Below, I'd like to introduce you to two of my patterns where you can use up your leftover yarn and also do some upcycling, because you turn an empty yogurt jar into a wonderful decorative item... namely these two lanterns.

With them, you can bring cozy, atmospheric light into your home or into the garden / onto the terrace. You can use your favorite colors. The crocheted jars also make a great gift idea when you need a little something or are spontaneously invited somewhere. The lanterns are crocheted in no time, doable even for beginners, and thus ensure a quick sense of achievement.

Both patterns include many pictures and detailed step-by-step explanations. Only the so-called standard stitches are needed.
