Ready to tackle that drawer full of odd, scratchy, and mismatched yarn scraps? This ingenious scrap yarn crochet basket pattern is the ultimate solution! This free stashbuster from My Poppet Makes turns all that leftover yarn – even the scratchy or ugly bits – into a functional piece of storage.
The key to creating a really firm fabric is holding about 4-5 strands of DK yarn together, which mimics super chunky weight. You’ll use a large 9 mm hook and simple single crochet stitches, so it works up incredibly fast! The large size (12″ tall by 13.5″ wide) is perfect for storing toys, blankets, or yarn. This versatile scrap yarn crochet basket even packs away flat when not in use and makes a great planter basket!
