These baby booties are wonderful to knit from leftover yarn, since only the
main color needs a little more; the stripes can be as colorful as you like.

They are knitted with size 3 double-pointed needles; if you want them to be larger,
simply use yarn one weight thicker and size 3.5–4 needles!

The required knitting skills are:

> casting on stitches with a set of double-pointed needles
> knit stitches
> purl stitches
> increasing stitches
> decreasing stitches
> bind off

Crochet Pattern Möbius Cowl 1-2-3-4




(To purchase/download, please click the image)

Why not use leftover yarn for this? It would surely look pretty in colorful yarn too and  wonderfully jazzes up sweaters and shirts. 

This cowl is crocheted from approx. 60 g of a merino yarn with a yardage of 50 g – 160 m and hook size 3 – 4 (here with a 3.5 mm crochet hook) and is quickly finished in an afternoon. Beginners should allow themselves a little more crochet time. Other yarns with a suitable hook size can also be used. In my opinion, however, the pattern shows up better in finer yarns.

The Möbius technique in crochet is much easier than in knitting.

For the illustrated PDF pattern you only need basic crochet skills (chain stitches, single crochet, half double crochet, slip stitch). Links with tips for learning to crochet are included.

Not just for Christmas. With other leftover yarn, it makes a pretty scattered flower decoration for the whole year:

One flower consists of two parts, each of which can also be used separately. Finished size with the yarn listed below: approx. 7 cm in diameter.

The PDF pattern is richly illustrated.

All you need is a yarn remnant of approx. 10 g of a metallic yarn, e.g. used here: Nora Madeira, 25 g – 100 m, 80% viscose, 20% metallized polyester, for crochet hook size 2.5 - 3.0.
However, any yarn you like can also be used with a matching crochet hook size. The size of the finished piece will then change according to the yarn. You will also need a size 2.5 crochet hook, scissors, and a yarn needle.

These crochet skills are required:
chain stitches, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, treble crochet, slip stitches, crocheting in rows, and crocheting in rounds. The pattern includes link tips for crochet techniques.
