If you’re looking for a quick little gift to bring along or give, there’s often nothing on hand. Make a few original candy jars from empty jam jars with a funny crocheted lid, for which you only need a few bits of leftover yarn. You can then fill the jar with sweets and you’ll always have a very personal gift that the recipient is sure to appreciate!

There’s, for example, the snowman who knits his own winter clothes (or crochets them, if you just use a toothpick). This funny idea is sure to go down well and is especially suitable for friends who do crafts themselves.
Here’s the pattern for the snowman!

Or you can crochet the monkey on the palm tree — perfect for coconut cookies!

Crochet Pattern for a Headband

A weekend is short, but you’re sure to find time for a headband.

The pattern repeat is one row, and you should be able to crochet single crochet, chain stitches, half double crochet, and double crochet.

The pattern includes written instructions, a crochet chart, and pictures.

I used various yarns with a yardage of 110–135 m per 50 grams. One skein of yarn was always enough.
