I’ll show you a few ideas for using up leftover yarn and quick crochet projects for the weekend



This pumpkin is quick to crochet. Depending on the yarn length and hook size, you’ll end up with different-sized versions. 



Crochet pattern for a dishcloth. A lovely little gift to bring to your next get-together—the hostess is sure to appreciate such a great present. 

The stitch pattern is just one row, and even small yarn scraps can be put to good use here. 



Crocheted quickly in the morning, these lanterns and vases will make for a great table decoration at your garden party in the evening. 

For the weekend, I can recommend a few of my designs to you.

Bookmarks are quick to make and can also be crocheted on the side as a way to use up small bits of leftover yarn. Make sure you always have a few of them in stock, and you’ll always have a lovely little gift for a bookworm!

Anyone who likes animal stories is sure to love this little monkey too!

Teacup Bookmark
Sitting in a comfy armchair, drinking a good cup of tea, and browsing through a thick tome: with this bookmark, you’ll strike a chord with everyone who loves to get cozy.

Here are my suggestions for various accessories that you can knit very easily - using only knit and purl stitches. Thanks to the detailed patterns, in which every row is described stitch by stitch, even beginners can do it. If you prefer working from a chart, you can use the knitting charts.




Knitting pattern "Squares" 12 motifs + A-Z for blankets, accessories, etc.





Knitting pattern washcloth / dishcloth "Summer Love" - very easy





Knitting pattern washcloth / dishcloth "Dino Love" - very easy

You’ll find a large selection of more motifs in my shop. Have fun browsing, and Sonja wishes you a lovely weekend!

We’re all drawn to the sea in this weather.
There, you’ll find a chance to cool off and a fresh breeze.

Perfect for this retreat, you’ll find 3 patterns below
for dishcloths with knitted-in ocean-themed motifs.

You only need to know knit stitches and purl stitches to knit these dishcloths.
If you use 8/8 cotton yarn or double strands of yarn,
you can make pot holders using the same pattern.
This way, you can create pretty sets for the kitchen.
Not just for yourself , but also for your friend , coworker , or
neighbor .
In no time, you’ll have a pretty and sustainable gift ready for your next get-together
.

Have fun knitting!

Dishcloth Motif: Sailboat




Dolphin – Dishcloth / Washcloth “Flippsy”




Squid / Octopus “Eight Arms”

3) And here’s another practical everyday companion: a crossbody bag / shopper in natural tones—beautiful, classic, and elegant. This bag is crocheted using the clever yet simple double stitch. With this special stitch, you can crochet in rounds without any offset, making the bag perfect for embroidery.
In the photos, you can see the embroidered front and the unembroidered back. Of course, you can embroider both sides or leave the bag “plain”—whatever you prefer.
