Do you have a box full of leftover yarn?

Crochet pattern, yarn suggestions, and ideas for a different kind of cover 

Baby booties are quick to make, and a few leftover bits of yarn are often all you need.

This model is knitted on a set of double-pointed needles, and you should have some practice using a cable needle; then making them is quite easy.

Knitting pattern for baby booties with a sole size of 9–11.5 cm, depending on needle size and yarn yardage.

The spider egg cozy for Halloween breakfast—and beyond—is waiting for you here. 
  You can also crochet the spider as an amigurumi; the beginner-friendly pattern includes the necessary instructions.

You’ll only need 35 g of black cotton yarn with a length of 125 m per 50 g, and you can crochet the eyes and teeth using filet yarn or make them out of craft felt, whichever you prefer.

Have fun crocheting!

Hurry and crochet some Halloween decorations now!


First up is this spooky skull jar. It used to hold jam. Now you can crochet the skull cover around it, fill it with candy, and give it to the kids on Halloween. Once the candy is gone (which, in my experience, happens pretty quickly), place an LED light inside (you can also use a real candle, but please remove the lid first!) and you’ll have a wonderfully spooky window decoration for Halloween night.

And if you like skull decorations, you can also crochet this skull. It comes in two versions:
Simple and plain:

This skull is hollow inside and can also be lit with an LED candle. It looks like this:

Or you can crochet it in bright colors and decorate it with flowers and ornaments, just like the “sugar skulls” in Mexico:

The crochet pattern includes both versions.
