Dive into your yarn stash and make creative use of all those hopeful skeins and balls — even the tiniest leftovers!

52 Weeks of Scrap Yarn: Projects for Crafters is an inspiring collection that contains 52 scrap yarn patterns ranging from small to large projects, from accessories and home decor to sweaters and cardigans. Some designs are made entirely of scraps, while others use them in smaller details as an eye-catching design element. In addition to knitting, there are also a few crochet pieces.

Working with scrap yarns is fun, rewarding and ecological: it saves money and creates more space in your yarn stash! And each project is unique, which brings a touch of playfulness to the process.

52 Weeks of Scrap Yarn is the latest addition to Laine Publishing’s popular 52 Weeks series. The book’s patterns come from 47 talented designers worldwide, and the skill level required varies from easy to challenging.
