      • Rules:
    1. Must use “scraps” - what would qualify as “scraps”?
      1. Leftover Yarn
      2. Leftover Fabric (yes, you can sew a FO)
      3. Yarn that you are repurposing from its originally intended project (must also list in the Frog it Thread)
    2. FO can be knit, crocheted, sewed, etc.
    3. WIPS ALLOWED
    4. Needs some pattern suggestions?

    You get the idea. If you have other suggestions, please add them to the Ravelry Scrap Along Thread. There is no shortage of projects. Not sure if something qualifies? Just ask.

    Get creative and have fun!

      • Some suggestions for yarn (Note pattern calls for fingering weight yarn, some of our suggestions are for sport or DK weight yarn, please check your gauge if you are substituting a different yarn weight):
