Easy Stash Buster Crochet Blanket Scrapghan Tutorial

[@ms.kittiekatmeow3373]

I sadly just had a friend pass. Her family gave me a few bins of yarn. This is perfect for what I have. Now we can all have a piece of “her”. She knit , I crochet; we were going to teach each other but we always got side tracked. This project touches my heart. I have followed almost all your videos. Thank you jadya you help more then you know. ❤️

[@JaydaInStitches]

We're so sorry to hear of your recent loss Taunie. I too have had the opportunity to make blankets from yarn from friends/family who have passed and I find they can be both a treasure and a comfort :)

[@violetvixen6301]

I just LOVE making blankets this way! You never have to throw ANY YARN AWAY!

[@JaydaInStitches]

No waste! We love it too 😊

[@josiepowers1865]

I saw this project a few months ago and just knew I had to make one once I finished with Christmas presents. Then just before Christmas my father had a heart attack and I had to pack on the fly for I didn't know how long. I am soooooo happy I filled my backpack with most of my yarn stash as I have been out of state with him during his rehab for 6 weeks! He has made a full recovery and instead on bringing home a bunch of odds and ends of yarn, I have the most amazingly beautiful blanket to return with!!! I am completely enamored with how it turned out. I want to ask all of my friends for all of their scrap yarn and make more of them! Thank you for your tutorials and your whimsical nature! I have only been crocheting for a bit over two years and am self taught from KZbin videos like yours. You inspire me to have fun with my projects and to take a basic idea and change it up to make it my own. I look forward to many more videos from you!!!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Josie, I'm so glad to hear your father has made a full recovery :) This project is a GREAT excuse to hunt down as many spare yarn ends as you can find!

[@mariaclough4348]

I immediately went into my craft room and pulled all my scrap pieces together after watching this video. I am starting this project tonight! Can't wait.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Maria! It's a great way to plow through all that scrap yarn - and the results are always so pretty! Thank you for watching :)

[@karicoffey2743]

I'm a knitter, and always wanted to learn to crochet. I have oodles of old white and off-white skeins from my husband's aunt's stash that she gave me since her fingers don't really work anymore. Your tutorial is so easy to follow, and I think this blanket would look nice with the whites as the lights and all of my scrap colors as the darks! You've inspired me to give it a go! Thank you!!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Kari, it will be beautiful! Thank you for watching :)

[@karicoffey2743]

@@JaydaInStitches I did it! It took me just 10 days to stitch while watching TV, and it came out beautiful! A small issue with getting my tension right... I made the chain with a 10mm and then switched to a 9mm, but it's still slightly wider at the end than it was at the beginning. I made it pretty large, too, for the hubby and me to snuggle under on cold nights, 58×70". Now EVERYONE wants one! I have to buy more yarn since I busted my stash! LOL Thank you for a wonderful and easy-to-follow tutorial!!

[@bontiz1]

Wow, that is gorgeous, I will definitely be doing one or two, thanks for your tutorial 💕

[@nohrachester9759]

I’ve been giving all my scrap yarn away for years. Well, no more. Love that blanket for Chicago winters. Thank you.

[@vivianhasak1958]

and I add...MAKE it LARGE enough to FIT a bed with enough to TUCK UNDER and make the blanket to be a good ol' regular blanket for under the comforter ... I did a scrape blanket, c2c style, and we LOVE it...I have another one in the works and NOW I'll be making Jayda's idea, also, !!!

[@lynnthomas5795]

I am making my scrap blanket to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic, and I am LOVING it! Last year I was given a large amount of yarn and this is the perfect project to use up the small pieces! I have fallen in love with one combination and may make an entire blanket out of it! (blues & greens variegated with a pastel solid).

Hi Lynn! I just love how pairing up any colours at all always seems to work out beautifully! It's so fun :) Thank you for watching!

I didn't have that many scraps so bought new yarn. I have made 3 of these blankets and they're just beautiful!

[@quiltcavequilter6952]

I’m extremely new to crochet so how big did your blankets end up being and how many skeins of yarn did it take?

[@kimbushart1049]

I think it was about 8 of the double skeins. The blankets covered a queen size bed. But a smaller throw would be nice too if you’re just starting out!

[@SommerSquirrel]

Thank you for this inspiration. My husband has been begging for a blanket of his own. Now he is warm and I can shop for MORE yarn!

This is my favorite project. My crocheting budget is basically zero, so I buy bags of scrap balls from my local thrift store and make this kind of blanket. I usually use double crochet on my scrap blankets so they'll work up a bit quicker.

[@kacookgirl]

This is actually so helpful to me right now. I've finished two crochet granny square blankets now (working on a third patchwork square), and I have a lot of little balls and colors and old skeins that I never used that I need to get rid of. I'll have to pull out my whole stash and go through them all, and see what I can whip together! Feeling very excited now! And I'm headed to JoAnns/Hobby Lobby tomorrow to get the final touches for my third blanket, so even more additions to come for my scrappy blanket project. If it's big enough, I'll leave it at a family house my relatives go to for short vacations. I think they'd really enjoy it!

[@JaydaInStitches]

What a great plan! I love the idea of leaving it at a family's home too :) What a nice surprise to come home to!

No ryhmn nor reason but oh how beautiful in the end. You are an amazing instructor. I have learned so much from you in just the short 8 months since I first picked up my hook.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Karen! Thank you so much :) You're so right! This blanket does come together something like an abstract painting - I like to think it's because all colours are beautiful and we can appreciate them so much more when they're all together :) (oooh that's sappy! LOL)

I just love this! I have a ton of yarn, a lot full skeins, and a few tiny partial skeins. But there is no law that says you can’t just cut the yarn frequently so you can vary that color, right?

Sometimes you just want to relax your brain!

Absolutely! I even cut up a few of mine to "evenly" distribute some of the colours I really like throughout the blanket 😊

I recently bought a 10 mm hook just for this. I wanted to do a scrappy blanket anyways so I clicked this video more out of principle than interest, because I already have a plan. BUT I do love your style and there‘s always something of worth to take away from your instructions, such as the color sorting. Edit: I mentioned the color sorting specifically because I went and bought a big ball of white yarn as my base, but your sorting into light and dark makes so much sense! Oh well. I‘ll keep that in mind for next time. =)

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you! 😊

[@beverlyhadley6225]

This turned out great, I was a little skeptical at first with the color combinations, but because they are only done for short runs it turned out to be a stunning blanket. I also incorporated eyelash yarn but only carried it for short blocks with three yarns (light, dark, and eyelash) then would drop the eyelash yarn and then pick it back up going the other direction. All in all a smashing success and I already have family requests for more.

Oh my goodness! I hope you escaped unscathed! I'm so glad to know we kept you company :)

So thankful you were safe!

I just love this blanket and I have watched this video at least a dozen times admiring it!! But it is just too warm for here in Hawaii!! I have solved the problem. I am going to make this blanket for Comfort For Critters. They make small blankets (about 20 x 20 inches square) for sick or injured animals in the hospital. Our local humane society participates so no need mail them to Illinois!!! I am so happy I have finally figured this out!! All the sick animals will love you!!!❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Thank you!!!😀😀‼️

[@JaydaInStitches]

ahhh! What a wonderful idea :) You could also make this out of nothing but wool or cotton and it would serve as a nice little rug too ;)

[@susanjackson5327]

You could also use an even larger hook and a different stitch so it wouldn't be as warm.

[@masuganut2082]

Princess Frances omg I never knew about that!!!!! Our pup passed away a few days ago, we miss her so much, it would make me so happy to help like that. Thank you so much for making this known!! ❤️❤️🌈

Kathleen Vassallo I’m so sorry for your loss 😓

[@masuganut2082]

Shari S aww thank you. I appreciate that. I don’t wanna bring anyone down. She had a long life but when it comes to pets it just never seems to be long enough. 😥 she died with all those who loved her around her. My heart is broken but I’m going to try to use the happy memories to heal. And taking Princess Frances’s suggestion and help some others. Thank you for your kindness, I wish you the best Shari! ❤️🌈

Good work Jayda. I do this from time to time and vary the type of stitches at times during crocheting the rug. I do complete the rows and then start another row with a different stitch ie sc to dc or tr but at times I will do a cluster or whatever I fancy I want to do but all fairly basic. I use different plys as in Australia for example we have 4ply, 5ply, 8ply. i vzry it so that you can't particularly see its thicker in one part to another. I had so much yarn after crocheting a large blanket I had hardly used up much of my stash. I decided to put the blanket in our local show as several people commented on how beautiful it was. I won a 1st prize against some other beautiful rugs which astounded me. Maybe I don't value my crocheting as much as I should.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Meme, congratulations, that's fantastic! It also sounds really pretty, varying the stitches can also help create a neat texture on top of all the pretty colours :)

[@KT-ff8bu]

💐Thank you! I have been so confused for so many years on how to successfully turn and create a new row. Ive had to hide my mistakes with a kind of border at the end. My mom, friends and videos have tried to teach me. But until now I just didn’t comprehend. You are an awesome teacher💐

[@JaydaInStitches]

We're so glad it was helpful!

[@patwagner9308]

I've done this. I used up ALL of my left over yarn quite a few years back. I started out & every time I finished one yarn, I just tied on another. Made a pretty blanket. Also, another time, I used up left-over yarn by making a tunnel for our cats, putting metal hoops in it every few feet.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Pat, I love that idea! I bet your cats adored it too :)

[@patwagner9308]

@@JaydaInStitches We had a wonderful boy cat (Thomas) at the time...he napped in the tunnel ! 😄🐈

[@lorim3155]

That's beautiful! I'm going to start mine this evening. I taught myself how to crochet last year. I did a few blankets and haven't done anything since. So all this yarn I bought has been sitting there. Well until tonight anyway! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Perfect! A great way to use up that yarn :)

[@deejackson2341]

I am so. Excited about this idea with the left over yarns, I've already started a blanket and it looks great.Thankyou for the. Easy instructions!

I ran out of light yarn scraps at one point when making my blanket and didn't want to go out and buy more so I just put together whatever I had and it is turning out very interesting looking. :)

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Lizzie! I have found that as long as the colours are sort of opposite each other, they still stand out...you might see your blanket looking "lighter" on one end, but that's neat too!!

[@reneawoods3975]

I love love the stash buster blanket. You are so fun to watch and please keep sharing! Have a blessed day or night!

[@robinbird21]

I have made a number of stunning blankets with your splicing pattern. Everyone wants one after they see mine so now I gift them. Thank you!

They turn out beautifully every time! Thank you for watching :)

[@Darvit_Nu]

This is really beautiful and reminds me very much of the "rag rugs" my grandmother had in her kitchen. I'm definitely going to make one of these scrapghans to use up leftover yarns and odd skeins I've acquired over the years. It looks like a fun & functional project! ^_^

[@JaydaInStitches]

Wonderful! Thank you for watching 😊

[@CarmelFan2024]

Absolutely love this idea! Will make a blanket or two to donate to our humane society. Thanks so much.

[@melaniecoleman9276]

I have wanted to learn to crochet for a long time and just haven't done it. Last week I decided to stop and learn. Watched your video and gave it a try. Bought yarn I like and rolled it on to small balls like they were scraps. I'm in love now and just finished my throw. I'm addicted and can't wait to start another project. Thank you for breaking it down and making it easy to follow!!!!

[@pentirah5282]

Th;is particular tutorial is very useful and practical. One small point. My mother and I used to make these blankets from scrap wool during the last war. We discovered that it is better to use wools that have similar ply. We often had scraps of two ply wool and this did not work in as evenly in combination with three and four ply. I notice this lady was not using any two ply wool. I think it is best to avoid it -or use all two ply together for a thinner texture blanket rather than to mix the plies. Otherwise I like this tutorial very much, and she explains it well and clearly..

[@joyceandraysmith9289]

Super idea and so easy to put down and pick up off and on without having to remember where you are, etc.

[@tonihovatter7764]

I was trying to do a little square... not a granny square... just a square and had a hard time figuring it out or finding any pattern or video... then thought back to this video... I then just did the number of chains for a 4x4 square... and it came out PERFECT.... thank you thank you! See your inspiring OTHER projects with your original hehe.... You rock! Have a wonderful Weekend!!!!

I watched this way back when I wanted to get back into crochet again. Again I am returning to finally build this blanket. I love your videos. They just make me feel happened

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Jenifer! Thank you for watching 😊

[@1gr8lpta]

@@JaydaInStitches I am building this blanket right now. Amazingly, I am keeping at it. I am slow but I have months of recovery to do so I think I will actually finish something. I love this stitch, I usually increase and decrease my rows at random. It seems as if I can't ever keep it straight. So, I give up and put it all away. but this blanket allows me to keep my rows straight!!! Thanks so much for all your smiles and encouragement. God Bless

[@suziq3833]

I just love how you present everything. I was mesmerized about how interesting you made this video. I love the ease of learning this and amazed at how beautiful it looks. I can't wait to try this pattern. Thank you so much. I love all your other videos also. Thank you for making this so much fun.

Great idea. I just found out Michaels doesn't have the yarn I need any more so this is a great idea.

[@LisaLisaYB]

Love this! Works up fast and it so satisfying seeing the yarn get busted. Thank you Jayda!

[@JaydaInStitches]

It is satisfying! Sort of feels like cleaning up, but you wind up with a blanket when you're finished! Now that's efficient :)
