Using Up Scraps: Up for a Scrap Party?

Dear users, dear authors,
Now turn your scraps, leftover yarn, fabric scraps, paper scraps, and cardboard scraps into delightful projects. Have fun!

@Authors,
no quantity limit. Don’t forget links, images, info, etc.

Leftover yarn in cotton or bamboo with cotton is great for making small cloths that can be used, for example, as a cuddle cloth, a gentle washcloth, or a dishcloth. The cloths shown here are all knitted in double-face.

For this protective sleeve for an e-reader or small tablet, you can mix up to four colors and use leftover yarn from a larger project. The sleeve is knitted in double-face, so it looks great from both sides and can also be turned inside out.

With the tapestry crochet technique, you can crochet really wonderful motifs in a simple way. It’s very easy; only single crochet stitches are used. Here I’m introducing small cloths that are perfect for using up leftovers. Depending on the yarn used, they can be turned into cuddle cloths, washcloths, dishcloths, or potholders.

These cute little gnomes are great to crochet from small leftovers. The size can be varied, and so can the faces.
