These little musical angels are so cute that you’ll want to keep them on display even after Christmas. You can also make them without musical instruments and give them as good-luck charms or guardian angels. They’re very easy to crochet—even beginners will have no trouble with them.
Use Catania by Schachenmayr (LL 125 m / 50 g), Catania fine (165 m / 50 g), and silver glitter yarn from Gründel (110 m / 25 g). Doll’s wool or mohair yarn also works best for the hair. You can find the instruments at craft stores. Just a few pieces of leftover yarn are enough for one little angel.

All you need is a leftover yarn of approx. 10 g of 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 with the appropriate crochet hook size can also be used. The size of the finished piece will then change according to the yarn. In addition, crochet hook size 2.5, scissors, and a yarn needle are needed here.

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.

Advent-themed - useful decor - not just for Christmas:

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



(To purchase/download, please click the image)

Quick to crochet in the popular dish sponge yarn (washable at 60°C in the dishwasher or washing machine) - also as a useful little (Christmas) gift..

Included in the download :

• PDF crochet pattern for a dish sponge ball with an 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 hanging loop according to the
dish sponge ball pattern.

The embroidered little face gives the dish sponge ball a funny touch for gifts. If the ball is pushed outward
(not filled), it is a smiling dish sponge;
pushed inward, it is a “Halloween face.” If left without a “face,”
the ball also looks great as a Christmas ornament .

Material 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, washable at 60°C
in the dishwasher, crochet hook 4.0;
If the dishcloth is used as a potholder, please use 100%
cotton yarn (potholder yarn) because of its heat resistance.

Whether as a bath sponge or a kitchen sponge, no more boredom in the bathroom or kitchen. This makes washing up really fun,
With the various fun animal-themed motifs, these homemade sponges are also great as gifts, especially for Christmas.
Beautifully packaged with soap or dish soap, they make an original and unique little gift.
