The problem with most stash-user-upper projects is that they’re small, fiddly, and usually limited to decorative items. Wouldn’t it be great if a full-fledged project could use up odds, ends, and “those might be useful one day” skeins? Look no further than this shawl crochet pattern by Laura Strutt!
What You’ll Need
The Stash-Buster Stripes Shawl is an amazing project that will allow you to use up not only disregarded skeins of yarn, but also all those annoying bits of yarn that are a bit useless, but that you just can’t bear to throw away.
There are literally no rules when making this wrap – you can mix up different weights, textures, and colors. It will make the design even more interesting!
The designer used a 5 mm crochet hook and lightweight yarns in complementary colors to create the original design, while the project below plays with contrasting stripes.
Easy Construction, Beautiful Results
This stash-busting crochet shawl pattern features a simple rectangle shape and colorful striped design. If you want to add a bit more spice to its look, there are also instructions for a delicate dot border and tassel fringe. The body of this wrap is done mostly with cluster stitches.
4 Ways to Wear This Crochet Shawl
This heavy and warm crochet rectangle shawl will be the perfect fashion accessory for the upcoming not-so-warm season. Fall or winter, this project is sure to be a hit! Moreover, you can use it in multiple ways:
- Drape over the shoulders like a shawl.
