Chickens can flutter too,
these are super easy to knit, so even beginner knitters can conjure up
a whole flock of chickens!

They can also be knitted from somewhat larger leftover yarn; for the comb and the
beak you’ll need small scraps of potholder yarn.

They are knitted with knit and purl stitches.

The crochet parts use chain stitches, single crochet, and double crochet-

Strictly speaking, you “ride” in a hot air balloon, but the mouse says she “flies.” From up above, she can outsmart the cats on the ground!
The mouse in the hot air balloon is a varied crochet project and a wonderful decoration for a child’s room. It looks especially decorative by the window. The mouse sits loosely in the basket, so she can also get out to play sometimes.
You need 50 g of each color (natural, gray, mint), plus a Styrofoam ball (15 cm), stuffing, and safety eyes.

This little chef owl is the perfect little gift for all home cooks and owl fans! Under the keyring's apron, there is a small pocket for a shopping trolley token that closes with a zipper. That way, you'll always have your token with you when you shop.
Gather up some leftover yarn and crochet this cute owl right away!
You can find the pattern here!

This owl may have wings, but it stays nicely hanging on the door because it has an important job. It shows exactly whether someone is allowed to come in or not.

Children especially get a lot of joy from it, because they sometimes like to be undisturbed too. The guardian owl is also great to use on the toilet or bathroom door.

It’s very easy to crochet, even for beginners with basic skills. Leftover yarn is enough for this. How about a gift like this for the family at Easter?

These butterflies are made from photo cardstock and transparent paper, measure approx. 27.3 x 14.5 cm, and are easy for beginners to make, though you should have a little practice using a craft knife.
