These cute snowflakes are crocheted from leftover white cotton yarn. They have a silver glitter border and a funny face. You can incorporate a small pocket on the back so that the snowflakes can also be used as gift tags or for an Advent calendar. The snowflakes have a diameter of about 13 cm, and the pocket on the back has a diameter of 5 cm. However, you can also make them a bit larger.
You can find the crochet pattern for the snowflake here!

Everyone has them. They live in dark bins and boxes, waiting for their big day. Finally, finally, you should bring them out into the light and conjure up something beautiful from them. If you’ve been missing the right idea for your leftover yarn so far, maybe today there’s just the thing for you.

I hope you enjoy looking and making them.

Heart Pendants



You should always crochet these pretty heart pendants in advance, because you’ll always need one now and then to give to someone dear. Sometimes words fail us, but the heart then shows how close we are to the other person and that we are thinking of them. A little lucky charm like this is always welcome and warms the heart. It’s quickly crocheted from a few scraps of cotton yarn. You can also use it as a keychain or a scented hanger for the closet.'

Pillows and Rug for the Doll Bed



The soft accessories for the doll bed are also quick to crochet from leftovers. With a few pillows in different sizes, or even a rug, the dollhouse looks more cozy right away. You’ll make the doll mommy happy and put your leftover yarn to good use.

Rustico Basket



Here you’ll need to have a bit more leftover yarn. You can use anything you have and that goes well together. We crochet with all the yarns at the same time, creating really wonderful pattern and color effects. But what’s special about this basket is that a plastic clothesline runs along inside it. This ultimately provides the shape and makes the basket sturdy.
