This pattern creates a lacy flower cover for a plain existing button. You can use the same yarn as your garment or choose a contrasting one. Because the button itself peaks through the lace of the cover, choose a color button that compliments your garment as well.
How To Make Crochet Buttons
Ever need a button but cannot find any that match your sweater, jeans, or bags? Here's another fast and easy way to crochet on buttons.

Crochet Bone Ring Button Pattern
This button is crocheted around a bone ring, and has an open center. Use it in curtain ties, clutches and bags or even on coats.
This pattern is given for a button that’s one inch across. You could use the same method and crochet around any size bone ring for bigger or smaller buttons. You basically work enough stitches into the ring to fill it up and then slip stitch around for the second round.
Jar Cover
Next, this lighting project is a jar cover to give your tea lights that extra special mood. Of course, how complex these are is entirely up to you, but the shadows cast by the moving flame will be intricate and wonderful. In particular, the color of the yarn will also affect the overall ambiance of the light. Therefore, you will be able to really tune the mood in every corner and place.

Christmas Tree Snowflake Ornament
Christmas is just around the corner and crocheting your own Christmas ornaments and decorations, for yourself or for gifts, is a lovely way to get into the festive spirit. The size of the motif depends on the thread or yarn and the hook you are going to use. The finished size of the snowflake in the photo is 11 cm (about 4,3 inches) in diameter. I crocheted it with cotton thread size 10 and a 2 mm crochet hook. Besides the pattern, you can find here a very helpful free blocking template!
