@Authors,
2-3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget the link and image, as well as the usual information.

I think these little pouches look absolutely stunning in red. But they probably look just as great in any other color, too. All you need is a scrap of sock yarn (about 60 - 70m), a 3mm set of double-pointed needles, and you’re ready to go. They knit up very quickly, and the pattern is really simple.

Click here for the pattern.

And here’s another little bag made from sock yarn scraps—though I’d recommend using red yarn for the hearts :-)

You can find the pattern here.



This little bag is also quick to knit, and there’s a knitting chart for the hearts. These little bags are perfect for wrapping small gifts.

Pieps is perfect for leftover yarn because he isn’t very big 
and can be crocheted in every color imaginable.

Pieps was crocheted with Schachenmayr Catania, but you can also use 
any other yarn; then the size will vary a little.
The pattern is described in great detail and includes many helpful photos
.

Sani wishes you lots of fun and relaxing crochet time 
!

Crochet patterns for red leftover yarn

Santa Claus wears red, as you can tell from the laundry. Even he has laundry day sometimes, so he puts money in the gift sack instead of packages.

With this original money gift wrapping, you'll make twice the impression, because after the sack has been emptied, everything can still be used as decoration.

Quick to make from leftover yarn, even for beginners, and a lovely gift idea for Christmas or St. Nicholas Day.

The crocheted jars "Lichterzauber" are wonderfully suited for using up leftover yarn. They make lovely décor for your home and garden, can be fitted with an LED tealight or a small string of lights, and then glow in the colors of the yarn.

They are also wonderful as gifts.

They are also a great beginner project. The pattern includes many photos of the individual steps and detailed step-by-step explanations.

Only standard stitches are used: chain stitches, slip stitches, single crochet, and double crochet.

They were crocheted with Catania by Schachenmayr. But you can also use any other cotton yarn for hook size 3.

With just 15 g of sock yarn and a set of double-pointed needles in size 2 or 2.5 you can knit this beautiful, elegant evening gown. To add a touch of glamour, I also used a fine Lurex thread for the red dress. The doll’s mom will be delighted and will probably want one in pink, blue, and yellow too. It’s really quick to knit and looks fantastic.

The knitting pattern is also suitable for knitting beginners who already know how to knit with a set of double-pointed needles or would like to learn. Over 11 pages, I explain and show step by step how it is knitted. We only use knit and purl stitches.

I hope you enjoy knitting, playing, and giving it as a gift - yours, "Ina strickt"Click here to go directly to the pattern!

I also have a red doll dress available for the crochet fans. This one is part of the “Chic and Sexy” doll clothing series. All models are figure-hugging and modern.

The set includes 6 crochet patterns and 1 sewing pattern, so you can mix and match however you like:

• Corset top (can be combined with pants or a skirt)
• Short corset dress with halter neck
• Short, tight, strapless bustier dress
• Long, tight dress
• Elegant hat with a wide brim
• Clutch (short or long handle possible)
• Petticoat (hand-sewing pattern, so the skirt has more volume)

The crochet patterns are very suitable for crochet beginners, since I describe everything in great detail and with step-by-step photos
. For the more experienced among you, I have included a crochet chart for each model. Material:

• Catania Fine (yardage 165 g/50 m) and

I hope you enjoy the patterns!

Up to children's shoe size 26, you only need 100 g of felting wool for these felt moccasins. They knit up quickly, and the edging is crocheted. The washing machine takes care of the felting. Then just add a non-slip rubber coating to the sole, and a pair of super-comfy, soft, warm, and guaranteed one-of-a-kind slippers for your child or grandchild is ready. Surely no other child at daycare will have bright red ones like these. You'll probably often be asked about these lovely slippers and may then get to make some for their friends, too. They're also so easy to tuck into a backpack when you're traveling or invited somewhere.

I hope you have lots of fun with this project.
