You finish knitting a large project and set aside the rest of the yarn. Over time, so many small skeins of yarn accumulate that it is impossible to count. These balls will lie in a secluded corner until the general cleaning of the house begins. Then they go into the trash bin, making room for new ones. Surely many needlewomen face the described problem.

However, if desired, the remaining threads can be used, for example, to make many necessary products for children and adults, as well as for the home. We propose to consider what to knit with knitting needles from leftover yarn in this article.

Booties for baby

The following idea is very original and simple. To make it, you will need very little yarn. If one skein is not enough, the product can be decorated using threads of several colors. There are only two measurements that need to be taken. This is the length and girth of the foot. For knitting, you should also prepare two hosiery knitting needles. It is recommended to determine their number by the thickness of the yarn. Ideally, they should be one and a half to two times thicker.

So, let’s get started with the first version of something that can be easily knitted from leftover yarn. First we need to make a fragment of the pattern measuring ten loops by ten rows, which in our case will be based on the stockinette stitch. That is, we will alternate rows of knit and purl stitches. We measure the resulting fragment using a centimeter and divide the previously determined values:

• Foot length per number of rows.
• Foot circumference by number of loops.

That's the whole difficulty of knitting slippers from leftover yarn. Now we multiply the total values ​​by ten. As a result, we will find out how many loops we need to cast on and knit rows in order to make a product of the required size. According to calculations, we knit two rectangles of the same type. Then fold them in half lengthwise and sew them in ½. Then you need to baste the two back edges, forming the heel. We carefully thread the thread along the edge of the sock and pull it off, securing it on the wrong side. Now all that remains is to make any animal, adding a muzzle, ears, tail and other details.

House slippers for adults

Knitting with leftover yarn can be much more interesting than if you have a lot of yarn of the same color on hand. After all, this is a great space for imagination. For example, you can make the item striped, spotted, or knit an unusual pattern. Many experienced needlewomen use embroidery patterns. And they use them to knit amazing patterns on sweaters, scarves, hats, socks, and mittens. You just need to use your ingenuity, and the process will go quickly.

If our reader liked the interesting idea described in the previous paragraph, he can perform it for an adult. Then he will need a little more yarn than for booties. Otherwise the technology will be identical.

Unusual chair

Every person wants to highlight not only himself, but also the place in which he lives. Parents especially try, wanting to arrange their baby’s room in the best possible way. We want to offer you an original version of what to knit with knitting needles from leftover yarn. This is an unusual seat for a chair in the shape of a donkey, but you can use any other animal if you wish. Perhaps the attentive reader noticed that in the proposed photo the product is made using a hook. However, it can also be made with knitting needles. To work, you will need a standard stool with a square seat.

First, we need to calculate the number of loops by measuring the seat and knitting a fragment of the pattern. Having found out the number of loops to cast on and the number of rows, add ten pieces to each value and start knitting. When the square is ready, attach it to the stool and make the head. Its principle is similar to what we described for booties earlier. Only the size of the product will be slightly larger and all sides will need to be sewn. After this, we stuff the donkey’s head with cotton wool or scraps and sew it to the body.

Funny service

Don't know what to knit with leftover yarn? We suggest making “clothes” out of it for cups and a teapot. It is very simple to implement such an idea. First you need to prepare five hosiery needles. Next, we knit a fragment of the pattern, measure each item in the service and calculate the necessary parameters. We cast on the correct number of loops and distribute them onto four knitting needles. We knit in the round using the fifth (auxiliary) knitting needle. We embroider faces and add funny ears to the “clothes” on teacups.

When thinking about what you can knit from leftover yarn, pay attention to the fact that it can be used to make not only beautiful, but also practical things that will delight you or your loved ones. We are talking about a bright and unusual scarf. It's incredibly easy to make with knitting needles. But the result will certainly impress with its originality.

To fulfill your plan, you will need to take two knitting needles. You should also prepare all the threads you have. Feel free to determine the number of colors yourself. After this, we knit three strips with a width of ten to fifteen loops and a length equal to the desired length of the scarf. When everything is ready, sew the three ends of the strips together and braid. At the end we also secure the product with threads. Add tassels or fringe along the edges. Amazing scarf made with knitting needles!

Striped sweater for kids and adults

If the leftover yarn is not small skeins, but rather large ones, you can use them to create something more serious than decorations for cups. For example, a wonderful sweater. Required measurements:

• The starting point of the armhole is from the intended bottom of the jacket to the armpit.
• The length of the armhole is from the armpit to the middle of the shoulder.
• Neck - the diameter of the cutout for the head.
• Chest circumference is the circumference of the body at armpit level.
• Hip circumference is a similar measurement, but in the area of ​​the intended bottom of the product.
• Sleeve length - from mid-shoulder to wrist.
• Wrist circumference - the circumference of the palm clenched into a fist.

Having calculated the required number of loops and rows, we begin knitting. You can make a sweater from leftover yarn using stockinette stitch knitting needles or choose an original pattern. Otherwise we just knit, finishing one skein and starting another. In this case, we focus on our calculations.

Bright rug for home

We have already mentioned earlier that every person strives to decorate their home with something special and unique. That is why we invite you to create one very beautiful and necessary thing.

We put four loops on the knitting needles and knit six rows. Then the fun begins, because we will make an original round rug using knitting needles from leftover yarn. To do this, you need to move in a circle in a special way. We will talk about it in detail below. When the small rectangle is ready, insert the knitting needle into the loop of the bottom row on the left side and knit it. Then we knit another loop from the next one in the same row. Then we go back along the wrong side, but we knit three regular loops, and we connect the next two pairs together. Now we move along the front side again. At the same time, we also grab the loop of the previous row. Let's knit it. Then the second one.

In this way we move along the left side row, knitting two loops. By following this knitting technique, you can make an interesting spiral-shaped rug.

Elementary soft rug

Using the instructions presented above, you can knit a wonderful blanket, as well as a bed cape or an unusual shawl. It all depends on your imagination.

If our reader only has very small skeins of yarn left, there is no point in tying them together, since they will not be enough for anything. However, you can easily make a rug out of pompoms. To do this, we wind yarn on two to four fingers and count the number of turns. We tie the middle, trim the edges and form a pompom. We make the desired number of such parts, and then simply sew them together using a sewing needle and thread of a neutral or contrasting color.

This technique does not require knitting needles. It's easy to do with a child or a family member who doesn't know how to knit.

Rustic bedspread

In the last few years, a trend based on folk style has gained unprecedented popularity. For this reason, we offer the reader an interesting version of the bedspread. It will be an excellent decoration for your own home or an original gift to a friend or acquaintance.

First, we need to decide on a pattern. The simplest option would be stockinette stitch. It can be used for warm and thick bedspreads. But if you want to make a summer cape, then it is recommended to choose a more openwork pattern. One of them is shown in the photo below.

It's very easy to do. We put eleven loops on the knitting needles and knit the same number of rows, based on the proposed pattern. At the end, close the loops without tightening them too much. We take yarn of a different color and repeat the already familiar steps. Then we perform the next square. We knit them as many as we want. Here you need to take into account one nuance, which is that the threads should be approximately the same in thickness so that all the squares are equal in side length. When the main stage of making a blanket from leftover yarn with knitting needles is completed, all that remains is to assemble all the fragments together using a needle and thread.

Yarn can be wrapped, yarn can be glued to create shaped elements, yarn gives a special texture and any color to each surface you choose. Yarn is a completely unique and versatile material for needlework, and we’re not talking about knitting here!

1. We collect the remains of yarn of approximately the same thickness (slight variations are possible), but of different textures and different colors and shades. We take the cheapest photo frame - from any material. With glue, we simply wrap the yarn more or less evenly around the edges of the frame, alternating colors. The frame under the yarn should not be visible. In several places we add 4-10 different small beads, stringing them onto the yarn (one at a time or in small series) and then securing them to the frame with drops of glue.

As you can see in the photo, frames wrapped in white wool yarn look just as good, if not better.

You can put anything in the frame from a mirror to a quote, a photo or a snapshot of your family and friends.

2. The situation is similar with lamp shades/shades. You just need a lot more yarn, and the base of the lampshade should be used not randomly, but in coils tightly fitted to each other, periodically adding a drop of glue.

If you already have a lampshade - good, if not, then the top of the lampshade is, in fact, just a frame made of strong wire (two circles - the bottom one is larger, the top one is slightly smaller, and 4 vertical connections between the circles) and glued on top (or sewn ) thin, stiff fabric or sheet of plastic. Therefore, you can always assemble the lampshade with your own hands.

3. Using the same principle, bracelets are decorated with yarn - in ombre or gradient style, napkin rings and other shapes are formed.

Combine two or more types of yarn - of different thicknesses and textures - and get absolutely amazing things.

4. Make pompoms of different sizes from yarn - like, see in the pictures below - and from pompons a variety of elements from rugs, cards and toys to flowers, crib mobiles, Christmas tree garlands and curtains.

5. Thread balls (and other shapes) are created from thin yarn. How - see.

6. In the middle, also using drops of hot glue, you can wrap yarn around a box, jar and any other suitable container. Elementary and very effective.

7. Wire contours wrapped in yarn. Cover the wire with a strip of crepe paper and wait until the glue dries. We bend the glued wire into the desired contour. We tie the tip of a skein of yarn to the outline in the optimal place and begin to wrap the wire outline with yarn in arbitrary directions. At the same time, each time touching the contour, we wrap the yarn around the wire twice.

A branch from this direction, in a slightly different style:

8. You can draw with yarn. How - see more details.

9. Naturalistic feathers can be made from fine yarn. We wrap the wire with yarn, securing it with drops of glue. We cut pieces of yarn of equal lengths of different colors (in the range of feathers), tie them (in the middle of the length) in a row, one after the other, closely on the glued wire. We dip the future feather in a glue solution (or a solution with starch), place it on polyethylene on a horizontal surface, align the ends of the yarn, placing them strictly parallel and pointing them slightly at an upward angle. Wait for it to dry, cut it to the shape of a feather.

11. Wall panels are created from yarn. To do this, you simply need to tie long pieces of multi-colored yarn on a thin wooden stick. We cut the yarn at the bottom, giving the edge the desired shape.

12. Garland of ghosts made of yarn. Ghosts are created according to the principle of pompoms, only from very long coils.

13. Decorative tassels are made from yarn. To do this, we also wrap yarn, for example, around our hand. Then a separate piece of yarn is wrapped crosswise at one end and cut at the other. We use the brushes themselves at our own discretion.

14. Wrap yarn around the simplest wire hangers - and the latter can already be used for practical and decorative purposes as hooks for organizing your work space.

17. And this is how, with a little help from craft felt, you can make dolls from yarn. And other three-dimensional figures, for example, .

Every knitter tends to accumulate unused pieces of yarn over time. And the question arises - what to make from these leftovers? In this article we will convince you – there are a lot of options! Moreover, from multi-colored balls with knitting needles you can knit unique items and accessories that are not inferior to the best designer developments. So, what to knit with knitting needles from leftover yarn?

Original round rug

The rug consists of several elements. You can start knitting with any of them. The sizes are determined by the number of loops cast on. In this model, the side of one element is approximately 60p.

Description

We dial 60p.

1st p.: 59 p., leave the outermost 60th p. on the sp. not, knitting;

2p.: on the same sp., with one remaining 60th p., remove the 59th p. and knit the remaining 58 p.;

3rd row: knit 57 stitches, and leave the 58th stitch unknitted. We already get 3p;

4p.: to three loops on the sp. We remove one more, we knit the rest.

Thus, through each row we will knit with knitting needles on 1p. less. We form a triangle, along the diagonal of which there are unknitted loops. There will be 60 of them.

1st: knit these 60p. and add 1 stitch at the end;

2p.: knit 60 p., leave the outermost one without knitting;

3p: knit a row, add 1p at the end.

When the unclosed 30 points are typed, we begin the decrease on the side on which we added. Close 1 p. If the loops are not closed, holes will form.

Thus, we make decreases on both sides: we close on one side, and there is no need to close on the other. We continue until we have 1p left.

Now – attention!!! – knit 60p. on the side where the reductions were only made.

Knit like the first triangle, decreasing stitches from the side where 30 closed sts remain.

We look at the photo for the entire progress of the work.

Striped rug made from scraps

To work you will need:

• remaining pieces of thread;
• hook;
• straight sp.

Description

Collect the remaining balls of thread. The more colors there are, the more interesting the rug will be.

We crochet chains of air loops from these leftovers. At the same time, we adjust the thickness: if necessary, we take the threads in several folds, focusing on the thickest threads, so that our chains turn out to be the same thickness.

We sew the knitted chains and wind them into a ball. We alternate colors randomly.

Having made several balls, we begin to knit a rug from the leftovers. This is best done with thick knitting needles No. 8 (No. 10). We knit in regular satin stitch - knit or purl. Alternating short sections of color look especially original.

Rug - checkerboard made from leftovers

The size and color combination of such a rug can be any. Everything is determined by the assortment of leftovers and your design ideas. This description tells you how to knit a rug measuring 25 cm by 25 cm.

To work you will need:

• threads of mixed composition of the same density and thickness;
• sp. No. 4;
• hook No. 3;
• sewing pins for fixation.

Description

The product consists of 10 rectangular parts. Each of them has a thickness equal to 1/5 the width of the finished rug. For each of the stripes you need to cast on 10 stitches with knitting needles, which is approximately equal to 5 cm, and knit 25 cm in length. The finished strips need to be straightened and steamed.

Assembly

Lay out the parts on a flat surface, alternating by color. Secure along the edges with sewing pins.

We crochet the perimeter with single crochets (SC), capturing two parts in one column: located along the side and across it. At the corners we knit 3СБН every 1p.

Then we knit another row of sc, knitting 3 sc from the loop in the corners.

Carefully hide the ends of the threads. Steam the product. If necessary, the strips can be stitched from the inside out with a regular needle - for fixation. This way the edges of the product will curl less.

Bookmarks

They can be made in two versions: in the form of a smooth ribbon or a braid with a pompom. For the ribbon, we cast on from 5 to 10 stitches (depending on the thickness of the yarn), knit the required length with garter stitch and close the loops. For the braid we dial 6p. 2p on both sides. we knit the wrong side. satin stitch, and in the center we knit a 2x2 braid. We make a pompom separately and sew it on.

Ball

To work you will need:

• threads from leftovers (three colors);
• straight knitting needles;
• filler;
• needle with a large eye;
• regular needle and thread;
• hook.

Description

We will make the ball with a scarf pattern without edge stitches.

2p.: 1n., persons. up to the last two p., 2p. in 1l.;

3rd step: change the color of the yarn. All items are knitted.

4r. and all purl rows: like the 2nd row. Facial r. in the future we knit - l. P.

5 rub. change the color of the yarn. We knit a parallelogram with alternating colors.

Knit 60 rubles, repeating the alternation of yarn colors 10 times.

We close the loops. You can do this with crochet or knitting - whichever is more convenient for you.

We break the thread, leaving a long end. We will need it to stitch the ball.

Assembly

Fold it as in the photo. Sew together, matching the loops. Fasten the thread without cutting. Turn the ball onto your face.

Now we need to fill our ball with filler. Fill it tightly. Tighten the second edge.

We hide the edge of the thread. To do this, we stitch the ball with a needle and tear it off anywhere, slightly stretching it. She will go inside on her own.

If you are not satisfied with the result, you can more accurately match the colors at the junction. To do this, we tighten the threads using a regular needle and threads to match the color.
