Be inspired by these brilliant scrap yarn crochet projects
If you love yarn crafts like knitting and crochet, you're bound to have leftover yarn from your projects. Well look no further than these brilliant scrap yarn ideas to use up your stash!
There are so many fun pieces you can make with scrap yarn – from cute mittens to stylish bags. Crafters all over the world have taking to social media to show off their scrap yarn projects, and we've been seriously inspired.
There are two main ways you can use up your scrap yarn in crochet: creating a long piece of multicoloured yarn using your scraps, or working granny squares with a different colour for each round, using a different scrap each time. There are so many brilliant small crochet projects you can make, too, which will only take an afternoon or evening to complete.
We've picked out our favourite scrap yarn crochet project to inspire you – happy stitching!

We love a crochet garland – there are so many pretty designs to choose from, like this gorgeous heart creation from @kates_crochet_critters on Instagram.
It's a great way to use up scraps of yarn – in one colour or lots of different shades!
