Now it’s that time again when you get cozy in the evening with a book. So you always know where you left off last time (or rather, fell asleep), you definitely need a pretty bookmark.
Here are a few suggestions:


 Frog Prince Bookmark




Dragon Bookmark



  2 Heart Bookmarks 

You can crochet all the bookmarks with just a few bits of leftover yarn. I recommend using the thinnest cotton possible so the bookmark doesn’t make the book too bulky. They’re quite quick to make; you can surely finish several in one weekend and have a few pretty little hostess gifts or presents right away.
It’s best to get started right away!

Tania - a great accessory in a different shape.

The pattern, like all my patterns, is richly illustrated and describes in detail how you can crochet this great accessory yourself - even as a beginner (with good basic knowledge). For more advanced crocheters, a crochet chart is also included.

The scarf-shawl can easily be adjusted in length and width. It looks especially great when crocheted with gradient yarn.

A lovely decoration/Christmas tree ornament is made in three steps: 1 - crochet 2 - fold 3 - sew on beads.

Not much thread is needed to make one decoration, so these can be crocheted from thread leftovers. Ideal use for leftover thread!It crochets up very quickly, has an easy difficulty level, and should not be a problem at all for a beginner.

There are only a few days left until Halloween. If you haven’t decorated yet but would like to, I can warmly recommend this Halloween window picture – you’ll easily have enough time to make it this weekend.
