These little mandala sachets are fun to make with stash yarn but especially nice when made with alpaca yarn. The softness of alpaca invites squishing which releases the wonderful scent of lavender. Crocheting/knitting friends will appreciate the moth repellent quality of these sachets for their yarn stashes. Non-crafty friends will love the lavender scent when used as drawer sachets. They make a nice holiday gift and are easily personalized since there are so many color combinations to play with.

It’s always fun to be able to combine crafts like crochet and sewing, and this cowl features both! If you’re new to either craft, don’t worry; Felix is still the perfect project for you. As shown, the lining is a faux fur fabric which can be found on the bolt at a fabric store. You might also consider fleece or another soft fabric if fur isn’t your thing. Top things off with a handmade monogrammed tag, and you have a completely personalized gift for someone special.
