To keep track of where you left off while reading (or reading aloud), you’ll definitely need a bookmark! You can crochet this fun Frog Prince using a few pieces of leftover yarn (not too thick, so the bookmark isn’t too bulky). It’s very easy to crochet and, of course, fits perfectly in a fairy tale book. A lovely gift for a little bookworm!

I wish you lots of joy with them and beautiful results—yours, Ina

This is one of my favorite projects. Whenever my yarn basket is overflowing, I crochet a new craft bucket and give it as a gift—sometimes filled with yarn—to a crafting friend. Every time, there is great joy over this practical helper. You can store all your crafting tools and your current project in it, carry it around, and always have everything together. Finally, organization that’s fun.

I hope you have lots of fun with this practical project. Yours, Ina

Another suggestion for using up accumulated leftover yarn. For this, though, you’ll need a bit more than for the craft basket. The round crocheted Kunterbunt rug feels right at home in any child’s room. It’s also very easy for crochet beginners to make. The back is made non-slip.

I wish you lots of fun with the pattern ... but be careful, it’s a little addictive. Best wishes - Yours, Ina

Crochet pattern for a ball



There’s still time to finish it before the 2018 World Cup kicks off. Why not crochet it in black and white, too?

This cover is filled with a balloon. It’s crocheted using simple granny squares, which are sewn together at the end. The balloon is well protected inside the cover and can’t pop. If it gets dirty, you can simply machine-wash it, and it’ll dry quickly.

Cotton yarn works well, but leftover sock yarn can also be used here.
