Dear users, dear designers,
do you have leftover yarn or materials? In this thread you’ll find phenomenal patterns that are great for using up scraps. Shop now.

@designers,
2-3 patterns per designer are enough. Don’t forget links, images, info, etc. All patterns advertised here in this thread must each have at least 10 sales / a CR of at least 2% and must not have been advertised in the forum in the past 3 weeks.

For these Christmas tree ornaments, I used glitter paper and holographic paper in addition to photo cardstock, and if you have other craft paper scraps of similar thickness, you can use those for this project as well.

By the way: Paper scraps that don’t look very Christmassy can be given a festive look with glitter liner borders and hand-drawn dots and stars.



The ornaments measure approximately 5 x 9 cm. They’re well-suited for crafters with a little experience in similar projects.

If you have about 35 g of leftover cotton yarn (yardage 170 m per 50 g), then I have a great idea for you.
Knit cloths for your mop.
They are washable, reusable, and your leftovers box will get lighter.

Following the motto “Cleaning with Heart,” I knitted little hearts into them.
That makes cleaning so much more fun.

The pattern includes a chart as well as detailed instructions,
in which I have written out every row for you stitch by stitch.

You can crochet cute little finger puppets from leftovers. There are no limits to your imagination and creativity. Animals are especially popular with children, so why not crochet a little finger puppet zoo? Wouldn’t that be a lovely idea for Christmas?
Or how about a finger puppet Advent calendar?


5 forest animals you can crochet with this pattern: squirrel, deer, owl, raccoon, and fox. The 5 friends meet regularly in a forest clearing and tell each other about their adventures.


And here is a pattern for 5 farm animals: billy goat, horse, sheep, pig, and cow.
These animals can also be crocheted wonderfully from leftover yarn. 


And finally, 3 Christmas finger puppets: snowman, Santa Claus, and moose.

All finger puppets are about 9 cm tall and fit on small children’s hands.

With these suggestions, you would already have half an Advent calendar filled. You can find even more crochet patterns for finger puppets here!

Doll clothes can definitely be bright and colorful. I knitted this little patchwork dress entirely from leftover yarn. You can really get creative here, and it’s a lot of fun to knit on one patch after another.

The pattern includes several sizes, so no doll has to be sad because she doesn’t get a little dress.

A wonderful Christmas gift that will make your leftover yarn disappear.
