Quick Christmas Projects / Quick Leftover-Yarn Projects

Dear users, dear authors,
it won’t be long until Christmas, and if you’d like to make some beautiful patterns now—last minute, so to speak—you might want to focus on quick leftover-yarn patterns. In this thread, authors will share patterns using leftover yarn that can be completed in about 60 minutes. I hope you have fun crafting. 

Authors,
You may post a maximum of 3 patterns here. Don’t forget to include links, pictures, information, etc. All patterns promoted here must not have been promoted on the forum in the past 3 weeks, must have at least 25 sales / a conversion rate of at least 3%, and must be able to be completed in about 60 minutes. 

Bookmarks are perfect as a last-minute DIY project.  If you enjoy crafting, you’re sure to have a few leftover yarn scraps at home, and you can get started right away. Together with a matching book, it makes a truly personal gift!

Here are a few ideas that are really quick to make:

No worries—Christmas is still a few days away. You can certainly still manage to make one or two last-minute gifts. Here are a few examples from me. I hope you have lots of fun making them and giving them as gifts.

Pillow and/or rug for the doll bed

You can crochet the pillows in any size you like. The filling is a little synthetic batting, or a few color-coordinated leftover yarn scraps, or some crinkle foil. If you like, you can crochet a rug to go with it. Fits in any dollhouse and is great for fine leftover yarn.






Doll dress

Doll clothes are always a welcome gift for little doll mommies. In my shop there are lots of them to crochet or knit. But you wanted one that is really quick and uncomplicated. I picked this one for you, which can also be knitted from fine leftover yarn. It is knitted with a set of double-pointed needles and has a slit in the skirt. Thanks to different patterns, it fits perfectly at the waist.





Felt soles

Yes, you can give something like this as a gift too. For everyone who suffers from cold feet in winter. Felt soles act like a buffer between the cold from below and warm skin. They are quick to knit and are felted in the washing machine. A template for cutting out your required shoe size is included. You can use your leftover felting wool or wool with a high natural wool content for this.
