For doll clothes, I love using scraps—they’re wonderful for creative knitting projects. That’s how this pretty outfit set for dolls measuring 35–40 cm came to be.

It’s sure to make any doll mom—big or small—happy. The sweater is worked from the top down with raglan sleeves.

You can crochet beautiful keychains and bag charms from small amounts of leftover yarn.

Do you know a child who’s starting school this year? Why not crochet this cute guardian angel as a bag charm for their school bag? The little angel comes in a version for boys and one for girls. Both hold a school cone in their hands and have a school bag on their backs that you can remove and open. Inside, you can hide a note with a little message of encouragement, Mom and Dad’s phone number, or another little surprise.

Even older kids and adults need a guardian angel. This one has a simple, stylized design and is very quick to crochet.

I like to crochet doll clothes from leftover yarn. You only need a little yarn for such a small doll dress. You can quickly knit a few little dresses and make your daughter or granddaughter happy.

Fitted Dress with Bolero

The dress is form-fitting and has a detailed bustier and thin straps. A bolero goes well with it. You can also combine the bolero with other doll dresses: here, for example, with a long dress from another pattern (you can find it here in my shop).





Favorite Summer Dress

You only need a tiny amount of yarn in 2 colors for it. The dress is quick to crochet. It fastens with 3 snaps at the back. I especially like it because it is uncomplicated to crochet, and you can make several of them in different colors right away.

These practical dishcloths are crocheted from cotton yarn. They are beloved little helpers in the kitchen—for washing dishes, setting down hot pots, or protecting pans from each other. 

With this crocheted design you can also make good use of even small yarn scraps. You should be familiar with single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet.
