Lillian, which was popular in the Showa era, has made a comeback during the self-isolation of the COVID period.

Some of you may remember the cylindrical knitting tool, but there’s also a wooden Y-shaped Lillian knitting tool.

The cylindrical one uses a knitting needle, while the wooden one is worked with your fingers.

Even small children can use their hands to make projects.

You can even make a Y-shaped Lillian tool out of cardboard, so why not give it a try? By wrapping yarn around the Y-shaped part, you can create simple decorations like butterflies and flowers.

With their rustic look, these handmade pieces bring a warm, handcrafted feel when displayed indoors.

A mat woven with anti-slip sheets

I tried making a yarn mat with 100-yen shop items ♡ #shorts #100yenDIY #handmade #yarn

Many people use non-slip mats to prevent shifting at the entrance or in the bathroom.

If you use a non-slip sheet with small holes, you can make a knitted mat by taking advantage of those holes.

Thread yarn through the holes in the sheet and keep knitting.

Layer another non-slip sheet on top and crochet the edging around both sheets together.

Add a frill to complete a cute, furry-looking mat.

Since the steps aren’t too complicated, it seems like something you could make with your child.

The frilled design also gives it a princess-like feel, so children who love princesses are likely to enjoy it.

bracelet

I made 50 in one day and Sold them all! Super genius idea with yarn and paper

Are you familiar with kumihimo? Some of you might know it from the film “Your Name.” Kumihimo are braids made by interlacing fine silk or cotton threads, and they’re considered a traditional Japanese craft.

Although they may look complicated in person, there’s a simple way to make them.

Prepare a round piece of cardboard with eight notches around the edge and a hole in the center.

Thread seven strands of yarn in different colors through the center hole.

Place one strand in each notch, leaving one notch empty, and then braid by moving the strands one by one into the empty notch.

The finished cord can be used as a bracelet, or reshaped into a strap.

The steps are easy to follow, so it’s said to be a craft that older adults can comfortably enjoy making.

neck warmer

Here’s an idea for a neck warmer.

A neck warmer is a cold-weather item that covers and warms your neck, right? Not only in the winter when you really feel the cold, but also whenever there’s a chill in the air, warming your neck quickly can help prevent body heat from escaping, so some people use one regularly.

This time, let’s try making one by hand using yarn.

All you need is chunky yarn and an 8 mm crochet hook.

Once you learn a few tips, you can finish it with simple steps, so take this chance to give it a try.

Simple coaster

I made colorful, personality-packed yarn coasters ♡TranslationHitotema#Shonan#WantToConnectWithCaregivers

♪ Original song – hitotema_sourcier – hitotema_sourcier

Brighten up your daily tea time! Here are some easy coaster ideas.

Coasters are flat items placed under glasses or cups.

They protect your table from condensation and stains that appear when a cold drink sits for a while, and they also serve as decorative accents to elevate your table’s look.

This time, let’s handcraft coasters using materials from a 100-yen shop.

You’ll need mesh used for plant pots, a yarn needle, and yarn in your favorite colors.

With so much freedom in design and color, it’s exciting, isn’t it?
