A small Mother’s Day gift that comes from the heart: you can make this crocheted
heart with the two adorable little bears
using leftover yarn and give it to a loved one. The two little bears are holding hands, showing their bond—just as you’re connected to the recipient. The heart isn’t just a perfect personal gift for Mother’s Day, but also for Valentine’s Day or whenever you want to bring joy to someone special.

Here’s a creative way to present a cash gift: “I’m giving you a few
mice to splash out
.” You can crochet the little mice in many bright colors using leftover yarn. But it looks especially great when the mice match the color of the bills you’re giving.

Mermaids are still very popular with girls. So they can dress up their dolls as little mermaids, you can crochet this beautiful
mermaid costume
for them using leftover yarn. The tail is crocheted in a simple shell pattern and can be adjusted in size to fit even “curvy” dolls. A pattern for the top and headpiece is also included.
