You can easily make this little airplane keychain in time for Father’s Day! It’s crocheted in no time—even for beginners—because it’s so simple. Let it dangle from a nice bottle of wine or use it as a gift tag on a book about airplanes. Find the pattern here!

This little bookmark knits up in a flash—just in case you have a father who reads books.

You can find the pattern here.



All you need for it is a bit of cotton yarn (about 20 m), knitting needles, and 1 hour of time. A knitting chart helps with the lace pattern.

Dads eat eggs too..

Knitting pattern Egg Cozy BIG-GI - quick and easy


(To purchase/download, please click the image)

Funny egg cozies for Father's Day too! Plus, an ideal way to use up leftover yarn.

Quick and easy to knit in one TV evening, they make a last-minute gift for any occasion.

Basic knitting skills are enough. 
We knit in rounds with a set of double-pointed needles. Embellishments are possible as desired and according to your own creativity.

Material:
Basically, you can use any yarn with a slightly smaller needle size than stated on the label.

1 egg cozy: approx. 10 g – 15 g yarn (leftover) + bits of leftover yarn for decorating;
here: set of double-pointed needles size 4.0 and crochet hook approx. 3.0 for “knotting in the hair”;
yarn needle for weaving in ends, sewing needle and buttons if needed, tape measure, scissors.
Recommendation: safety eyes if the egg cozies are used as amigurumi for small children.


Included in the PDF download:

  • Brief pattern in text form, designed for yarns with approx. 105 m yardage per 50 g
  • Step-by-step illustrated pattern, designed for yarns with approx. 85 m yardage per 50 g

each knitted with a set of double-pointed needles size 4.0 (then the egg cozies will be nice and dense and stand up by themselves)

  • Photo tutorial “Embroidering in duplicate stitch
  • Photo tutorial       “Knotting in hair with a crochet hook "
  • Separate PDF pattern for the “double long-tail cast-on

      The dog....
                  
A man and his dog ;-)
The charms are quick to make and are an ideal cute way to use up leftover yarn.
For all dog lovers. As a keychain or bag charm. 
10–20 g of leftover wool/yarn, the right crochet hook (size 2–3), a little stuffing, and optionally two small eyes if you do not want to embroider them on. Chain stitches, single crochet, increases and decreases. Then the charm is practically finished :-) Anyone who has crocheted occasionally will enjoy this dog. 


Have fun crocheting :-)
