Sweet little Christmas trees and bells are perfect as Christmas decorations or pendantsWith this very detailed 18-page pattern, you’ll be able to crochet your Christmas decorations very quickly, and lots of pictures will help you with the process.The finished figures are approx. 11 cm tall with the specified yarn (ecobebek). With yarns such as Catania (50g 125 m), they will be a little smaller, making them the perfect size for keychains or tree ornaments.To crochet the pendants you’ll need:A 2-3 mm crochet hook (depending on the yarn used) Yarn, I used Ecobebek (50g 105m) for the figures (approx. 11 cm tall). With thinner yarn, your figure will be correspondingly smaller. Of course, you can also use another yarn of your choice, but this will change the size of your figure. For making them you’ll need:50g in your main color (here ecobebek in the color Marple) black scraps to embroider the eyes (if you don’t want to use beads) and the mouth; I used sewing thread 4 times, small beads / lentil beads for the eyes, bells satin ribbon / little flowers rocaille beads, sequins to decorate your appliqués (If the figure is used as decoration; for baby toys, be sure to avoid small parts!) Colorful buttons, glass beads, craft felt in white for the icingIf you use a different yarn, you may need to adjust the yarn quantities.A darning needle for sewing in ends Scissors Sewing thread in a matching color to sew on the eyes and appliqués. Stuffing, possibly squeakers, rattle insertsTo crochet the little trees and bells, you need to know the following:Single crochet (sc) decreases, increases slip stitchClick here to go directly to the pattern

You can never have too many hats—and when they’re as stylish as these, you won’t want to take them off! Hats are also a wonderful way to use up leftover yarn.
My Swooosh hat is especially well suited for this, because the pattern is universal, meaning it works for all yarn weights.
The other two hats aren’t quite as easy to knit, but they make really impressive gifts!
Here are the patterns:
SWOOOSH (diagonally striped hat)
DANTE (hat with a striped brim)
POTZBLITZ (zigzag hat)
