If you are a crocheter without a yarn stash, then I absolutely commend you! But if you have more than a bit of scrap yarn lying around then this is the list of over 100 crochet patterns for scrap yarn is for you 🙂
I had convinced myself that I only buy yarn with a specific project in mind. However, it was only when I decided to organize my yarn, that I discovered that I am indeed a bit of a yarn hoarder.
Now that my yarn is a lot more organized, I can see exactly what I have and I’m doing my best to work my way through it.
Crochet Patterns by Yarn Weight
For each of these scrap yarn crochet patterns, I list the recommended yarn weight, and the suggested yarn if it’s available. This allows you to see at a glance what you might be able to use from your stash.
I’ve also grouped the patterns by yarn weight so you can skip straight to each section.
View patterns by yarn weight:
- Patterns using Crochet Thread & #2/Fine Yarn
- Patterns using #3/DK/Lightweight Yarn
- Patterns using #4/Worsted/Medium Yarn
- Patterns using #5/Bulky Yarn
- Patterns using #6/Super Bulky Yarn
Now, let’s get crocheting!
Which brings me to the Stash Busting Challenge event, an exciting, stash-busting frenzy is running for the entire month of April!
I have joined together with a group of designers, who are each making a different pattern PDF available for free for ONE WEEK.
How does it work?
Each week, designers will share a new set of scrap yarn projects crochet and/or knit. Each of these patterns will be available as a free PDF to download for the duration of the week. The entire collection of projects for leftover yarn will be updated at 11:59 PM EST every Tuesday.
Sounds great, how do I get the PDFs!?
1. Come back to this post every week (you can signup for reminders below) Scroll down to the current week to see the featured patterns.
2. For each pattern that you would like to download, click on the link to go to the designer’s pattern page.
3. On the pattern page, find this button ->
This will bring you to the download page (either on Ravelry or the designer’s website). Then use the code SBCHALLENGE to claim your free PDF!

Hi! Thank you very much for this patterns. For me crochet make things easier.
This projects give the time to relax and focus in the lovely things of life.
This is good!
Big hugs and stay safe!
P.S. I’ve tried to dowload the Suze Anne Top and the Arewa Bracelets and the links does not work…
You’re so welcome Marcela! Thanks for letting me know about this issues – both designers are aware and it should be fixed really soon, I’ll keep you posted 🙂
Hello!
I have looked forward to these stash buster emails each week. Already working on multiple patterns!!!
I tried to download the blue elephant booties through the link and the code does not work in Ravelry stating it is expired. Thank you
Hi Beth, that code should be working now, apologies for that!
Thanks to everyone ❤ Love everything and thank you for hosting it also.
Hi, Just wanted to mention the whale link is incorrect. And a BIG thank you for all the great patterns!
Thanks so much for letting me know, all fixed now!
The code for Stash Busting Basket, N Stitch mug cozy or Flower Face Scrubs isn’t working.
Loving all the patterns!!
Hi Christina, sorry for the late reply, I think there were some timezone issues with Ravelry last night, did you manage to get the patterns?
A very big thank you to all the designers who have provided us with free patterns over the four weeks of the stash busting challenge.
You’re very welcome Sarah, thank you 🙂
Thanks so much for all the great patterns! Lots of gift ideas~
You’re so welcome Cindy, thank you!
Thank you so much for all your wonderful patterns and being part of the STASH BUSTING CHALLENGE. The flower pattern from Another Mum Fights the Dust is not working. Thank you for all you do. Amanda
I’m sorry it showed charged but somehow it downloaded. My mistake I downloaded free and forgot I downloaded it. Thank you for everything you do. Amanda
