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.

Who doesn't love headbands!? Here is a quick and easy pattern that you can easily customize. Shown is a headband with 2 different sized circles on one side... but the possibilities are endless. Make as many or as few circles as you would like. Make them in the same color or separate.

This will take up so little yarn, you could probably make 20 with one skein.

Any worsted yarn will do and whatever hook size you would like. I used H, but gauge is not important at all in this project.

You will need:

1. tape measure
2. stitch marker
3. small amount of 3 colors of yarn

yarn needle

roughly 35inches long.

gauge is not important

spike sc: a single crochet worked in an indicated stitch lower than the previous round of stitches. just draw your yarn up a little higher when working the spike sc.

row 1: with main color, make a chain approximately 17in long. place stitch marker at end of chain
row 2: continue making a chain, join with sl st in first ch
row 3: continue making a chain, join with sl st in the ch with a stitch marker. continue making a chain for desired length of tie band [I recommend roughly 10inches], fasten off.

join same yarn in other end of 3 chains and make other tie band

for circles:
smaller circle:
rnd 1: with color b, ch17, join with sl st to form a ring.
rnd 2: ch1, 22sc in ring, join with sl st to first sc. fasten off.
note: if it is not full enough for your preference, add a few more sc in ring.

bigger circle:
rnd 1: with color c, ch23, join with sl st to form ring.
