses single crochet, chain stitches, half double crochet, and double crochet. I used cotton yarn with a yardage of 115 m. Small yarn scraps also work well, since you can crochet each row with a different yarn to create this zigzag pattern.

Dino Pauli is just waiting to head out

on an adventure in the garden. Using yarn with a yardage of 100 m per 50 g, Pauli measures approx. 31 cm in height and 40 cm in length. He is crocheted from chain stitches in two pieces, which are joined together at the end in a contrasting color, and he is firmly stuffed with stuffing. This makes Pauli suitable even for very young children, as there are no small parts that could be swallowed.

Pretty, delicate decoration and a perfect activity for a rainy weekend.



The flower basket is made entirely of photo cardstock and measures approx. 16 x 19 cm; the flowers are made of photo cardstock, crepe paper, and wire and are approx. 15 cm tall. Everything is very easy to craft and, thanks to the detailed craft pattern, also well suited for beginners.

The beauty cosmetic set is also great to crochet on hot days. Since all the pieces are fairly small, you never have much material in your hand, so you can work in a completely relaxed way.
For the pads with a hanging loop, the pretty reversible basket for keeping them within easy reach, and the net bag for on the go or for washing the pads in the washing machine, you mainly need leftover cotton yarn.
If you have enough leftovers at home, you don’t even need to go yarn shopping in this heat! 
Just download the pattern, grab your yarn and hooks, and make yourself comfortable in your favorite spot!
