Although unusual, this animal bookmark is an almost obvious choice. After all, the giraffe’s long, thin neck is a no-brainer for transforming into the bookmark’s ribbon.

Animal Crossing Leaf Coaster
Of course, an animal coaster is not only the animal itself, but the trails it leaves. So, here is a fun and interesting project for a leaf-shaped coaster that has been nibbled by some critter.

Simple Home Basket
The Simple Home Basket is big, sturdy, and perfect in any room of the home! Pick out the two colors of Red Heart Sweet Home that fit your decor and whip one up with this free crochet basket pattern on Moogly! Almost all of the two balls get used because this basket is made with a liner. It's this liner (combined with a smaller hook) that give the Simple Home Basket its sturdiness and ability to keep its shape and stand up on its own! I love the modern look of this crochet basket pattern with the neutral stripes and chalkboard-look label. And I've included instructions for making the custom label as well!
Plastic Bag Holder - Free Crochet Pattern
Recently we made a move into a new house, as we were unpacking I began to collect a large pile of plastic grocery bags. I generally use this bags pretty often so I didn’t want to throw them away. That’s when I realized I didn’t have a bag holder to put them in. Moving can be pretty expensive so the last thing I wanted to do was purchase one knowing full well I could make one myself, so I did!
You can easily make this bag as long as you want to fit more grocery bags, my family is pretty small so I made a smaller bag holder. If you want a larger one just work more rounds in-between the increases/decreases.
I always recommend using cotton yarn when working an anything household related. For this pattern I used Peaches and Cream’s Cotton yarn which you can find HERE. They have so many colors to choose from!

Sheep Coaster
Baa baa flat sheep, have you got any java? Indeed it does, and this animal coaster is a wonderful way of transforming an animal that's round and fluffy into a flat disk that supports your morning cuppa. Lastly, they would also make a wonderful present for a housewarming or a summer visit with friends you haven’t seen for a while.
