Yarn Scraps – What Are They Good For?<\/h2>\n

Hello friends! I hope you are all having fun with the Mixed Stitch Blanket Crochet Along<\/a>! Some of you have shared your work so far, and I am so inspired by your creativity!<\/p>\n

Today I want to talk about yarn scraps! I know you all have some lying around that you don’t know what to do with! I’m going to show you a couple of ways that I use my yarn scraps. My mama raised me not to waste anything, and I take that very seriously when it comes to yarn! I think it’s a fun challenge to find ways to use this “useless” yarn. I also like looking over 2 or 3 different projects knowing they have a piece of the same skein.

My go to solution for leftover yarn is always to make granny squares!! Check out my step by step tutorial<\/a> on how to make these. The tutorial is a part of the Hip to be Square Crochet Along<\/a>! With my scrap yarn I make each square doing two rounds of the pattern. That way I have a box full of squares that are all the same size to make something with at a later time!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One way to use these granny squares is to make an infinity scarf. They are so versatile! To make this scarf, I used Red Heart yarn in Aran<\/a>\u00a0as the “base” color. I did one extra round for each granny square with that color. I then used THIS<\/a> method to join the squares together.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Finish off by sewing the two ends together, then do 1 row of *sc, ch1* around the edges to give it a finished look. I think it is truly a one of a kind piece, and I love it because I can see the other things I made in the colors!<\/p>\n

If a scarf isn’t your jam, how about a colorful granny square blanket. I am so inspired by this<\/a> post over at Attic24.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I add to my own stash of granny squares with each different color that I use! Once I had a box full, I turned all those squares into the Stash Buster Baby Blanket<\/a>!<\/p>\n

I’d love to hear how you all use up your yarn scraps! I’m always looking for new ways to be thrifty and crafty at the same time.<\/p>\n

Please, please, please feel free to share your work with me! I would love to see your progress and finished pieces. Half the joy of creating is sharing it!
