What makes this the ultimate scrapghan? It calls for squares in sizes ranging from 7-rounds all the way down to 1-round squares. You can use up even the smallest bits. Don't like 1-round squares? Skip 'em. It's quite easy to eliminate rows of squares you don't feel like making. Want to make it longer or shorter? Add or subtract any line of same-sized squaresThere are both a RH- and LH-crochet join schematics. Finished size is approximately 21.3 x 16 times (11.3 x 8 times) bigger than your 3-round square. Sample measures 64” x 48” (34” x 24”)

If you do a lot of crocheting like me then I'm sure you have tons of bits and leftover pieces of yarn. I knew I could make a bunch of granny square potholders or coasters with those bits and pieces, but I wanted to do something a little different. Could I take all of those little mismatched balls of yarn and turn them into one big something that would pack a crochet punch of color? The answer is YES. I could and I did. After searching around online I found several "scrapghan" how-tos as motivation. Using two strands of yarn and a half double crochet stitch throughout, I set to work. When I ran out of yarn I simply tied my working yarn to a new piece using a square knot. Then I made sure I tucked the tails into my work as I crocheted in order to hide them. Simple! The result was a generous sized lapghan that's colorful and toasty warm. I originally wanted to make this scrapghan just to see how easy it was. It was so awesomely simple to do, and the results were so gorgeous, now I want to make more. It only took me a few hours (working intermittently over two days), so these would make excellent gifts for the holidays or anytime! I just might have to make a trip to my local thrift store to grab up some of those bags of yarn odds and ends to make a few more scrpaghans for gift giving ;-)

Scrappy Corner-to-Corner Crochet Blanket
ou yess - it is finished! and being loved - already on the floor :D kids can be soooooo cute when they want to ... Sim & Oli aaaannndddd the part you all have been waiting for - how did i join my artsy squares? simple and efective - pretty much same c2c just in straight lines, using sc to atach my squares to the filling and frame I made... if you have some questions ask ... and i'll try to answer as soon as possible ... but my coffee has too little blood at the moment so i'm convinced the photos says it all :D *** Waaay later - aka - Update with instructions to go with the pictures ;) Start with two blocks. Sl st in first blocks corner. Ch 3, sc on other blocks corner. Ch 3, sc in joining point. Make your first "check box" for standing C2C .. Sl st in first blocks joining point finishing up that first "check box" :) Starting the next one. Ch 3. Pull loop through sc. Ch 3. Sc in next joining point. Make "check box" - aka 3 dc's & sl st on the other side ... REPEAT When you reach corner, take next block and just keep going. remainds me of a staircase ... so just go up ;) Inside corner is a bit different .. When you make last "check box" and squares are joined, you are left on the wrong corner .. to change that .. in the middle of sl st (I can't believe I have no pictures of me doing this) you make dc in the corner of previously joined squares (bottom left) forming a bridge you will be working over your "check box" dc's. then do 3 ch, sc in joining corner (up right) and then make "check box" dc's .. and you have turned your work and everything else is simple. Simply stunning - right :) and easy too! Edging is pretty much the same, just without adding more blocks... Sooo .. Add your yarn in any joining point ch 6 (so you would get 3x3 "check box" ;) ) and make 3 dc's. (for first check box i make them into the ch, after I just work over ch sp as for c2c ;) ) Sl st in next joining point. make 3 ch, sc in corner of previous "check box" and ch 3 more. and well obviously - make 3 dc's :) and repeat! Happy crafting! P.S. Amazing Heather (@hookonepurlone) has created videos of join and edge! she does them my way but a smidge different. so if you prefer videos instead of photos - go check out these youtube videos and give her thumbs up! ;) ALSO - her Log Cabin C2C idea is FANTASTIC! Join I promise this is for edge altough cover photo is misleading :D
A need for mindless knitting led me to make a blanket from scratch, using up leftover yarn in the process.
A Scrap Sampler Afghan is almost like freeform crochet; it is made using any stitches you like, with a new color for every row. I like to put contrasting colors next to each other every now and then. I wanted to show you guys how inspiring and fun it is to put together a scrap sampler afghan with the bits of yarn you have left over from other projects. I love this one, and I think I'll add a border! I'll have to update this blog post when I do. I love, in particular, the way that the earth tones look with the turquoise and teal colors. Most of all I love how little bits of black and white (cream, really) really really make it pop! Here are the instructions; if you enjoy them, please look at my reasonably priced small project patterns on Etsy and Amazon. Thanks you guys! SCRAP AFGHAN INSTRUCTIONS: Step 1: Start with a foundation chain in the desired length of the longest side of your planned afghan. In my case, I made a foundation chain approximately 60". Personally, I liked using a yarn for this which has a bit more stretch so that it wouldn't "pinch" my later work. Step 2: Work your desired number of rows in various colors, tying off and changing your color after each row. My first row was a dc row in teal. It is very important to lay your afghan on a flat surface and check that your width is not increasing or decreasing: it's very easy to inadvertently create a sloping edge even when you are careful with your stitch count. The weight of the afghan and how that affects your crochet work can still cause shrinking edges. My suggestion is to keep track of your width and adapt by increasing your stitch count evenly as needed. My favorite stitches you can use in your rows: Shell stitch with (or without) surface crochet - see photo below: ch 3 for first dc, skip next st, 5 dc in next st, skip next st, sc in next st, continue to end of row, ending mid-shell if necessary. Consider working surface crochet through the curving stops of your shells so as to obtain a nice contrasting thin line of color (see black shells with surface crochet in cream in the example below) Here is a helpful youtube video about working surface crochet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN8WIB9hYJQ When you end a row which has curvy shapes like shell stitches, make sure to even out your edge in the following row. When I am "evening out" after rows of shell stitch, I work sc in every stitch, switching to dc when I come to a sc in the prev row. V Stitch: (see photo below) work a row as follows: ch 3 for first dc, skip next st, *work 2 dc tog in next st, ch 1, work 2 dc tog in same st, skip next 2 st, repeat from * across, ending abruptly in the middle of a "V" if necessary. If you work more rows of V stich on top of this one (remember to change color!), Ch3 for your first dc, then work your Vs across in the spaces between Vs on the previous row. Below: Here's how two rows of V-stitch look on top of each other: Granny Stitch: (see below) A nice choice for a few rows is this familiar stitch, which goes quickly and is easy to work. Ch 3 for your first dc, then skip 1 st, *work 2 dc in next st, ch 1, skip next st, repeat from * across. If you work successive rows on top of each other, simply ch3 for first st, work 2 dc in between every cluster of 2 dc in the previous row. Rows of DC or SC: (see photo below) I guess it's obvious that you can simply choose colors and work dc across; break it up by working smaller lines of color in sc across as well. In the photo you may notice that the single crochets in the center of the photo are worked in back loops only (to get a different effect). Row of DC followed by a row (in a contrasting color) of sc with regular intervals of spike stitch sc: see below Sometimes you may wish to make a couple of rows which look like they have little vertical stripes by working a row of dc first (see the white dc in the photo above). Then, in the next row, switch to a contrasting color and work sc across, making spike stitch sc at regular intervals. In my case I chose black and worked sc, sc, spike sc across and loved the way that it almost looked like black and white boxes or dots. To work a spike stitch, you simply insert your hook for that particular sc into the row below the working row, so that when you pull up and yarn over, the yarn stretches across for a long "footprint". Sometimes I call this a "long single crochet". You can see a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gNcV7MBojA Step 3: Tie off and weave any loose ends through your work. If you wish, you can create a dc border around the edges of your work.
