The adorable little angels with their instruments are not just sweet decorations for the Christmas season. You can also give them individually as little guardian angels. As bag charms or keychains, they’ll be a constant companion.

This is a great project for leftover yarn. If you want to use up lots of small, colorful bits of leftover yarn, you can crochet each angel a little dress in a different color.

Finger puppets are also a great project for using up leftover yarn and are always a hit with kids of all ages, especially when they’re as cool as these two ghosts!

And here you’ll find even more finger puppets!

Bookmarks can also be crocheted very easily from small amounts of leftover yarn. I recommend using thinner cotton yarns so the bookmarks don’t bulk up the books too much. Depending on the bookworm’s interests, you can crochet bookmarks to match the book.



Here, for example, is a dragon, for anyone who enjoys reading fantasy stories, tales of knights, and legends.

The “Noble Hand Stripes” wrist warmers are knitted using a simple slip stitch pattern and are finished in no time. You’ll only need 2 x 40 g of yarn with a yardage of 160 m per 50 g.

A great crochet pattern for using up leftover yarn is

Fridolin the Fish



Do you love fish, or do you know an angler or fish lover? Then Fridolin is the perfect gift. If you attach him to a key ring, he makes a great keychain or bag charm. If you crochet a whole school of fish, you can create a cute fish garland. You can also use Fridolin as an extremely low-maintenance fish in a jar.

With just a small amount of cotton yarn in the body color and a small amount of black for the eyes, you can crochet your own Fridolin.

In addition to the yarn, you’ll need a little stuffing or yarn scraps for filling, a pair of scissors, and a crochet hook that matches the yarn you’re using.
