Do you suffer from leftovers? Leftover yarn that is? I know that whenever I do a yarn project I have these little bits – or bigger bits – of yarn that will not go with anything.

I could wrap packages.

I could use them for string to make a banner.

Or I could check out All Free Crochet where they have ideas for using up your leftovers – this rocks my boat!

This photo is a recent snapshot of my leftovers… so what could I make?

How about his “Blossom Necklace?”  I really like how delicate it is. It is a way to use my yarn that is a bit more like string.  Those were a gift and I’m never sure what to do with them. I think I found the project!

I adore this preemie hat. Alli has other projects at all free crochet, this one is on her blog. I like it because if you don’t have enough yarn for a whole hat you can do rows of different colors. Brilliant!

Here are some more patterns to use up your leftovers at all free crochet. Just put the name in the search box.

1. Dread Head
2. Button Flap Beanie – Preemie
3. Pretty Little Headband

5. Anthropologie Knockoff Headband
6. Cell Phone Wrist Pouch
7. Jolene Sugarbaker Wristies

Do you have a lot of yarn bits too?
