Crochet Stash Buster Blanket :: Free Pattern

 Hello Friends,

I'm so happy to share with you my lastest scrap yarn project: This crochet Stash Buster blanket is so easy to make, and it can be made at no cost simply by using what you have in your stash! This is the perfect project for using up any previously started balls of yarn and those tiny little pesky scraps that have been collecting over time. The stitch pattern is very easy and beginner friendly, it has a wonderful texture which makes the blanket incredibly cozy. The best part is that it's a totally unique blanket, and there are no ends to weave in!! 

Check out the video tutorial and written pattern below on how to make this gorgeous blanket:




Required Crochet Stitches:  chain (ch), single crochet (sc) Note: All terms are U.S. 

Finished Blanket Size: 50" wide x 56" long (approx. and without fringe)

You will need the following supplies:

  • leftover medium yarn - this project can easily be added to over time to achieve the desired blanket size

  • measuring tape

Main Blanket:  This blanket is worked with 2 strands of medium weight yarn held together. You can make this any size you like, all you need to do is chain an even number of stitches to start.
