1. Crochet ice creams

Another long- lasting favourite project. These mega-sized crocheted ice creams serve as pillow or as a funny statement for your garden seat. These ice creams are easy to crochet for anyone with a basic knowledge of crochet. Bring the summer into your home and crochet an XXL ice cream! These maxi ice creams are crocheted with Hoooked Zpagetti.

3. Crochet fanny pack

This is an ideal bag for on the go. Do you like to keep your important belongings close by? Then crochet this cool "bum bag” and keep your hands free. This crochet fanny bag holds all your essentials and can be strapped around your waist or worn cross-shoulder when you are hiking or travelling.

4. Macramé necklace

Are you looking for some affordable boho-Ibiza vibes in your summer wardrobe? Then use some leftover macramé yarn to tie this necklace with soft fringes. We made this necklace with leftover Spesso Chunky Cotton yarn. The macramé necklace is very easy to knot and super cool to combine with a crocheted or knitted bag, made with the same or similar yarn!
