Affordable Crafts Galore

Dear users, dear authors,
If you’d like to save money, you’ll find plenty of affordable patterns, SALE patterns, free patterns and blog posts with patterns, as well as patterns for all kinds of scraps in the shop. With the store credit account discount, it gets even cheaper.

@Authors,
you can feature 2–3 relevant patterns here, including from the blog. Don’t forget links, images and information. All shop patterns featured here must have at least 10 sales / a conversion rate of at least 2% and must not have been promoted in the forum in the past 3 weeks. Blog posts must also not have been promoted in the past 3 weeks. Please do not copy text directly from the blog or the product page. 

All those leftovers!
Look on the bright side and be happy—you can make lots of little things
that don’t require wasting any new yarn.

This little crochet flower is finished in no time and needs only a little material.
You can use it as scatter decoration or sew it onto a piece of clothing.

The “Nobelei” crochet wrist warmers are also quick to crochet.
With a shiny carry-along yarn, they get a beautiful upgrade.
In white with silver thread, they look very festive, e.g. for a wedding.
In black with silver thread, they’re perfect for your next trip to the theater.

My “Spirelli Spring” crocheted socks are wonderfully colorful.
They were crocheted with a new ball of yarn.
However, you can also use your yarn scraps, mix them together in all kinds of colors
and simply start crocheting.
You can divide your leftovers in half and wind 2 identical balls of yarn.
Then you can crochet identical colorful leftover socks.
This makes every pair of socks individual and unique in color.

And now: Grab your hook and off you go.

Mona (Froschoma_Mona) wishes you lots of joy crocheting

Everyone has to save money. That's why everyone appreciates patterns that let you create something new from just a little yarn—preferably from the leftover stash. Here are a few examples from me.

I hope you have lots of fun making them.
Warm regards from Ina

Insoles from leftover felted wool

We knit a square from all kinds of leftover felted wool, let it felt in the washing machine, and then use the template to cut out the insoles. The template is included with the pattern. You can place the soles in rubber boots, plastic clogs, or use them as an extra soft sole in slippers. The thick felt helps regulate temperature, creates a pleasant climate for your feet, and cushions your step.



Crochet a swimsuit for small dolls

You only need at most 5 g of yarn for one swimsuit. It doesn't need a closure. A crochet chart is included with the pattern. It's quick to crochet, and in no time you'll have one made for all your dolls. It's perfect for playing out bathing and vacation scenes.



Free pattern in the blog post "Make your own sewing weights"

Anyone who sews needs them, or could give them to a sewing friend as a gift. They are used to hold the paper sewing pattern in place on the table. This lets you cut it out without having to stick pins into the fabric. You can easily sew the sewing weights yourself from fabric scraps. In the blog post, I described exactly how to do it.

You can whip up this tea light holder using scraps of photo card in any colors you have on hand. If you already have the usual craft supplies, you won’t need to buy anything extra for this project.



The holder is very easy to make and is well-suited even for beginners.

Bookmarks can be crocheted inexpensively from leftover yarn and are always a welcome little gift for bookworms.
Here are a few examples from my shop:

For everyone who loves romantic stories:
 2 Sweet Bookmarks


For fans of horror literature:

For musicians:

To keep you warm enough even on chilly spring days, there’s the knitting pattern Hinode
