I hate waste. I have great difficulty in throwing away those bits of scrap yarn .I'm utterly convinced it will come in handy, one day. I have a scrap box for all those odds and ends of yarn I can't part with.It is overflowing.

I love lipstick,lip gloss,I never leave home without it. I have come up with this pattern, a lipstick cozy.You can combine scraps of leftover sock yarns( fingering weight)It uses very little yarn 5 to 10grams. It is a very easy pattern ,even beginners will find it a breeze.

5-1o grams
2mm hook
tapestry needle

You can use any type of yarn and any crochet hook. It can solve those moments when you just have to crochet but you don't have alot of time .Make a few ,use them as little handmade gifts for teachers ,friends , a stocking filler, perfect for any age.The stitches are UK terms.

I wish I could go to the northern hemisphere!, Hate winter time, cold and dark, we do not have snow, but days are almost always clouded, and rainy. I began to work with nice summer colors, and I thought I could crochet a sun…..

Crochet: N° 00 steel hook, or E (3,5 mm) hook
Scrap thread (cotton) white, yellow and orange

8" (20 cm) diameter

Gauge not important, just use always the same hook size.
Mine was 3 rows 1" (2.5 cm), 5 sc 1" (2.5 cm)

For a dishcloth use 1 strand worsted cotton, do not block. (that was mine)

For a pot holder , you can use 2 strands together for a thighter stitches, do starch ( I use 1 part water, 2 parts sugar, heat until the sugar is dissolved, no more, or it will turn brown!), and block it. Believe me, it will be very stiff.

Row 1: with white Ch 3 join
Row 2 ; 5 sc in ring
Row 3: ch1 sc in same ch1, 2 sc in the next 4 sc ( 10 sc)
Row 4: ch1 sc in same ch1, 2 sc in the next 9 sc (20 sc)
Row 5: With yellow, ch 10 and join to ring with sl st
Row 6 : work 8 sc, 2 sc in the last 2 ch ( 12 sc) turn ch 1 to turn
Row 7 : work 2 sc in the first 4 sc BLO from now on, , work 4 in the next sc, work 3 sc in the next sc, work 5 sc in the next 5 sc do not join to ring
Row 8: join orange to last yellow sc, repeat row 6 and row 7, work sl st in the next white sc to join.
Row 9: join yellow to last orange sc, work 8 sc, 2 sc in the last 2 sc ch 1, turn
Row 10: work 2 sc in the first sc, work 4 sc, next st work 3 sc, work 5 sc and join to white with sl st.
Repeat row 5-10 until all the white sc are worked.

I created a coaster pattern because I didn't see one that I liked it has a ridged texture you can use it to keep drinks from making a stain on your table

Worsted Weight Cotton
an h hook
and a yarn needle

4"x4"

16 sc and 7 rows= 4"

I used single crochet

Ch 16

Row 1: sc in 2nd chain from hook across
Row 2 : ch 1 sc in blo until the end then sc in both loops
rep row 2 until piece measures 4"
do not fasten off 3 sc in corner st, sc across row, 3 sc in corner st, sc evenly upside 3 sc in corner st, sc across, 3 sc in corner st, sc across row then fasten off and weave in ends
