last minute: St. Nicholas patterns from leftover yarn / quick projects

Dear users, dear authors,
here are patterns for St. Nicholas that you can make with leftover yarn and very little time. So if you want to quickly make some last-minute St. Nicholas decorations or fillers for the St. Nicholas boot, e.g. small animals / amigurumi, craft, then this is your thread.

@everyone,
please only present patterns that can be made quickly and with leftover yarn. 2–3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget the link and image, as well as the usual info.

How about the cute reindeer keychain “Jonny”?
Jonny is quick to crochet and is also perfect as a bag charm or tree ornament. 
What you’ll need:

• Approx. 10g of yarn in brown/beige, suitable for a 1.5 mm crochet hook (e.g. “Manuela” by Schoeller & Stahl). Leftover yarn in red and dark brown for the nose and antlers, also suitable for a 1.5 mm hook.
• Darning needle and scissors
• 1.5 mm crochet hook
• stitch marker
• stuffing
• Googly eyes and/or leftover black yarn for embroidering the face
• Key ring or thread for hanging.

Difficulty level: Easy, but because of the small crochet hook, you should already have worked on larger pieces and be confident crocheting single crochet stitches in continuous rounds. You should also be able to make a magic ring, increase and decrease stitches, and sew on individual parts. Length: 13-page crochet pattern, illustrated with lots of pictures. I also won’t leave you on your own when it comes to sewing the individual parts together ;-)

Dish sponge ball with or without a face plus dishcloth - crochet pattern



(To purchase/download, please click the image)

.. quick to crochet in one evening in front of the TV..

Included in the download :

• PDF crochet pattern for a dish sponge ball with embroidered face (diameter approx. 7 cm)
• PDF crochet pattern for a dishcloth (dimensions: approx. 20 cm x 20 cm)

Both patterns include a short version and a detailed, illustrated pattern plus crochet basics with all stitches used.
Addition to the pattern for the dishcloth: if you would like to crochet a hanging loop onto the cloth, you can crochet the loop according to the dish sponge ball pattern.

The embroidered little face gives the dish sponge ball a fun touch for gifts. If the ball (not filled) is pushed outward, it is a smiling dish sponge; pushed inward, it is a “Halloween face.” If left without a “face,” it is an unbreakable and washable Christmas tree ornament.

Materials for 1 dishcloth + 1 dish sponge ball:
approx. 50 g Rico Creative Bubble, 100% polyester, e.g. color 007 light blue + 50 g (or leftover yarn) col. 012 black, 50 g – 100 m, dishwasher-safe at 60 °C, crochet hook 4.0; scissors, yarn needle for weaving in ends.
PLEASE NOTE: In this yarn, black is only suitable for embroidering or for borders.
If the dishcloth is used as a potholder , please use 100% cotton yarn (potholder yarn) because of its heat resistance.

They can be placed on the festive table as coasters for candleholders or used as door and window decorations. You don’t need much yarn to make a snowflake, so these can be crocheted from leftover yarn.
