The pattern is more suitable for advanced crocheters who are already confident in recognizing the individual stitches. However, the pattern also includes lots of detailed photos, so ambitious beginners can take on a challenge with it and learn something new.

Have fun crocheting and giving it as a gift :)

To knit a Christmas tree ornament, all you need is a few scraps of sock yarn (and, of course, an ornament).
The pattern is created using slip stitches, so you’ll only be knitting with one color per row.

For these stylized angels, you only need very small amounts of colorful leftover yarn. They’re quick and easy to crochet. Use them as Christmas tree ornaments or gift tags!

The star-shaped tea light holder can also be quickly crocheted from leftover yarn. If you use glittery thread as an accent yarn (or a yarn with glitter spun into it), it looks especially elegant.

The breakfast table gets a festive makeover, too! St. Nicholas, a snowman, and little angels keep your breakfast eggs warm while decorating the table at the same time. So you can also display them as table decorations even without eggs underneath. Maybe you could even light them up by placing an LED tea light underneath?

Quickly conjured up from your scraps… The pretty tea light holder Candle Dream… You need a little Lorex yarn and a color you really like… With my pattern, the little flower is easy to make, along with a small holder for the candle:

Done with all your shopping? Then you can still prepare a few backup gifts—and even tiny scraps of photo cardstock will do the trick. You can recreate these glitter balls in any color, whether solid or multicolored.



The 9 cm Christmas tree ornaments are made from photo cardstock, decorated with glitter liner, and very easy to make yourself.

How about a few pillows for a doll bed? They’re wonderful to crochet from leftover yarn. They are stuffed with synthetic stuffing and are therefore fully washable if needed. The same crochet technique can also be used for a rug.

Doll Dresses

You could also crochet small doll dresses from 15 g of leftover yarn. They’re quickly crocheted in two colors and fasten at the back with 3 snap buttons. A crochet chart is included with the pattern. These are always welcome gifts for little doll mommies.



Heart Pendant

A heart is always the right gift for someone dear to you. It says everything you can’t put into words. The heart is quick to crochet and is filled with synthetic stuffing. For example, you can sprinkle it with your favorite perfume and hang it in the wardrobe as a scented pendant. If you use finer yarn, the heart will be smaller and would make a lovely keychain. These are all beautiful gifts you can still make now.

I hope you have lots of fun with all your projects. You’ll always find more information and the pattern by clicking on the heading.

Warm regards from Ina
