Crochet with Leftover Yarn | Nicki Trench

25 patterns which use one ball of yarn or less, or which use up small amounts of different colours.

The 25 gorgeous patterns include projects for the home, such as a pillow cover, egg cosies and mug warmers, and makes which are ideal as gifts, including baby hats and booties, toys and bunting.

Some feature stripes, squares or flowers, which offer the chance to use up little amounts of leftover yarn in different colours. Many are small, quick and easy, so they are perfect for beginners.

There's also a handy illustrated guide to every crochet stitch, just in case you need a refresher, as well as useful tips on choosing substitute yarns and checking your tension. Now you can stop feeling guilty about your ever-increasing stash and be inspired instead.
