Green Crafting & Stash-Busting Crochet

May 4, 2013 by AllFreeCrochetAfghanPatterns

Green Crafting: 14 Crochet Patterns to Make with Scrap Yarn There are quite a few crochet patterns that will help yarn hoarders burn through that stash in no time. AllFreeCrochetAfghanPatterns has pulled together the best patterns for the cause and you will be well on your way to crocheting the days away. The best part is, you can feel great about using your left over yarn because it’s green crafting! By using up all of your yarn, you are preventing waste and helping keep the earth clean.

Green crafting can be a lot of fun, especially when you are crocheting. Many crocheters learn how to take yarn from existing sweaters at thrift stores and crochet with the yarn again. Talk about thrifty! You can find really nice wool sweaters that have seen better days and unravel the yarn to use it for something new. By crocheting with recycled yarn, you can create a recycled craft that was cheap to make and a blast to crochet.
