Over the weekend, you can relax and crochet
the cute floppy calf.
It is made from acrylic yarn (Bravo by Schachenmayr), but can also be crocheted with any yarn you like, although the size of 39 cm may change. 
The pattern is very well suited for beginners, but experienced crocheters will enjoy it too!

A soul warmer like this is ideal for spring and summer.
In this mustard yellow, it’s simply unbeatable!

This creative zigzag pattern is simply fun and looks fantastic on top of that.
The edging is worked in a relief pattern, which is simple—yet very effective.

The cut of the soul warmer works entirely without decreases or increases...
... which makes it absolutely recommended for beginners, too!

A detailed description guides you through the crochet process.
For clarification, the pattern includes 3 crochet charts.
In addition, 3 schematics help you through the crochet process step by step.

This pattern is designed for sizes S/M/L/XL.
However, the pattern explains how the shrug can be adapted very easily to any size.
The included cut and the gauge help with that!

And here’s where to find the pattern and more details...

For this fold-over scarf/cowl, you’ll need less than 100 grams total if your yarn has a yardage of about 150 meters per 50 grams. Sewn together cleverly and folded over, it keeps you nice and warm in the front without a thick bulge at the nape of your neck.

The pattern is simple; the scarf’s appeal comes from the play of colors. So use a leftover yarn cake, other leftover yarn, or gradient yarn.

Have fun, and best regards
Caro

A flower bed under the ceiling? That’s roughly what this flower ball looks like — and the best thing about it is that this flower bed requires no work at all: once you’ve made it, the ball will delight you every day with its colorful flowers, without you having to water it or pull weeds.


 
The flower ball is made from photo cardstock and is about 18 cm in diameter. The ball is very easy to make, although cutting out the flowers does take a bit of time.

Click here for the crochet pattern for the little shopping bag with carrots and lemons

This shopping bag for toddlers can be crocheted very easily and quickly from leftover yarn. It also comes with a few lemons and carrots for the children's play shop.


The best thing to do is crochet the food for the play kitchen for your child or grandchild at the same time. You're guaranteed to bring them lots of joy, because children want to copy everything the grown-ups do. All you need is a little leftover yarn in different colors, and you're ready to go.

On the weekend you have time, so you can certainly start something a bit bigger. How about a chic summer scarf that you can wear in the evening at a garden party? On one of the following weekends, of course—it's probably too late for this weekend. Although, it works up so quickly, you won't believe your eyes.
You'll need thick cotton yarn and matching knitting needles.

Here is the pattern.

If you’d like to use up a few cotton leftovers and don’t want to think too much while relaxing in the garden or on the balcony, you can try making a potholder or a dishcloth. Thick cotton, knitting needles, and off you go—so easy!

You can find the pattern here.

The Bundesliga is on break and the World Cup doesn’t start until June... Are you already experiencing withdrawal symptoms? Then why not pass the soccer-free time by crocheting a few soccer-themed projects!
Pauli, the soccer panda is a fun little good-luck charm for every soccer fan! You can crochet him from just a little leftover yarn, and then he’ll dangle from your keychain or bag—and everyone will know which team you’re rooting for! Of course, you can also choose the colors of your favorite club instead of the German national colors.

***************************************************************************

Or would you prefer something a little bigger? Then why not crochet Tooorsten, the soccer mascot

Tooorsten is just under 20 cm tall with his legs and cap and can show off your soccer enthusiasm on the rear shelf of your car. To crochet him, you’ll need about half a ball each of white and black cotton yarn, plus a little red and yellow.

****************************************************************************

And if you still have a few scraps left over, you can use them to crochet this soccer keychain:

You really only need a tiny scrap of yarn for this one, and the pattern is free!

It can be nice and colorful



Crochet pattern for a balloon cover. The ball is crocheted from lots of granny squares, so we can use up a lot of leftover yarn. 

I have crocheted many balls from cotton, but leftover sock yarn has also already been made into a ball. In the pattern, the granny squares are shown with both a crochet chart and written instructions row by row. The assembly of the granny squares is illustrated with pictures.

Here is the pattern

Bangles or bracelets are the perfect accessory for any outfit and always catch the eye. Here, I’ll show you a special method for making stylish bangles quickly and easily with just a few materials.

All you need is an old plastic bottle and some yarn (and maybe a rhinestone chain)—and in no time at all, you’ll have a truly unique piece of jewelry. Also great as a gift or a little something to bring along.



The intricate pattern, the harmonious color combinations, and the pleasantly
soft material make these pieces special and one-of-a-kind.
