Easy Stash Buster Crochet Blanket Scrapghan Tutorial 

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. ❤️

I made the second blanket using all my stash, leftover yarns. I made a twin sized blanket. Used 2 strands worsted weight yarn and a single crochet stitch throughout. Plus added a decent border. When my precious 13 yr old Brown Labrador Retriever Noah passed away, he was cremated with it. He was my buddy. And the blanket was a big part of me too. Thanks for your video.

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

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.

I came across an absolutely lovely lady named Lisa from the channel HappytoHook creations and she used your tutorial for making scrap blankets and they turned out beautifully. She wants to make them to donate to a group that gives them to children waiting to be adopted. Really wonderful lady, just like you. See Jayda how much you inspire people? ❤️❤️❤️😊

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 RU-vid 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!!!

Wow sure glad the horder in me found this . Can’t wait to start this. THANKS.

I just completed a scrapghan that I made for my Grand daughter. She loves it. Thanks for your idea. Now I will make one for me.

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).

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

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 am working on my Ultimate Odd-Ball, Stash-Buster Project - I made it 38" wide and so far it measures 48" long - want to make it about 6' so my hubby can use when he gets chilled. I love the pattern and it is coming out beautifully in my stash assortment of colors. As I work on it I love the feel of this blanket and I just want to stop and cuddle. I am very happy with this pattern you came up with and I thank you from the bottom of my stash barrel. Evelyn in Chicago

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!!

Ok Hayes Jam almost done with my scrap blanket and I have to admit it is unique. Its a blanket I could only love Lol! I had lots of variegated scrap yarn and not a lot of traditional light yarn. I did the best I could. Your instructions were on point as always. I have had a lot of fun with this project. Thank You!

I used all the scrap yarn I had left throughout the years and frogged some previous projects that I had not finished, I have never done anything so therapeutic and peaceful I loved it from the start to end thank you for this tutorial♥️

Thanks for this. I'm making blankets for Veterans at the VA hospital here where I live and this is so nice for that purpose not to mention adorable for many other purposes. I didn't want to make them all the same. God bless

I just made a scrap tastic blanket and I held 3 strands together instead of 2. And I used a 15 mm! It was crazy fast and turned out gorgeous!!

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

it's 2022 and I'm still making blankets with the stitch for the homeless, thanks to you, Jayda, hugs from granny in Windsor, Ont.

💐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💐

You are the best for explaining . I’ve made many things since I started crocheting years and years ago , and during the lockdown I’ve made more exciting things thanks to you. Your so cheerful and happy and it’s sends positivity to others. Thank you jayda. Iechyd da ( good health in welsh) patsy

i did that with so many leftover skeins, some did not even have 2 yards, but it became my grandson and his wife's favorite blanket because it was so colorful and happy.

WOW! This is such a beautiful project!!!!!! There is nothing "scrap" looking about this blanket at all! It looks so luxe! It reminds me of David's coat of many colours. I can't wait to try it.

ERMAHGERD! Not even two minutes in and I already love it. Those blankets! Those granny stitches.. I only saw those squares at about 4x4 inches. I am SO going to make that blanket. And that other one.. well... I just started crocheting three weeks ago, so I don't have any scraps yet, but oh boy, I definitely will be making that one too... one day. And that day will be soon. Yesterday, my sisters took me to this absolutely fabulous yarn shop, which is run by three of the sweetest old ladies (in their 80s, mind you) and I bought some 15 balls of yarn. It felt like being a kid in a candy store. BTW, two days ago I started on your big beautiful basket of variegated yarn. It's going to be an awesome basket to store my yarns and projects (yes, I am already working on three different projects after finishing my very first amigurumi). I think I'm "hooked".

I love this blanket. I am about 3/4 done with mine and I am so happy! Your instruction is wonderful! Thank you so much!

you said stay safe, as if this was made a few days ago, it looks like it's such a good way to spend the quarantine, newbie stack here so i'll come back a few years later, probably a few months XD

I have almost finished mine. I'm using 2 strands of recycled ( reclaimed) yarn and a N hook. Since this yarn is some of that horrible nasty scratchy '70's acrylic, It will be a wonderful, durable rug. I needed a new rag rug in the kitchen and as soon a s I saw this pattern I knew it would be perfect! 2 problems solved, a new rug for the kitchen and what to do with my mother's stash!

I love these crapghans ..what an awesome way to clear your stash of scraps that can't be used for anything else. I hate waste and these are practical, fun and very colorful.

I love using odd scraps like this! My local animal shelter really likes these blankets for their sick or abandoned animals and you don't have to worry about the ends! Thanks for sharing your blanket. Lucky

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!

I made two afgans like this and used up all my old yarn scraps. They turned out so beautiful! Thank you for sharing your expertise with us.

So glad I found your project Jayda! Started last weekend and am now obsessed. Using my stash has been a relief. Nothing sadder than seeing neglected yarn in your cupboards waiting for some love. Well my guys are out now, and we are all so happy! Cheers from Sydney, Australia!

I watched this video two years ago, and by the end of it, looked at my newbie yarn stash and thought ' Well who has that much yarn PFFfffft '. Well!!! Here I am a couple years later LOL and I've got a kitchen table full of scraps!!! Totally going to make it!!! Thank you so much for the pattern!

I have a lot of scrap yarn so I got started on one. I'm using a 9mm hook and chained 90. On row 15 and it's already very pretty. Thank you so much for all of your tutorials, Jayda. This project is mine...yes, I'm going to be greedy with my scrap blanket. Lol!

Thank God you keep these tutorials. I haven’t crocheted in about a year and have forgotten a lot. Love your instructions as you go along showing how it should look. This is a blessing especially in these times where we hVe to isolate ourselves because of the coronavirus. Hope u and yours are well and god bless

Such a fun blanket! I’m moving house soon, and as I start packing, I’ve realised just how much yarn I’ve got left over, or that I bought ‘Just because’, and this will be the perfect project to use it up! I can see it being a perfect camping blanket! Seriously, I’ve had some of this yarn for YEARS, and have never found the perfect project for it, meaning it’s been nestled at the bottom of the pile the whole time...

what a fantastic project. youve saved me getting rid of soooooo many left over yarns. thank you so much. and i like how you giggle :)

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.

I love your projects & crochet along many of them.God bless you and your creativity

Thank goodness !!! Now (after having knitted and crocheted countless blankets, heavy afghans, shawls & scarves) l know how to take the collective ends that I could not bear to throw away And make something cool.👍 Not all of my yarns are the same weight or material so this is perfect thank you for your wonderful idea and tutorial 🤗

Love love love this!!! I am going to get started right away with all the 50 thousand balls of odds and ends!!

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!

My grandma came over yesterday and gave me two bags of medium-small yarn balls. I'm so glad I have something to do with them.

This is my most asked for afghan , I have use yarn I have kept since 2010, I do the row by row afghan using my left over yarn love this thank you

This looks like so much fun! Thank you - I can't wait to try it,

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!

Thank you I love scrap projects beautiful very beautiful

I made a scraptastic lapghan for my father-in-law for Christmas and he loves it!! Thanks for the great idea! I love your energy, too!

I've been making a different scap blanket for years now before I even thought of showing it on a utube channel. They are great and they are all beautiful.

thank you this is a really great idea to use up all my scrap yard so I'm going to try it. Then I can have room for more yarn.yay!!!

I just now found this video. Perfect for me! I'm a knitter but want to learn to crochet. However I wanted a project for a beginner that would be something I loved and couldn't find anything I liked very much. Then I found this. How perfect. I've got closets of stash. ,(Did I mention that I was a yarn addict?) I love the size of the project because of the repetitiveness of practicing holding the yarn that works best for me, practicing keeping edges straight and the interest of the light/dark color changes. I can't wait to start!

This is beautiful and I love your happy giggles.

Dear Jayda - thank you so much for making this tutorial!! I absolutely LOVE this! I’m going to start this blanket tomorrow, but will make it a little bigger, maybe even for a twin size bed (I’ve got lots of scraps and some odd ball skeins). I can’t wait to start it!! I love all your videos because they make me so happy:).

I really love the way you created a very unique colorful afghan by using scrap yarn. Can't wait to use my large stash of scrap yarn for this project. Thank-you for sharing.

Jayda, thank you for this tutorial. I am having so much fun watching all the colors come together, even colors that normally would not combine well. This project reminds me of an abstract painting. 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.

I am glad to have found this tutorial as I too have way too much yarn of all colors and sizes. This would be great to work on while watching evening TV. I have to say that I was fascinated by how you hold the yarn in your left hand. It looks like a better way than how I do it and maybe my fingers won't cramp up so much. I'm going to give this a try although I know it will take a bit of practice. Thanks for the great video and ideas.

I made one a while back and would never bring it out cause I thought others would think it was ugly but now I see that everyone here think that these are very nice I will start to bring my out I always thought mine was very beautiful just like yours. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of crocheting with us your a great teacher you explain very well

Started mine since I’m stuck in the house sick...using all the scraps my great grandmother has left over from her years of knitting and crocheting.

love it❤you are a wonderful teacher ... i am left handed but have no problem following you. thank you !

Not only is the blanket just what I needed for all my odd balls, but I am now in love with your scissors

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!

Wow, now I have a new project for all my leftover yarns. Thanks a million

I made one of the blankets for me, and I still have scraps left over (5 years of collecting scraps helps) so Im making them as gifts now! Thank you for this wonderful idea!!!

I have never seen anyone’s hands handle the thread this way but it is easy to see what you are doing. Live this!! Thank you for sharing❤️

This is exactly what I need to do right now ... I don’t want to follow a pattern, I have so much left over yarn, I do t want to think too much lol, but I need something to do in with hands while watching tv ... thank you for the inspiration !! 🙏🏼

Jayda, my mom and I both enjoy watching you. You are a very good teacher also our favorite one!! Thank you so much!

Jayda...You are just the best...I love all your videos. I am going to try this over the weekend. I have tons of scrap yarn.. Thanks again..

You have such a positivity in your teaching style which helps we who are not as talented… it’s fun and I thank you.. my fav blanket was my Moms scraps Afghan beautiful …I’m giving it a try!! Great teacher!!!!

Jayda, I started my second blanket and like watching the colors combine. Thanks for all of your tutorials.

Love this, Jayda! You are the best crochet instructor I’ve ever seen. For the first time I am actually finishing projects and they look like yours! Amazing!

You are so awesome .Thank you so much for sharing your gift .And thank you for taking your time to go step by step by step and slow and clear . You are a amazing teacher .

You are a wonderful teacher and what a great idea! I've made my daughter a blanket every year for her birthday, and guess which one she's getting this year? This fabulous, crazy, magical blanket of many colors! Thank for the excellent video! 😊

Absolutely beautiful. Great use of left overs. Very wise 👍👍

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. =)

Making one half the size and keeping it in the vehicle for travelling when you need that extra light cover....thanks for such a practical and fun idea!.!!!!!!

Jayda, I have already made two of these blankets, one for my home and one for my son for Christmas. That was over a year ago. Now, I’m back and brushing up on this tutorial to begin another. I love this blanket!! Thank you SO much for this tutorial!!! You’re the best teacher!

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

THANK YOU!!! I absolutely love this blanket! Super quick and easy to stitch up - and the textures and colors are just so much fun!

Best blanket ever!

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!

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

I absolutely Love your scrapghan. I have made 6 huge ones rugs you name it. You are my favorite teacher.I love everything you do THANK YOU SOO MUCH . DENISE

I am going to make one too...not only with scraps....thank you so much for this tuto...love from Lisbon 😘

Thank you for this wonderful way of using up my scraps - especially mixing together different textures and fibres! As recyclers we love to find practical but beautiful ways to use up our leftovers and this is perfect! It reminds me of those colourful mats we used to have around the house as a child in the 70's! Just love it.

OMGOSH I really LOVE the old, rustic look of this blanket!!!! It's so pretty! TFP, Jayda! ^_^

Love this idea, thanks Jayda. Now that winter is drawing in it's a perfect project for the darker nights, keeps your knees warm while you're doing it too 😉 xXx ❤ xXx

I love love, love this! Having tons of yarn i needed to make use of all I had...for even years. I've not completed my blanket, but with almost a foot done its so pretty! And, I'm thinking i have enough yarn to make a second. I'm making mine for my grandchildren to cuddle up in on movie nights. It's great if you're a camper or a chilly football game. Thanks!!! i needed a new project.

Eu amei o seu trabalho. Há 25 anos comecei a fazer quadros com restos de lã, sempre com a mesma medida para utilizar os restos de lã da loja de aviamentos que minha mãe fechou. Era muita lã.... 5 anos mais tarde consegui a quantidade necessária para montar um cobertor! Eu fiquei super feliz e desde então teci mais 2 e não parei mais! Parabéns!!! O meio ambiente agradece!

I love this! I'm going to start my stash blanket over and doing it this way!

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

This is absolutely amazing thank you so very much wow ! Best video On utube !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much Jayda InStitches. This video is very attractive and easy to understand because you show us from your heart. All the best to you.

I love the look of the two yarns together. Such a brilliant idea and one I'll be doing soon. As for joining the next ball, invisible knots would work too and there would be no ends to hide either.

I am at the end of any projects. I am really excited to try this blanket.

You got my attention with that pokeball blanket in the background! Very cute!* If you need to check the fiber for wool vs. acrylic yarn, just crochet a loop of chain stitches (like the size of a wristband) and put it through the washer/dryer with your next load of laundry. You'll be able to see that wool shrinkage right away and avoid a headache of using the wool for something you want to be dryer friendly.

I keep coming back to you as the best, clearest, friendliest teacher on RU-vid!

Have started this, oh my , it crochet up extremely fast thank you

LOVE THIS!I have so much random different size yarn that this will be perfect! I might do more than 2 strands a time because the yarn in thin but this will be so much fun! Thanks!

Jayda, you are an absolute delight! I love your enthusiasm. You make wonderful, beautiful, practical items. You explain and demonstrate in a very clear manner. And, you are so much fun! You get FIVE GOLD STARS. Thank you for helping me learn to crochet. Thank you for your excellent videos.

Finally, hope for my yarn stash of odds and ends! Thank you for a very well done tutorial, love it. Now while down time these days during “home stay”, I will make a few blankets for our charity efforts.
