This wonderful, colorful cardigan is a fun weekend project. It fits dolls and teddy bears measuring about 45–50 cm, as well as newborns. Of course, there’s a matching hat to go with it.

The cardigan is knitted using the RVO method and is easy to make, as is the hat.

The sleeping bag for dolls, teddy bears, or small newborns is also a lovely weekend project that lets you relax at the same time. If you don’t want that many buttons, simply skip every other buttonhole. 

A really wonderful gift for doll moms, because their little darling will look like a real baby in it.

Don’t throw away empty jam jars! If you crochet around them with black yarn and this skull motif, you’ll have wonderful candy jars to fill with sweets for the kids. Once the candy is gone, the jar with an LED tealight becomes a spooky Halloween lantern.
Get started this weekend and crochet several of them right away. They’ll be snapped up!

Ingo the Hedgehog is perfect as an autumn decoration. Paired with a few colorful leaves, acorns, or chestnuts, he’ll fit right in wherever you want to display him. Once autumn is over, he can cuddle with the kids—he’s velvety soft, even his quills, because he’s crocheted from velvet and fringed yarn!

During a cozy evening in front of the TV, you can start crocheting the little gift bags for St. Nicholas. It’s a breeze—you simply crochet in rounds and don’t have to worry about increases or decreases. The bags are crocheted using Christmas sock yarn. Small leftover amounts are enough for the appliqués.

With a few leftover yarn scraps from your last project, you can quickly crochet these decorative covers for jam or candy jars and use them to dress up small gifts.

Crocheted in autumn colors , they fit the season perfectly. There are no limits to your imagination; depending on the leftover yarn you have, other color combinations look great too.

   Here’s the pattern

Have fun crocheting!

You’ll find a TV-friendly pattern in this design. 

You don’t need a cable needle for the cable look. Only knit and purl stitches are used. For the border, I chose a seed stitch pattern, which is also very easy to recreate.

Well, these three little friends aren’t really that spooky, but they’re all the cuter in their Halloween costumes - the friendly witch, the chubby pumpkin, and the shy vampire.



They’re quick and easy to crochet from a few colorful scraps of leftover yarn, and thanks to the detailed pattern with plenty of pictures, they’re easy to make even for advanced crochet beginners. That makes the spooky celebration twice as much fun.

So grab your stash of leftovers and a suitable crochet hook, and let’s get started! You can find the pattern for the Halloween trio here >>>

Or would you rather adopt this little sweet turkey Toby into your home? He is still brand new to the neighborhood and will be experiencing the holidays for the first time this year—but hopefully that roast turkey thing was just a nasty rumor ... 



Toby is very low-maintenance and doesn't need too much yarn—less than 30g per color. So he is also a lovely project for using up your leftover yarn.

For the magnificent tail feathers, I have also included a helpful crochet chart and lots of step-by-step pictures in the pattern, so that even confident crochet beginners can easily follow the pattern.

So make yourselves cozy at home with a lovely, fragrant cup of tea and your favorite crochet hook, and off you go. You can find the pattern for little Toby here >>>
