66 Stash Busting Crochet Projects

When you crochet you’re often left with odds and ends of different colors from projects past. Oftentimes you’ll have just a little bit of a whole bunch of colors that go together really well. But what are you going to do with 5 yards of yarn? If you’re like me you feel guilty at the thought of throwing it out so you stash it. And looking at my stash I was inspired to share a whole mess of stash busting crochet projects. Sixty-six stash busting crochet projects, to be exact.

With cooler weather just around the corner, I have found myself more inspired to take up my crochet hook than I have in ages. But since it’s still too warm to take up something like an afghan I’ve been working with smaller projects that are perfect keeping cool and busting the stash.

Today I’m sharing with you 66 inspiring crochet projects that I  hope you’ll love. Some require only a small amount of yarn and are perfect for those half leftover skeins from other projects. Others use scraps to create interesting color palettes and are great for using up your yarn stash. But all of these projects in one way or another would do very well to help clear out your unused yarn!

Please be kind and click through to the original maker’s websites to pin the images in this post. It’s the best possible way to thank them for all of their hard work!
