Crochet can be as simple or complex as you want
All you need is a hook and some yarn.

Loom Knitting
Tissue box cover |

Project: tissue box cover
Size: 8 ¾ inches by 4 1/4 th inches
Tools: 31 peg loom, hook, yarn needle
Supplies: small amounts double strands of 4-5 ply yarn, tissue box
Cast onto all the pegs of your loom and knit in the round for 9 rounds. For round 10 you will knit to the 30th peg and turn. Flat knit for 18 rows. Then, knit in the round for 8 rounds. Knit off all your stitches and weave in your tails. This creates a basic tissue box cover.
For a pocket, cast onto 6 pegs and flat knit for 30 rows. Bind off all stitches and leave a long tail when you cut the thread. Sew the pocket to the front of the tissue box. You may sew on multiple pockets, as I did on my second tissue box cover or 1 long pocket. This can hold a small bottle of hand gel, a lip balm or any other handy item nearby with your tissues

Frog on a loom

This idea came to me after I learned sock making on the loom.
You need a 12 peg mitten or flower loom, small amounts of green yarn and a large eyed needle. For the eyes you can use little animal eyes or embroider them on with black thread.
On the 12 peg loom,cast on all the pegs and knit 3 rows.
In row 4 knit first 6 stitches flat for 3 rows, then continue to knit around. Knit 6 more rows. Cast off.
You will need to shape the frog so that his chin folds in under his face.
For the lily pad, cast on first 3 pegs, flat knit for 3 rows. Knit 1 stitch. Repeat this process all around the loom, so that you have 3 curved edges separated by single stitches. Knit 6
rounds.
With a large eyed needle pick off all the stitches and draw row closed. Sew the frog to the lily pad. If it's not for a young child add eyes. Or you might embroider/paint the eyes onto the frog.

Use a 12 peg loom, small bit of yarn, and a yarn hook. I added eyes, just for my own amusement.
On the 12 peg loom, start with a long tail in place, e-wrap the first stitch, e-wrap it again and pull the first loop over the top loop. I’ve found this makes a solid start. E-wrap the remaining pegs.
Rounds 1-5: We’ll be working in the round, so keep e-wrapping. Lift the bottom loops over the top loops. Remember this is the twisted knit stitch, make with e-wrap.
Round 6: E-wrap first 6 pegs, turn, knit back.
Round 7: Skip 1st peg, knit 4, turn,
Round 8: Skip 1st peg, knit 2, bring 2nd stitch over to 1st stitch and bind off. Leave a long tail.
Attach a slip stitch to 1st remaining stitch, leaving a long tail. Repeat rounds 6-8.
Stuff the heart lightly. If adding safety eyes, attach them. Sew the heart closed, Weave the tails in except 2 tails to bead and tie closed. You can attach to a key ring, if wanted
