Small cloths are great for using up leftover yarn - they’re quick to make and, depending on the yarn used, can be used as comfort cloths, washcloths, dishcloths, or potholders. Here you’ll find a few suggestions from me for how you can conjure up great motifs from your leftover yarn:




Crochet pattern cloth “Ella Unicorn”





Crochet pattern washcloth “Cheeky Sheep”






Crochet pattern potholder and dishcloth “Flamingo LOVE”





Crochet pattern cloth “Elo Elephant”





Crochet pattern cloth “Bear Tobi”





Crochet pattern cloth “Love Birds”

Made from leftover yarn—and perfect for the upcoming Christmas season—the “Christmas” lid covers are ideal.
Whether it’s gingerbread, the Grinch, St. Nicholas, a snowman, or a moose, and whether for candy, monetary gifts, or even as an Advent calendar: these lid covers are quick to crochet and look great, too.
