At a time when a lot of us cannot venture far with social isolation or lockdown , obtaining yarn can be difficult. But those of us who have been crocheting or knitting for any period will have a stash!
We all have that little bit of a skein left over from a previous project, or a skein or two that we bought thinking that it was pretty or you would find the perfect project for it. This round-up is aimed at helping you use those and making some space.
However you built up your stash (and stashes are great – after all who knew that we were preparing for a time when yarn shops would be forced to close their doors!) we all have one. Even if its just a couple of skeins, we have a challenge for you to get it used on a gorgeous project!
Like last week this post is packed with some really great stash-busting patterns.
Let’s start stash-busting….
Our pattern this week is the N Stitch mug cozy. If you haven’t tried the N Stitch yet this is the perfect opportunity to have a go and wonder why you haven’t come across it before! You can find our post with pattern links and links to a video tutorial here.
Joy of Motion Crochet has this really sweet crochet striped sunglasses pouch for you. The blues used here remind me of the ocean ….
Knitting with Chopsticks are offering the Sunday at the Pool Coaster. I love the colour combo she has used for these ones and how changing the colours emphasises different elements of this pattern!
Raffamussa Designs have these super sweet basket weave baby booties. Can you look at these without saying “awww”?
Desert Bloom Crafts have some awesome Quick and Easy Earrings for you. I love how cheery and bright these are.
These Spring Sparkle Coasters are this week’s offering from Noors Knits! Perfect for those barbecues or picnics in the garden!

Sarah from Ned and Mimi is giving you this zipper pouch, made using the moss stitch. So many uses and a great gift idea to help get you started on those Christmas gifts early! Fill it with make-up, hooks and yarn vouchers, pencils or whatever the intended recipient would like and voila!
This Butterfly Cardigan from E’Claire Makery is a style that I haven’t seen before! It’s a sweet summer staple.
Simply Hooked by Janet have the Team Spirit Scrunchies. So many colour combinations to be used! They are perfect for any girl, whether they consider themselves ‘girly’ or not! I made the ones from last week’s giveaway and my daughter loved them! It was my first time making scrunchies and they are super quick and kinda addictive lol.
These flower face scrubs from Burgundy and Bliss are fantastic! I’m thinking of pairing them with the zipper pouch from Ned and Mini and the washcloth from last week to create a perfect gift set for my sister in law!
This Sideways Dishcloth from No Hooks Given is one of the prettiest dishcloths I have seen in a while!
The Loop Hole Fox has the Assorted Rose Bouquet for you. Make a few and create a bouquet that will never wilt. I’m thinking about making one and using it as a bookmark … I can never have too many bookmarks!
This fox face brooch from Crochet Cloudberry is just the sweetest. If you don’t wear brooches turn them into key rings!
