Transform your yarn odds and ends into a colorful home keepsake with Lily’s Scrap Blanket, a free chevron striped blanket knitting pattern by Webster Street Knittery. Designed as an adaptable formula rather than a rigid pattern, this project works with any consistent yarn weight to build everything from a sweet stroller-sized baby blanket to a generous couch throw. Playful zigzag chevron stripes keep the rhythm lively, while neat built-in i-cord selvages create clean, structured borders that resist curling along the edges.
The sample blends a vibrant variety of 2-ply and 4-ply fingering weight sock yarn remnants, pre-joined in 9 to 30 gram increments and wound into massive monster yarn cakes for uninterrupted knitting. You can follow that method for mindless color changes or simply knot in new odds and ends as you go, making it the ultimate stash-busting recipe for every knitter. Gather your odd balls of sock yarn, wind up your own giant cake, and cast on this cheerful chevron blanket knitting pattern for an addictive stash-buster!
