The cute little Christmas finger puppets (snowman, Santa Claus, moose) can be quickly crocheted from a few scraps of leftover yarn. They’re perfect for filling an Advent calendar and help make the long wait until Christmas shorter for children. The puppets are about 9 cm tall.



The reindeer coin purse is also easy to make using leftover yarn. You’ll need about 25 g of the main color (light brown) and just tiny scraps of the other colors (brown, white, black, red). You’ll also need a clip purse clasp (e.g., from Prym).
You can use the coin purse to present a monetary gift in a creative way.



The reversible doll “Nikolausi-Osterhasi” can be used in both winter and spring. During Advent and Christmas, it’s a magnificent Santa Claus. At Easter, simply turn the doll inside out, and a cute little Easter bunny appears!

Let me introduce you to this rather unique take on St. Nicholas gift packaging. While there isn’t a lot of space here, the packaging is definitely big enough for candy, good-luck charms, or small accessories!


 
This St. Nicholas shoe is made from photo cardstock and measures approximately 20.5 x 11 x 8.5 cm. With a little crafting experience, you can make it quickly and easily.

The moose , Sweden’s national animal, has been immortalized by me on a small doily .
You can knit the doily very easily, because it uses only knit and purl stitches. You can either read the stitch sequence from the chart or knit from the detailed step-by-step pattern, in which I have written out every row stitch by stitch for you.
As a beginner, you’ll definitely get along well with it and quickly have a result you can be proud of.
But you can use your work not only as a doily .
You can also present your moose as a dishcloth, washcloth, cuddly cloth, or napkin .
You can also use it to wrap small gifts.

Below is an idea for wrapping small gifts during Advent with a doily like this.
In the picture you can see a different motif, but it also works with the moose doily:

These cute St. Nicholas bags are quick to crochet and always a great idea!
