If you’d like to try Tunisian crochet, this
“Origami” market bag is absolutely perfect for practice. In bright yellow-orange shades, it’s especially well suited to summer.
Why did I call it an origami bag? Well, quite simply: you crochet just one rectangle, which is then folded and sewn together. That means you don’t have to worry about any increases or decreases, or about any color changes if you use gradient yarn, and you can focus entirely on the new technique, which is explained in detail in the pattern.
All you need is a Tunisian crochet hook, cotton yarn, and the pattern!


A simple
doll dress with a cowl neckline can be crocheted quickly from leftover yarn. In the pattern, you’ll find more variations of this dress: with fringe and an openwork panel, or a pleated skirt. So with this crochet pattern, you can crochet lots of different little dresses for fashion dolls.

This cute
dish sponge chick can be crocheted from leftover sponge yarn, and it’s not only decorative but also extremely practical. Its slightly rough surface easily deals with dried-on food residue. You can also use the sponge in the bathroom for showering or as a massage sponge.
The crocheted piece can be washed in the washing machine at 60° without losing its shape or color. It comes out of the machine almost dry, so it can be used again right away.
