Spring Clean Stash Busting: Free Pattern Round Up

Spring has fully sprung in most parts of North America but there’s one part of Spring that can feel never ending. I am talking about cleaning and clearing out my friends!

As much as we love our stashes, they can get overwhelming sometimes and transform into a source of stress and discomfort. We want you to love and value your stash again so we have brought you this Spring Clean Stash Busting: Free Pattern Round Up to help spark some new ideas and inspiration for your next stash dive!

At its worst, stash diving can feel like a slog. Pulling out the same old yarns you buried in there last time you tried to tidy up. At its best, spring clean stash diving can feel like a deep breath, giving you and your creative time a perk of fresh air and fun spirit.

1: The Spring Rhapsody Pillow from Nana’s Crafty Home was made for the season (literally!). Sometimes learning a new stitch can be daunting when it is part of a large garment. Take all those shorter pieces of yarn and try out some new stitches on this sampler pillow!

2: Blue Star Crochet’s Meadowside Baby Blanket uses crochet to get the look of a woven blanket. With one base color, the contrast color combos are endless! The stitch pattern on this blanket is nice and tight so there’s nowhere for little fingers to get caught.

3: When I think of OG stash busting, I think of the classic log cabin pattern. It’s such a fun way to play with color in little concentrated squares! Devine Debris’s Linen Log Cabin Square pattern will get you started on a technique that can be used for blankets, coasters, table runners, and all sorts of other projects! And the little squares are great to have with you on the go.

4: Show your stripes with the Rainbow Snake from Golden Lucy Crafts! I love the idea of seeing just how long you could make your snake. This would be such a special keepsake for a little one in your life.

5: Are there ever enough dishcloths? No, there are not. Perfect to use around the house (of course), they are also perfect to build up another kind of stash - a gift stash! The stitch pattern on the Pankh Dishcloth from KnitterKnotter looks like it would be great to really help out with the scrubbing.

6: Speaking of gifts, the Bumble Puff Beauty Biscuits from Hooks Books & Wanderlust would make a perfect gift. Practical AND pretty, they will add a thoughtful touch to a gift basket or be appreciated all on their own.

7: It’s time to celebrate nature and new growth so what symbolizes that better than flowers? The Crochet Flower Crown from Stitch & Hustle is springtime all over!

8: Cooler temperatures may be behind us for now, but we still need to keep hair under control. No one wants to deal with sticky strands when outside enjoying the day. Enter the Rhapsody Headband from Pine Tree Crochet!

9: Talk about having fun with your stash! The Mod Crochet Beads Necklace from Crochet With Mary Beth is ready for fun for sure. The end result has the bonus of being perfect for warm weather wear as it won’t stick to your skin when the temps rise.

We hope you’ve enjoyed our Spring Clean Stash Busting: Free Pattern Round Up. Keep that stash down and have fun doing it!

One of my favorite things about Spring is the transitional weather and the longer days of sun. The days are warm when the sun is beaming down on us during the day and seeing the grass grow greener as the winter chill fades away. But the chill is there in the evening so it is still time to get cozy. I think Brava Sport is the perfect yarn to make all the tings this time of year.

As you can see, this is a great yarn to make my Amsterdam Crochet Your Fade Free Shawl pattern.

Shown here in beautiful greens and spring inspired colors you can make this shawl in your favorite palette to go through the whole season into summer. You can make this in contrasting colors or a faded palette like I did - the options are limitless!

A great thing about Brava Sport is that it is one of the better 100% acrylic yarns I have worked with. Wearing this shawl makes me think… oooh it is like buttah!

And I love that it is hypoallergenic, stands up to wear and use, and it is machine washable! I throw it in a netted laundry bag and toss in the washer on gentle and BAM! like new every time.

And the truth is that it gets even softer every time I wash it.

Another great thing about the Amsterdam Crochet Your Fade Shawl in Brava Sport yarn is that you can make it as big as you like or as small as you like by simply adding more rows in the pattern repeat.

I modified the pattern by just doing the color changes when I could see the color I was using was running out instead of counting rows to meet the pattern. My shawl came out slightly smaller that the original in this case but it is still large and fabulous and I love it.

You can also go the other way when you Get Brava Sporty For Spring With The The Amsterdam Crochet Your Fade Shawl Free Pattern by adding a fourth color and another striped color change and more rows.

You have endless opportunities to add more colors and make it the biggest shawl of love ever!

The Amsterdam Crochet Your Fade Shawl in Brava Sport yarn is a great rhythmic pattern once you get the repeat rows down. So you can pop on your fave latest binge show and stitch away and before you know it have a beautiful shawl to wrap yourself in.

Being an acrylic yarn, the Brava Sport is a little bit dense as it stitches up. If you want a more airy flow to your shawl, you may want to go up a hook size. In that case, don’t worry too much about gauge as much as creating a fabric you love.
