Use up all those leftover balls of yarn you have lying around with a colorful crochet scrapghan!
What is a scrapghan?
If you are new to the term scrapghan, it is exactly what you are thinking … an afghan made from yarn scraps.
scraps + afghan = scrapghan
Why Make a scrapghan?
Here are a few of my favorite things about making a scrapghan …
- reliving the memories of past projects and perhaps the special occasions or times in your life that go along with them
- the opportunity to try out a new pattern or technique without worrying about ruining your new or expensive yarn
- a chance to get creative and play with color combinations
- and of course, using up all the leftover yarn!

Count me in too. I love scrap quilts and afghans, lots of color and lots to enjoy.
I don’t understand drop color A and then start color B in “any 3 chain space” and of coarse again start color C in any 3 chain space. Are you totally cutting the yarn between each row ? And you can start row 2 or 3 at any 3 chain space ?
