When you’re a beginner or you having picked up your crocheting hooks in a while, there’s a perfect project for you.
Just go through your leftovers or scraps of yarn you have at home and start with this little project. You don’t need a lot of yarn for it (about 10-15 g or 30-40 meters of DK yarn), nor a lot of time (30-50 minutes).
And a hook size 3 mm (for a gauge 19 stitches and 11 rows).
Once you make one hat, you will want to make more and more.
So what are you waiting for? There’s still time to get few sets for this Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
A download contains a pattern in British English, a pattern in American English and pictures how to make a pompom.

Do you want to add something unique to a wine gift box?
Would any of your friends or relatives appreciate something special?
A bit of a human touch to an ordinary gift?
Make as many hats with the pompoms as you need and brighten the wine bottles and a wine gift set. And each of them can be different.

Dress up a bottle and bring it to the party. You don’t have to wrap the bottle in the paper bag, nor anything. It’s a great way to save environment. And a host can use it as a decoration afterwards. So the wrapping doesn’t end up in the bin but as a beautiful decoration on a shelf. After the party, when the fun is over and a bottle of wine is gone, your unique handmade gift will still be there.

Be creative and make at least one handmade gift this festive season.
