When knitting socks, you usually have a bit of yarn left over. At least that’s how it is for me. Then you end up with lots of colorful leftovers and aren’t quite sure what to do with them. My suggestion: make little gift bags from them! They look very pretty in bright colors, and they’re also very quick to knit.

Here’s the pattern.

Whether you’re at the beach in Rimini or on Copacabana, at a quarry lake or in an ice cream parlor, a handmade bracelet will make you look great. What’s more, you can use it to knit up some colorful leftover cotton yarn.
