A great way to make good use of pretty leftovers.It works up quickly, has an easy difficulty level, and should be no problem for a beginner. The detailed pattern consists of 14 pages and is described step by step in German with numerous photos.

This pattern is magical, because you can turn a leftover into a beautiful star made from granny triangles ! :-)

The crocheted stars in the picture are made with Catania by Schachenmayr (100% cotton, 125 m yardage per 50 g), and you only need about 25 g for one large star and only about 16 g for one small one. But you can also use any other yarn.

Using up leftover yarn
In my shop there are lots of small items that are perfect for this
e.g. the many different Advent calendar animals
the bird can be crocheted in different colors, nice and colorful,
and the thickness of the yarn determines how big the gift can be
that fits inside the belly.
