This bulky blanket is MUCH more my speed. However, instead of frogging everything or just leaving it as a never to be returned again WIP (work in progress), I added a few more squares to finish it up as a blanket for my dog. Even though join as you go IS crocheting them together, it still slowed me down. I don’t want to stop after every few rows to join. What I didn’t think through was how much of a buzz kill the “join as you go” method can be. I even said to myself, I’ll do join as you go – that way there will be no joining to do at the end. I don’t think anyone ever chooses a pattern that they know they won’t finish, but think about it!ĭo you like the stitch you are planning to use? Will it take a long time? How likely are you to stick with the project?Īfter I pulled my yarn out and organized it, I immediately thought GRANNY SQUARES! I love me a good granny square.
Having a yarn winder helps, but you can also roll up your scrap yarn into neat balls so you aren’t stopping after every color to untangle. If you’re like me, once you start crocheting, you do not want to have to stop to find more yarn or to untangle. You may have more scrap yarn than you realize! You want to dig out all of that scrap yarn you want to use ahead of time so you can see what you have. I’m still working on the length as I actually ran out of scrap yarn! I used 40 oz of yarn total and it’s about 4′ in length so far. I chained 110 and is roughly 5′ in width.
You can start with any chain you would like.One strand of yarn was a “cool” color (blue,green, purple) and one strand of yarn was a “warm” color (red, pink, orange, yelllow).I used two strands of worsted weight yarn held together throughout the entire project.I’m sharing with you all of the details on this bulky crochet scrap blanket I am working on and my tips and tricks for making a scrap blanket! Bulky Crochet Scrap Blanket Details Holding together two strands of worsted weight yarn while using a 10mm crochet hook makes for a quick and easy crochet scrap blanket.
