- Welcome to this very special episode of A Lovely Yarn Podcast. In this episode I am talking all about scrappy projects! These are great patterns that were made specifically to use up all of those gorgeous little mini skeins you have been saving. While the majority are knitting patterns, there are also a few crochet patterns included in this list!
Whether you are looking for a pattern to use up fingering weight yarn scraps or a pattern to use along with your Advent yarn calendar, this compilation features a large variety of patterns that will work for both! I had so much fun researching and compiling this list of patterns for you!
Here is the link to the pattern bundle that I organized on Ravelry.

This link will take you to a directory of all of the patterns that I discussed in the video.

I can't get over how useful these videos are, thanks so much!!!
Thank you! I'm glad you are finding them useful!
Thank-you for taking the time to assemble this enjoyable and inspiring collection!
You're welcome! Thank you for watching, Linda!
Garter Squish by Stephen West is the same “pattern” basically as that Homespun House recipe, but it’s free. I know you don’t need another scrappy pattern in your life, buttttt I’ve been loving the Lullaby blanket by Tin Can Knits, it can be knit in any weight in 3 sizes and it’s been my new scrappy blanket as well as baby blanket go to. Thank you for this lovely, super fun episode to knit to!
Oh you're amazing! Thanks for letting me know about the garter squish! It didn't come up when I was searching ravelry for scrappy projects, but there are soooo many patterns out there so I'm not surprised. Thank you so much for watching and giving me a couple more suggestions!
@@alovelyyarn ?? Time stamps please.??
Thank you for all these amazing videos you’ve been doing. It feels like sitting down with a knitting friend and it’s so enjoyable.
Awww. Thank you so much for your kind words!
I enjoy these posts about using up scraps. I’d love to see one on how to store and catalog those bits and pieces we want to hang on to for repairs and such.
Habitation Throw by Helen Stewart is another lovely pattern to use minis. Helen Stewart has a number of patterns to use advents or scraps. People use magic knot to connect their yarns together so you don’t have to weave in ends.
Magic knot! That's what it's called! I'm going to be honest, I am always nervous about my ends unraveling so I always knot them off and weave them in like crazy. I might be nervous about doing the magic knot method.
I love how much variety you can play with with these projects - you could go with a quite cohesive palette or just go crazy with an explosion of colour. Thank you for putting this list together!
I know! Knitting with yarn scraps is so much fun, and I really enjoy the scrappy look! Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much for all the time, research, editing etc. it took for you to curate this wonderful list Amber! I appreciate this so much. My languishing Advent minis thank you!
Haha. You're welcome. Thanks for watching and have fun with your scrappy knitting!
I absolutely love seeing how people use up these mini skeins/scraps - you are so creative.
Oh, thanks Amber! I've put more into my favorites! This was so fun!
Thanks for watching, Sue!
Thank you Amber! You have saved me so much time searching for scrappy left over sock yarn projects! I am indebted to you! Now to finish the current hat gift!
You're welcome! Glad you found it helpful!
That must have been a lot of work for you, searching for all this patterns, inserting all the pictures!! Very much appreciated, thank you!
Thank you so much for watching! It was a lot of work but also very fun to do the research and find all of the beautiful patterns!
Sooo much fun! I want to do several of these with my own scraps! I didn’t realize how dear most advents are until I started to research them this year, so I decided to pass for now. Maybe next year…
Hi Sarah! It was a really fun episode to do the research for! I haven't personally knitted many scrappy projects, but I sure do love the look of them and want to make more!
Thank you for compiling this You Tube. Saving many of us the time to see what's is available. There are so many projects to choose from.

I am a new viewer to your podcasts and boy, did I ever pick an amazing one to follow! Thank you so much for sharing all the "scrappy" patterns, for creating the bundle on Ravelry and for sharing all the info about each and every one of them. This is super!!
Awwww, you're leaving all kinds of kindness in my comment sections! Thank you so much!
Hi Amber, It’s Caroline from Arizona (Javalina). How wonderful that you included the video of your minis at the end for inspiration. The clips of snow falling were very picturesque to usher in the holiday season. The time and effort you took to put this episode together is much appreciated. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! 🍁🍂
Hi Caroline! Thank you for watching and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
thank you Amber, I saw a few things I liked!
Wonderful! Thank you for watching!
Amber, this was an awesome episode. I absolutely love all scrappy projects. I do have a cozy memories and and scrappy granny stripe on the go, oh yeah and a Battenburg as well.
Haha. You have quite a few big scrappy projects going then!
Thank you so much Amber for all your hard work. I purchased 4 x 100gr skeins, all different colors ( silly me I should have bought them all the same for a sweater ) and after them languishing on my shelf not knowing what to make with them, you have helped me out immensely.
Yay! I'm glad it was helpful to you!
Thank you for putting together such a great list! I know that's a lot of work! There are some really great patterns there.
Hello! So happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for this list. I want to order so many gorgeous mini skein advents and kits but was feeling like I didn’t know how to use them. Now I have ideas ❤.
Yay! I'm glad you got some ideas. Scrappy projects are so much fun, and I love the look of them!
Thank you for all the inspiration. Haven’t come across your channel before so look forward to seeing what you are working on.

All best wishes xx
Hi Suzanne! Thank you so much for following along and watching. I'm so happy you enjoyed it! Truly!
nice collection of uses for all the minis. Not just advent, but all those bits and pieces I seem to have a lot of in my stash. Maybe 2023 will be the year of the scrappy projects for me.
That sounds like a fun way to focus your knitting. I could do the same thing. I have so many scraps of beautiful yarn! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for shwoing all these patterns. I am going to knit the Calico quilt shawl with my advent mini’s
Yay! So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you.
Lovely to see you again.
I smiled to myself when i got a notification that there was another episode 🧶🧺💖
Such good content.
You are so kind to me! Thank you!
Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for putting that video together! it was amazing! I appreciate all your time!
Thank you for watching!
Wow! Thank you so much for all the patterns Inspiration! I will check a few of them and i also want to say i just found your channel and happy i did! Looking forward to binge watch more podcasts❤
Hello Monique! I'm so happy you enjoyed it! Thank you!
I recently found your channel and have been binge watching back episodes. Thank you so much for mentioning the Scrappy Knit Shawl on this episode. I started it a few days ago, and I am in love with working on it. It is so much fun. Totally mindless and carefree. I'm looking forward to having this to wrap up in while sitting on the porch in the early Spring days, here at my home in Northeastern Kentucky. If you hadn't mentioned it, I never would have known about it and would have missed all this fun. Love your content!
Hi Judy! I'm so glad that you found a pattern you enjoyed! Thank you so much for watching!
Lovely video! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Hi Amber. I agree with the others who say mattress stitch is a great way to seam.
Always enjoy seeing a podcast from you! I hope you have a very merry Christmas season.😊
Dear Amber, thanks a lot for all the efford you put in this episode. It is very intersting and helpful.. Many Greetings to your winterwonderland Claudia
Hi Claudia! Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you sooo much, so interesting and inspirational, I just happened to find this!!
Hi Debra! Glad you found it inspirational! Thanks for watching!
I came across this podcast it popped up on my screen I am so glad I watched it. It has got to be one of the best informative podcasts I have ever watched. I loved watching your selection I will be watching it over again and make note of the patterns I would like to make. Thankyou I have subscribed so I will be looking at any other podcast you have made just brilliant.
Oh, that's so fantastic to hear! I'm so happy that you found it helpful. Thank you for subscribing!
Just found you, Thank You for your time, it is greatly appreciated. I have already made a trip to see the Bundle, and have subscribed. Blessed Holidays.
Hello! Yay! So happy you enjoyed it. And thank you for watching and subscribing!
African flowers work up super quick with scrap yarn, and you can combine the patches to make anything. Blankets, garments, toys, etc.
This was WONDERFUL! THANKS so much, Amber and Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi Erica! Thank you for watching!
Great list!
I had to laugh, a lot of the shawls are in my "favorites" already!!
I just don't want anything I have to seam. 😉
I did an advent shawl, I made it wider & STILL ended up with walnut sized balls of yarn left over from the 20gr balls. 🤷
It was the festive wrap by Ambah O'Brian.
(I also overdyed a couple colors, they just didn't look like they "matched").
I love your idea for the marled wrap/scarf,
I looked, I don't have worsted, but I'm sure 2 fingering would work too.
I always thought 2 strands of fingering was a sport weight...2 strands sport is DK...etc 🤔
Hi Patti! That's great that you already had some of these patterns saved! There are so many great ones. It was hard to eliminate some to get down to 50! Maybe I'm wrong about the fingering and fingering making a Dk weight, but I'm pretty sure almost every pattern I've seen that calls for two strands of fingering held together says it will make a DK weight. That one pattern was the only one I've ever seen that said two fingering strands equal sport weight. Oh boy! Not sure! Anyway, thank you for watching!
Amber, thank you for researching & making the list of patterns to use minis or advents. I’ve made a couple of the Round & Round cowl for my granddaughters. It is a great pattern. I also made the Cozy Comfort Throw for a gift & plan to make another for me. Love watching your videos. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
Hi Carlen! That's so awesome to hear that you made those two patterns and enjoyed them enough to reknit them! Thank you so much for watching!
Loved the episode and I did flag a few patterns. Thank you 😊
Thank you, Nancy! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much, Amber - Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Pam!!!! ❤️
Thank you for ideas!
Thank you for watching!
Fun look at scrappy patterns! I'm not into buying minis but I have nice leftovers from projects to use. Last year I made the Log Cabin blanket pattern you showed but made it 5 x 6 and I bordered them all with a pale gray and it is such a warm and squishy blanket that everyone loves. Thanks for all of your time in putting the lists together. I will be picking one to start on after Thanksgiving! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family.
Oh your Log Cabin blanket sounds so dreamy! I really do love the look of log cabin patterns. I've actually been saving worsted weight scraps to make one myself. Thank you so much for watching!
Earth Tone Girls has a method to deal with ends of scrappy socks. Well worth the watch!
Thank you for the suggestion!
Great video! Thank you 😊
Thank you, Erica!
This is SUCH a great list. Thank you! Subscribed!
Thank you for watching!
Dear Amber, thanks so much for all the inspiration ! You love so much “chevrons”, therefore I would like to give you a hint of another scrappy project (help another one 💥😅). I came across the pattern when watching the “its a Sarah” -podcasts: “Northeasterly” from Skeinanigans. Enjoy your holiday season. 🌲
Hello! I'm glad it inspired you! Thank you so much for the pattern suggestion! I will look it up!
Hallo, Amber, thank you very much for this enormous amount of work you did in this episode. It will be fun to knit up one or two or ... of those patterns. Happy ending of this year and greets from Wuppertal / Germany.
Hello! Thank you so much! So happy you enjoyed it!
Very informative and interesting ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks
Thank you for watching!
What a amazing episode.
So informative and really helpful to make something with true minis!
Happy Thanksgiving
