Leftovers Weekend / Upcycling Weekend

Dear users, dear authors,
Do you have any leftovers? Here in this thread, you’ll find suitable patterns for a lovely upcycling weekend. Shop now.

@Authors,
2–3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget to include links, pictures, information, etc. All patterns promoted here must have at least 10 sales and a conversion rate of at least 2%, and they must not have been promoted in the forum within the past 3 weeks.

Upcycling—that's when something new, beautiful, and maybe even useful is created from things you would normally throw away.
Here are a few examples from my shop:


 
For this lucky piglet, the plastic capsule from a chocolate surprise egg was crocheted around. You can open the piglet and hide a little surprise in its belly. That way you get another surprise once the chocolate egg has been eaten.




 
You don't have to throw away cardboard toilet paper rolls either, because you can crochet around them too and make really charming figures from them, such as Chef Charly. The upper body can be removed, so you can use Charly as gift packaging. Give him together with a special recipe, a dinner invitation, or a cash gift!





And empty jam jars can also be reused. Here, one is turned into gift packaging for (homemade?) sweets. With the candy jar "Penguin Mom with Baby"
only the lid is crocheted around, so the jar can be washed without any problem.

You all probably know this: The more we knit or crochet, the bigger the mountain of leftover yarn gets—especially sock yarn in my case.
A fashionable accessory—but made from leftover yarn—is that even possible? ABSOLUTELY!
With the LOOP HAPPY SCRAPPY, you can use leftover 4-ply sock yarn and, of course, other yarns of the same weight! Here, stripes are knitted very easily, but with a little “extra” of “dandelions” that loosen up the striped pattern and add fun and excitement!
So let’s get to that mountain of leftovers!
You can find the knitting pattern with great tips on color design here:
