Who needs diamonds when you have leftover yarn? :-)
Thanks to a unique trick, this necklace holds its shape perfectly, and the semicircle forms almost on its own. Can be made with any type of yarn. The hook size is the only factor determining the size.

The amount of yarn needed is specified for each row. This way, you can even use up the tiniest leftovers. Unikata

With leftover yarn, you can very quickly make little girls really happy.

Even with very small leftovers, you can make really great swimwear for a dress-up doll.


Here is the pattern for the swimwear

For a swimsuit or a bikini, you need less than 5 g of yarn.
The swimwear is nice and stretchy, so it’s easy for little children’s hands to put on and take off.

Required skills: slip stitches

A slightly larger bit of leftover yarn, but still under 10 g, can be wonderfully made into dresses.


Here is the pattern for the dress with hat

This dress is also super stretchy and therefore easy to put on and take off.

Required skills:  slip stitches, single crochet, working into a magic ring (Magic circle)

My patterns include quite a few projects that only require a few bits of leftover yarn. For example:

my balloon cover

my booties / baby shoes

or my crocheted heart

Just stop by and take a look

I also have a few small suggestions for using up leftover yarn.

A little bag charm (Harry the Potato Gnome), for example, which can also be made in other colors. Or the beautiful, elegant bracelet.
