Effective System

four scrap yarn baby hats
May 2018
I have fewer sock yarn scraps since I've started knitting a baby hat immediately after finishing a pair of socks. If I have any yarn remaining after knitting a hat. it is usually a very small amount, which results in the colorful hats shown in the top row.

Sometimes, it is overwhelming to have a bag full of scraps, so I am happy with my "new" system.

How do you keep your scraps under control?

  1. That really is a great idea and I especially love the multi-colored ones. My sock scraps are put into a project bag with the "scrappy blanket" I started a year ago...of course I haven't worked on it in 11 months!!

    I put mine in my sock yarn blanket.

  4. These hats are always so cute. My fabric scraps are always out of control, even though I try to keep them sorted by color and cut often into some standards sizes. But they multiply in the night, I'm sure.

  5. I always love seeing your scrappy hats, especially the ones with several colors in them. You probably know where I've been putting my scraps, into the nine-patch squares blanket. I also have a crocheted version of various size granny squares for worsted weight that the scraps from mittens goes into. I still want to make some of these hats though.
