Treat the kids to these fun toys while using up your scraps. It is a win-win! These make a great stocking stuffer and are a breeze to stitch up.

This pattern is all about using up those leftover bits of yarn so you can go out and buy more yarn!! The scarf is worked in the round, so it's doubly thick, making that worsted weight yarn even warmer around your neck. Of course it would look great in just a few colors, but in the spirit of scrap busting I went color-crazy, and I'm kind of in love with it! Have fun and happy hooking!

These fingerless gloves were made for busting those scraps! You'll only need a very small amount of yarn for each row. Not interested in going “color crazy”? That's ok, these gloves will look great whether you are using just two colors, or a different color for each round. The most important thing is to have fun with it! For a size adult small/medium, use a J hook. For a size medium/large, use a K hook (in worsted weight). Gauge listed was worked with a J size hook.

It is hard to belive that you can make something so spectacular from scraps. Additionally, it is an easy pattern, good for beginners or people who have many kids in the familly and have to make a huge bunch in a short time As you can see, the combinations of hues are endless and don't have to be in traditional colors. Use various scraps of yarn and make this crochet easter toy one of a kind!

Bust through your stash of scraps with this easy, single crochet triangle shawl. Make it in a bunch of different colors like I did, or just a few. A self striping yarn would be perfect for this pattern. You will need approximately 800 yards of worsted weight yarn, depending on how big you want your shawl. Use a size L (8mm) crochet hook to give the shawl a nice drape, since single crochet tends to be on the stiff side. If you are doing shawl with crazy colors or a lot of stripes, do NOT wait until the end to weave in those tails. Trust me!

My Granny's series features one round granny squares. This makes it really great for using up those tiny bits of yarn in your stash. If you don't need a placemat, use it as a larger doily. You'll need 282 yards of worsted weight yarn. As a placemat, I recommend cotton since it's more durable, but as a doily, acrylic works too. I used Lily Sugar n Cream for my placemat. Alternatively, I recommend WeCrochet Dishie (cotton) or Red Heart Super Saver (acrylic). I have included instructions to make a variety of sizes depending on your preference. This placemat took me about 8.25 hours to complete.
