Let’s get started.

@Authors,

Hooray, the Bundesliga is back!

For all soccer fans, Soccer Panda Pauli is a must-have! Crochet his wrist warmers, scarf, and hat in your team’s colors, and he’ll be ready to dangle from your keychain and accompany you to every one of your team’s games.
To crochet Pauli, all you need is a few leftover yarn scraps, a crochet hook, stuffing, googly eyes (or you can embroider them), and basic crochet skills.

Want an eye-catching yet simple Halloween decoration? Then these bats with glowing eyes are just the thing for you. They’re crocheted from black (and a little gray) cotton. Stuff them with some stuffing and add the lights from an LED string lights set.
Hung in the window, this string of lights looks spooky even from the outside.
You can also hang the bats individually or as a mobile without the string of lights.
You can download the pattern here!

Here are my patterns, which are ideal for a weekend project or a TV evening; above all, they require only a little yarn to make, so they can be crocheted from leftover yarn.
Ideal use of leftovers!

Advanced beginners can also make this hat without difficulty.
