31 Scrap Yarn Crochet Projects | Stash Busting Challenge Week 3
Whether you save all of your unused yarn in a box or you have some skeins that you purchased and never used, we all need to figure out what to do with our scrap yarn. Now that we’re on Week 3 of the Stash Busting Challenge, you have 31 more scrap yarn crochet projects to choose from! Which project will you make?
If you haven’t heard about the Stash Busting Challenge yet, where have you been?! Click here to learn all about the challenge and how it works.
Each week we gather more and more designers to bring you more scrap yarn crochet projects and today’s list has become pretty long. During this pandemic, our goal is to bring people together and that’s why we put together this challenge.
I encourage and challenge you to participate in the Stash Busting Challenge not only to use up your scrap yarn, but also to get your mind off of the things we can’t control and replace it with a bit of happiness and community.
We may be alone, but we’re alone together.
By the way, this is how the Stash Busting Challenge works in a nutshell. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
Craft The Day Away
If you’re like me and you enjoy crafting in all kinds of different ways (or maybe you just want to learn more about crochet!), I highly recommend checking out Bluprint (formerly known as Craftsy).
They have an amazing selection of creative education classes ranging from crochet to gardening to cooking to painting… Honestly I could go on and on. Head over to their site, click “Crafts” and you’ll see a drop down of all the craft categories they offer.
I’ve had their subscription for years and now that I’ve taken most of their crochet classes, I’m off to learn how to start a vegetable garden! What will you try?

31 Scrap Yarn Crochet Projects To Bust Your Stash
Ear Warmer Pattern
I love how unique this ear warmer looks and I looove the sparkle effect of this yarn!
Assorted Crochet Rose Bouquet
This Rose Bouquet is so cute. It would be a great Mother's Day gift or just a nice way to touch up your home decor without having to buy new flowers every week.
Reusable Crochet Ear Protector For Face Masks
These crochet ear protectors are currently all the rage, but I wanted to make mine different. These ear savers are sturdy, durable, and they come with care instructions!
Spring Modern Granny Infinity Scarf
This Spring Infinity Scarf is such a simple way to add a little pop to your wardrobe and bust your stash at the same time.
Sunday At The Pool Coaster
We might be stuck at home at the moment, but that shouldn't stop us from sitting out by the pool. Whether is a big pool or baby pool, we can still get our tan on with a nice drink on some of these beautiful coasters.
Crossover Baby Booties (Knit & Crochet)
Last week a shared a stash busting pattern for some simple baby booties and this week we have a similar pattern but for knit! I don't knit personally, but if you knit and crochet then this might be a nice quick break. They're so cute!
Butterfly Cardigan Crochet Pattern
I love that this pattern is so simple yet so cute! All you have to do is make two rectangular panels, sew them together, and you have yourself a cardigan.
Spring Sparkle Coasters
Here's another set of patterns to practice your tunisian crochet stitches. If you haven't already tried it, tunisian crochet is addicting and you're going to love it especially if you're ready to try something new.
Easy AF Crochet Headband/Ribbon
I am completely in love with this headband and maybe even a little jealous because I tried to design something like this and totally failed. Brittany's headband is spot on and I'm absolutely making this for myself!
Easy Boho Evening Purse
I love the fringey boho style of this purse and I really want to make one in black. It uses a bulkier yarn making it quick to work up and ready to take to your next night out with friends (once this quarantines over of course) 😅
Short and Chunky Fingerless Gloves
Winter might have already come and gone, but it's never too late to make some cozy fingerless gloves either for yourself, for friends/family, or to start stocking up for fall/winter craft fairs!
Crochet Striped Sunglasses Pouch
There are two things I need this summer, sunglasses and a pouch for said sunglasses. And this sunglasses pouch is so cute I'm going to have to make it first to encourage myself to buy a pair of sunglasses 😆
Crochet Zipper Pouch using the Moss Stitch
This is one zipper pouch that I'm going to have to make! The moss stitch is already one of my favorite stitches, but I really like that she also explains how to create a lining and add a zipper.
Team Spirit Scrunchie
I've never seen scrunchies using multiple colors before and I really like it. It would be a great gift if you wanted to make team colors for friends and family. Plus, scrunchies sell really well at crafts fairs.
Diamond Bobble Scrubby
How fun are bobbles? They're one of my favorite stitches and they make for a really great scrubby!
Quick and Easy Crochet Earrings Pattern
Making a pair of earrings is on my crochet bucket list for sure. Honestly, I was so into the idea at one point that I bought a bunch of earring holders but never used them 😬
Venus’s Looking Glass Motif
Who doesn't love a beautiful motif pattern? I bet a bunch of these in different colors would make one beautiful blanket.
Diamonds Hat
Courtney's designs are always so unique. I love the way she used post stitches to create a diamond pattern on this beanie.
Basketweave Baby Booties
The basketweave stitch is such a pretty stitch and I love that it's used to make this pair of baby booties!
Flower Face Scrubbies Crochet Pattern
These Flower Face Scrubbies are cute AND useful! Make a set for yourself or put together a basket of self-care products, including some face scrubbies of course, as a gift.
Crochet Fox Head
These are so cute and such a great little idea. This fox head can be used as a Christmas ornament or even to hang up in a nursery for some extra wall decor.
The Classic Cowl
I love the look of this cowl. It's light and airy, but also cozy when you double wrap it. It's the perfect combination of a cowl, especially for those of us in warmer weather climates!
Tunisian Mug Rug Crochet Pattern
I am a tad obsessed with this Tunisian Mug Rug. If I haven't said it enough already, I. Love. Tunisian. Crochet. These coasters would be so fun to make and I just love the fringe.
Spiral Baby Hat
One of my favorite techniques, other than holding multiple strands of yarn, is working into the back loop. I love that you can do something so simple and it creates a completely different look and texture.
Simple Basket Crochet Pattern
Basket patterns are some of my favorite patterns because they are always so useful. You can never have too many baskets! They can be used to decorate any area of your home to make it look a little more tidy. And if you think you have too many, I bet your friends don't!
Tunisian Crochet Cowl
Here's another tunisian crochet pattern for you! Did I mention that I'm obsessed with tunisian? Sometimes we can lose our 'cro-jo' and run out of ideas on what to make or nothing's really speaking to us. That would be a great time to try out this technique!
Whale Amigurumi
Amigurumi is always super fun to make. My husband always asks me to make a new toy for him to take to his office as a desk ornament to show off to all his co-workers. And, of course, kids love them too!
The N Stitch Mug Cozy
Mug cozys are quick to make and make really great gifts. I always have a hard time finding mug cozies that fit around mugs with a handle and this one is perfect!
Somerside Dishcloth
Looking to practice the basic stitches? These washcloths are great for beginners and you can never make to many because they're useful in many different ways. Around the house, gifts for friends/family/coworkers, or as part of a gift basket!
Florabelle Fingerless Gloves
Here's another pair of fingerless gloves for you! I love that these gloves are longer and they would look really pretty in a variegated yarn.
Thank you so much for participating in this weeks challenge!
