Knitting Stashbusters: 25 great ways to use up your yarn leftovers of one ball or less

Description:

About this item:

For knitters who want to know how to make use of their stash and avoid waste, this collection of patterns has the answer.

Every knitter knows that sometimes you have yarn left over after finishing a make – maybe a whole ball, often slightly less than a ball, but either way too much to just throw it away and not enough to return it to the seller. Then there's the yarn you buy without a particular make in mind, just because it's a beautiful colour, or you love the feel of it, or it was in a flash sale. But what can you do with all these lovely bits and pieces? Knitting Stashbusters has the answer: 25 lovely projects specially chosen to use up your yarn. Some can be made with one ball, others use up smaller amounts of several different shades, but all of them are chosen to save you from wasting what you already have in store. You can make a cute garland of hearts to brighten up a room, or knit a penguin toy for a new baby. Perhaps you'd like to make all sorts of cosies, or knit storage pots and a pencil case. Or you could choose to make a cute cottage doorstop using colours that match your own house. And once you've reduced the size of your stash, what better excuse could you have to go out and buy more yarn!

I thought it was useful it had varied ideas and was just what I was looking for as my aunt knots and has lots of left over bits.She hasn’t told me how it has gone so I don’t know how it is from a knitters point of view.

Super ways to use up small amounts of wool to produce creative items.A very useful book which I will enjoy using.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous book, especially for craft stall knitters

With the help of this book, I am slowly but surely working through odd bits of left over yarn and creating items for our Church craft stall. The patterns are easy to follow and varied and the techniques are clearly listed at the back of the book. I have not used hardly any other patterns for several months now. Highly recommended.

Good product, was well received as a gift. However I did see the same one in a store for a fraction of the price so maybe bear that in mind.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed with content

S.B. · 30 May 2025

I personally was disappointed by this book and wouldn't recommend to others. Not a large range of patterns, and really basic or boring. Nothing in it has jumped out as something I want to knit.It isn't really suitable for learners, and you would need to purchase more wool to complete some projects. It doesn't want you to rush to try out patterns and no fresh ideas. Sorry! Another book for the charity shop from me.

Some great ideas

E.B. · 18 February 2023

Easy to follow instructions for all levels of knitters. Good to be able to use up those leftover yarns for some fun ideas.

Cute little knits

Cute little knits in this book. Personally will probably only do one or two but nice book to have in pattern collection.

A good way to use up leftover yarn

m.s. · 13 April 2021

I usually end up with small amounts of yarn after knitting a project and this book has some good ideas on how to use up my stash of odds and ends yarn. Some of the ideas were new versions of things I've done to use up the extra yarn in the past, but there were some things I hadn't considered for projects.

Cute fun book

Nice, easy, quick to knit patterns.
