Things to Make: Stashbuster Crochet Scarf - Free Pattern!

I have a problem.

I hoard yarn.

Seriously.

Ask anyone who knows me.  I am notoriously a neat freak...I can't stand piles of stuff and clutter.  Except when it comes to yarn.  I can't stand tossing out the little left over scraps after a project is finished.  So I end up with little bags of scraps of yarn like this:

 

 

It's sad really.

So I decided that I needed to find a way to use up my teensy little scraps, and odds and ends!

 

Enter the STASH-BUSTER SCARF

This simple scarf pattern can be used with any kind of yarn and any size hook!  The different materials you use give different results...but all are wonderful!  It's super fast and easy...and the scarves you make are great for gifts!!

 
As you can see the type of yarn you use totally changes the look of the scarf...but they all look fantastic!!
