How to Make a Crochet Scrap Yarn Blanket

See how I make my scrap yarn crochet blankets. I love using up my old yarn and scrap ends to make thick, warm blankets for the winter.
They are so easy to make!

So serviceable too. I love scrap blankets!! Never would throw out yarn! There are so many things one can make with scraps of yarn!!

[@vajee5]

I’ve seen a lot of scrapblankets but I like yours the best. Your stitch, your results. Thank you!

[@China-Clay]

How could you say it isn’t pretty? It’s gorgeous!!!♥️

[@Queenmom313]

LOVE this blanket! I love everything about it (using up yarn, the double stitch, random colors and amounts of each yarn, etc...Thank you for this awesome idea!

[@mypoochiebaby]

+Queenmom313 Hi... I know I love mine when they are finished. There is just something so "homey" about them.

[@ChicKnitChronicles]

I make these too! except I make giant granny squares for mine. They are hands down my favorite blankets.

[@mypoochiebaby]

I agree. I have also make them granny style but in rows instead of a square.

[@nita44htc]

I've started scrap crocheting after watching this video. Thank you so much for sharing. I didn't know what to do with all my scraps, now I know. I'm hooked.

[@thehungryterrier1]

This is a great idea because I have soooo many scraps.

[@letacarr6121]

You should try a Russian join when changing yarn. It is really neat!

[@pamelastevenschuler9575]

I once did a pet blanket like this (had ferrets then). Just started with a chain row the size I wanted (maybe 2 feet) and kept workimg in the scraps. It turned out to be a mat they would take naps on, worked out real well.

[@elgato3563]

Thanks for another great tutorial!!! What a lovely and colorful way to use scrap yarns.

[@sally-annebrown1298]

Loving those bright variegated yarns in this project

[@shutupandcrochet]

I love scrapghans. They're gorgeous and I love yours.

[@sharonkeller7397]

What a fun project!! My only change would be to crochet the ends of the old color and the new color together, then it is hidden with no work at all. :)

[@Bean292]

I love this blanket... I like how u left the ends hanging out... I'm starting mine very soon

[@mypoochiebaby]

Awesome!

[@michaelwallace5291]

The ends are an eyesore.

[@user-rv7gc6zf5u]

Love this I am going to start one love the way you just tie on wool as you go you can change up colours anytime

[@arlettedenormandie2883]

Salut , je sais que cette vidéo date , mais j'adore et je fais ce genre de couvertures , le crochet me relaxe et me fais oublier le reste , j'espère que vous lirez ce commentaire venu de France , meilleurs vœux pour cette nouvelle année 2023

[@BlkBrooklyn28]

[@cynthiaperez443]

I like your pretty blanket. I hope you make more soon.

[@Ranoosh1971]

It looks very pretty and cozy ,i wish i didn't give away all the yarn i hated it would've looked amazing ,very cute 🌺

[@mypoochiebaby]

+Ranoosh1971 Something to think about when your scrap supply gets big again!

[@DOSBoxMom]

I've stuck a paper clip or a safety pin in the loop of the last stitch done if I don't have the next ball of yarn handy or I have to set a project aside for a while. (I'm currently working on a project which requires about a gazillion stitch markers, so I now have a ton of them -- but before I bought all those stitch markers, I went the paper clip/safety pin route.)

[@marywhitaker8140]

I am thanking about doing one for myself soon,i love it you did a awesome job on it

[@vajee5]

Your blanket is beautiful. I love the free color changes; I tie ends together the same way.

[@ministerdr.cherylbenefield5408]

I started one just like yours for a queen size bed I love it it's pretty to me.

[@jsjh98]

I think it's BeauTiFUL!

[@stephaniehusband5615]

I think it BEAUTIFUL...gonna do a blanket like that with my scrapes. Thanks

[@flutey28]

I think that looks awesome. way to go

[@kirstinethornburg2018]

I am doing a scrap blanket for my sisters cat. I am using all acrylic yarns and an i hook using two strands of yarn together

[@Snowowl64]

I'm Making A Scrapghan Too. But I'm Using 2 Strands And A 10mm Hook. And I'm Doing Half Double Crochet!!! 😁😁😁😁😁

[@RaxaShah49]

I did exactly that. I have already made two and shall be starting a third one soon. I think this makes a slightly thicker blanket.

[@lindanarloch7287]

I think it looks great. I've made these before in different sizes. I even made one to fit that I use in the back "trunk" of my SUV. If something spills they are easy to wash and keeps your vehicle clean. Also, it can be used as an emergency blanket. When you see these colors it reminds me of all the past projects I've enjoyed crocheting for people/organizations. Nice video! :)

[@mypoochiebaby]

I like the thought of seeing past projects in the blanket.... Thanks!

[@patsycline9820]

is that a blanket underneath it looks lovely any chance of a video on that thanks

[@JeniferGamelli]

I love this idea! Im going to start on this first thing!

[@mypoochiebaby]

+JeniferGamelli I just finally finished the blanket today. My husband stole it and has been using it even though it wasn't totally done! He really loves how warm it keeps him in bed.

[@victoriaabela5891]

How to start please thanks

[@karenbcz22]

Very pretty!

[@angelaharris1112]

Thank you.i think it's very pretty!

[@karensinclair1954]

I think it IS pretty!

[@sally-annebrown2341]

Love those colours. Went together well

[@irenesnell6061]

What is the yarn weight? Can other weights be incorporated into the same project?

[@jseidel70js]

I wouldn't, also should use the same type like all cotton or all acrylic as different ways of washing.

[@brendahipp8559]

your first row of double crochet do you Skip One Stitch or two??

[@phojanesyhavong6375]

The best blankets are made out of scraps.

[@123TravieMC]

And does it matter the different weight of the scrap yarn you're using ?

[@mypoochiebaby]

+paris seaton It really doesn't matter what weight of yarn you use. In the past, I have made these where I mixed a baby weight yarn, or sport weight with worsted weight.

[@HyacinthDaisyRose]

I think it's beautiful!

[@donnataylor8802]

Love it.

[@deb-d5875]

It's beautiful!

[@cherylgaston479]

Nice blanket but you should weave in loose yarn looks tacky leaving them out ,i use a 10 size hook looks just as nice

[@the_crafter451]

Love this!

[@mypoochiebaby]

Thanks!

[@maryjojolajojola206]

I'm making one my self.

[@kaysmith4558]

I love this.....are you using all the same brand of yarn...like Redheart?

[@mypoochiebaby]

I use all types of yarn when making a scrap blanket.... just everything that I have from left from projects.

[@amylaceenzyme189]

You don’t hide tails ?..

[@shellycollorone3703]

It's pretty 😀

[@MaryJohnson-tr6fs]

I love it

[@litacook7278]

Love it!

[@123TravieMC]

Your blanket is beautiful,my question is how much do you chain up when you get to the end of the row?

[@mypoochiebaby]

+paris seaton I honestly don't remember how many chains I used. I just made the chain long enough to cover my queen sized bed. I used that as a starting point for the height of the blanket. I added enough rows to cover the width of my bed.

[@123TravieMC]

+Poochie Baby thank you

[@judyanddavid]

paris seaton hh

[@marywhitaker8140]

i need to know did you use 2 string or 1

[@janeclermon83]

did you start off with single r double crochet?

[@mypoochiebaby]

The first row, and all rows, are double crochet.

[@ajam924]

Did you mix your yarn weights?

[@ministerdr.cherylbenefield5408]

love it

[@lisaparry6782]

Can you show how to start please

[@judyanddavid]

Oo

[@lilianahorjea8183]

Hi Mimi did you say J or G hook? I will do one like that thdnks

[@vajee5]

J hook

[@lilianahorjea8183]

@@vajee5 Thanks

[@Laflacaycancer]

THAT STOP FROM WASTE AND SAVE MONEY FROM BUYING A NEW BLANKET OR NEW YARN. I USUALLY FIND USE FOR SOME SCRAPS , BUT THE REST WILL DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT OR RUGS.

[@eileencritchley4630]

Why don't you crochet your ends in? That's what I do when making crochet and knitted scrap yarn blankets.
