Granny Square Scarf: The Ultimate Stashbuster

Granny Square Scarf: The Ultimate Stashbuster

This scarf might be my new favorite thing. It was a total joy to make. I love the homemade patchwork vibes and how crazy colorful it is, of course!

I loosely followed the instructions for the Sunshine Cloud Scarf pattern that Vickie Howell designed for us. You can grab that free pattern right here

Knit Collage Sunshine Cloud Scarf Pattern - simple crochet pattern for bulky chunk yarns

I went with 12 squares instead of the 8 that are called for in the pattern and omitted the fringe. I also used a different yarn/color for every single round so that it turned into the ultimate stash buster. 

Below are the details for the exact yarns I used in my scarf. Some of the yarns I used have been discontinued but the beauty of this project is that it works with so many of our yarns and you don't need too much of any one color. If you have a lot of yarn leftovers from various projects, this is a great way to use up those bits and bobs!
