Thanks to the use of parcel twine, this bag can also withstand heavier shopping loads. If you like, you can also line the bag.

• With bag handle
• also as a drawstring pouch/shoulder bag – as a shopper
• or even carried on your back – “piggyback” – as a small backpack.
  
• Any yarn you like is possible with the appropriate hook size, used here: 250 g parcel twine
  (100% hemp), 200 g – 160 m yardage and 6.0 mm crochet hook;
  2 stitch markers recommended, cord stoppers if needed.
  
• Any desired size possible
• Also suitable for using up leftover yarn (color changes are explained)
• Easy to crochet – basic crochet skills are enough

Included in the download :

• PDF crochet pattern for the bag, cord, and crocheted heart – with photos, and the bag pattern also in a short version
• PDF Crochet Basics – basic crochet techniques – with photos

Turn old into new—in this case, turn an empty plastic bucket into a practical craft bucket. Here you can keep all your tools neatly organized. You’ll never have to search again and will always have everything ready. You can use different bucket sizes. Feel free to take a look at my examples.

To crochet such a lovely colorful bucket, you’ll need about 220 g of colorful Bravo leftover yarn (or similar; all yarns should have the same weight) and a size 3.5 crochet hook. And then you’re ready to get started!

I hope you enjoy this project—Ina

I have another example of upcycling ... you can very easily make a play ball for your cat from leftover felted yarn. Exactly how to do it is explained in the free pattern.

I hope you enjoy this project - yours, Ina

I’ve crocheted around some small Hipp jars here. But the pattern is written so that you can adapt it to any jar size.

All you need is some leftover yarn, a few beads for decoration, and a size 2.5 crochet hook.

The pattern uses: chain stitches, single crochet, double crochet, treble crochet, and slip stitches

And if you use beautiful Christmas colors instead of summer colors, you’ll also have a gorgeous decoration for Christmas dinner right away!
