Using the abundance of help and information in the patterns, numerous crocheters have crocheted a FreshStitches animal as their first crochet project! ...more

Mr. Scrappy Crochet Pattern

Meet Mr. Scrappy!

We’re all plagued with those tiny pieces of yarn in our stash… and it’s a shame to throw them out. Mr. Scrappy to the rescue! This adorable animal is made using the scraps that are laying at the bottom of your stash. All you need to do is gather scraps of the same size, and get to crocheting!

Mr. Scrappy measures about 7″ tall when crocheted with a worsted weight yarn.

Materials Required

Use as few as one color… or as many as you want! About 200 yards required. This pattern can be used with any weight yarn, but plan on using more yardage for bulkier yarns.
