Scraps for spring and Easter: craft sustainably and have fun now

Dear users, dear authors,
now use your scraps to make delightful projects for spring / springtime and Easter. You’ll love it.

@Autoren,
2-3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget links, images, info, etc.

To make yourself or someone else happy (e.g., for Easter, a birthday, or Children’s Day), you don’t need much: just a little yarn and a crochet hook or knitting needle. Take a look at what you can create with them.

I hope you enjoy looking and making them yourself.

Warm regards from Ina

Here are my 3 suggestions from the category: Make something beautiful from leftover yarn.

Little Birds - Decorative Hangers and Plant Stakes

These little birds can be crocheted very easily and quickly from small amounts of leftover yarn, and you can use them as decorative hangers or unusual plant stakes for potted plants and bouquets.

Difficulty level: very easy, also suitable for beginners with a little practice








You can find the crochet pattern for the little birds here




Decorative Heart Hangers in Two Variations

The hearts are also easy to crochet from leftover yarn, even for beginners with a little practice, and can be decorated however you like.

Tulips in an Umbrella

Do you have lots of small amounts of leftover yarn in different colors? The bouquet of tulips in an umbrella looks great in many color combinations and is a lovely eye-catcher as a decoration on doors and walls, on the table, a dresser, or a shelf, bringing spring into your home.

Difficulty level: easy to medium for advanced crocheters, medium to difficult for beginners with a little practice

These three motifs are just perfect for spring and bring good cheer into your home—whether in the kitchen or the bathroom. Depending on the yarn you use, you can knit the small cloths as dishcloths or washcloths. All the motifs shown are knitted in double-face, which gives you two beautiful sides. A pattern for the double-face basics is included with each one.

You can crochet quite a lot from leftover cotton and have a lovely gift right away



For this small cloth, you can also make good use of smaller cotton leftovers. Depending on the yarn weight, these cloths can be used as dishcloths, washcloths, trivets, or potholders. 



Here I crocheted around an empty tin can in spiral rounds using various leftovers. I keep my knitting needles and colored pencils in it. 



And here I also have a crocheted balloon cover made from individual granny squares. The balloon is well protected inside the cover while playing. 

Leftovers are wonderful for knitting washcloths and dishcloths—in 6 different patterns. Nicely mixed in bright colors, they also look great in an Easter basket. Very easy, even for beginners.

A little shopping bag like this for a play store is also a wonderful Easter gift for the little ones. The filling is included too—carrots and lemons, for example. Easy to crochet.

While this decoration does require fairly large pieces of photo cardstock, the many small motifs mean you can put your leftover photo cardstock from previous projects to good use.


 
This Easter door wreath is made of photo cardstock and measures approximately 30 x 30 cm. It’s very easy to recreate and just requires a little patience when cutting out the pieces.

The Easter basket doesn’t always have to be filled only with chocolate eggs! Small scraps of leftover yarn can be turned into wonderful little crochet pieces in no time, perfect for delighting children.



These cute Easter bunny finger puppets, for example, are fun for all children. You can crochet a whole bunny family. It not only looks sweet in an Easter basket, but also makes a wonderful table decoration. And at the end, everyone can take their little bunny home.


These bookmarks with Easter animals,  are also lovely little treats for the Easter basket and can be crocheted super easily and quickly. Little (and also bigger) bookworms are sure to have lots of fun with them!


Children love to draw, and with these fun pencil toppers it’s even more fun! The pencil toppers fit all standard colored pencils and felt-tip pens. If you want them for thicker pencils, simply crochet a few more stitches for the cover. The head stays the same.
