The Polar Bear and Penguin are two practical pot holders that are perfect for any kitchen, especially in winter. They’re crocheted in double layers so you can slip your hand in from the bottom, just like a glove. But you can also crochet them as a single layer, since the pattern uses the tapestry technique, which means you won’t see any loose threads on the back.

To make them, you’ll need:

• 1–2 skeins each of Catania cotton yarn in white and black
• Scraps of Catania cotton yarn in gray, soft apricot, and orange
• 2.5 mm crochet hook
• 1 thick sewing needle for weaving in ends
• and the crochet pattern—you can find it here!

Each gift container in this Advent calendar has the shape of a slanted pyramid and is very easy to make in itself. But three containers always have to be joined together in a very specific way to form a cube, and that could be a bit tricky.
 

 
For everything to work well, you definitely need spatial imagination and some crafting experience.

The calendar is made from photo cardstock and measures approx. 12.5 x 12.5 x 12.5 cm.

This scarf is suitable for advanced knitters because of the pattern. It involves yarn overs, and the wavy pattern is created by knitting several stitches together.

For this scarf, I used Ombre Lace by Schachenmayr. The yarn has a length of 600 m per 100 grams. I used one skein and knitted with 4.5 mm needles.

But you can also adjust the width and length of the scarf to suit your own preferences.
