Many lovers of knitting sooner or later face the fact that there are a lot of residues from various skeins of yarn. After all, when there is little left of the tangle, this is too little to tie something else, but it is a pity to throw it away. Indeed, throwing away the rest of the yarn is not worth it at all, because from them you can create many interesting things. Knitting from a small number of different threads is characteristic in that the product is very interesting in appearance, variegated .

Features of the choice of yarn

Different residues of yarn can be rolled into one ball and use the resulting multi-colored material. To do this, take several ends of the skeins that you want to use at once, and wrap them on your finger. After some time, remove from the finger and continue to create a skein until all the threads run out.

Crochet ideas

Knitting from the remnants of yarn is not difficult. It is only necessary to develop in advance exactly how you will use the material that you have based on the quantity, colors and knitting patterns.

How to make a mug case

The cover on the mug allows the drink not to cool longer. Holding a mug in such a case is very pleasant and convenient. Material will need quite a bit. So,

We make the initial loop, tighten. We collect twenty air. This is the height of the cover. If this height does not suit you, adjust the number of loops for yourself.
Next, skip one first loop. We knit 15 single crochet. We knit both on the front and on the wrong side. At the end of each row, we make one air loop by lifting, we turn it on the other side and again knit the crochets.
We knit until the cover matches the circumference of your mug.
Then at the end, in the middle, cut a small strip about 5 cm long for the handle of the mug. We make a hole on it for a button. To do this: make an air lifting loop, knit one loop, make four new ones.
We also knit the last loop.
Take a thread of a different color. We tie everything with columns without a crochet to get a hem in a new color.
Sew on the button first. The cover for the mug is ready!

How to knit a pillow

A hand-made pillow is a great decoration element that will always delight the eye. It’s not difficult to knit a pillow:

We pick up five air loops on the hook, lock in a ring. Through the resulting ring, we connect four groups of three columns with a crochet. Instead of the first column for lifting a row, we knit three air ones.
Now two columns with one double crochet into a ringlet. Another airy loop and another group of three columns with one crochet - in the ring.
Again, one airy, three more columns with one yarn in the same ring. Repeat again.
We connect the loop on the hook with the beginning of the row, with the third air loop. But before making the connection, we introduce a thread of a different color.
Pull the new thread through the two remaining loops. We knit the next row in the same way as the previous one.
We make four corners. We finish everything with one air. We connect the loop on the hook to the beginning of the row.
We tie the threads on the back side, hide the ends with a hook. The fragment is ready.
We knit in this way as many fragments as you need for a pillow. We bind them together.

We knit a basket

Knitted baskets are an excellent accessory in the interior, besides they can be useful in everyday life. You can tie the basket yourself. It is advisable to use not very thin yarn. At any time, you can change the thread to another.

We make the first loop. We hook two air loops onto the hook. Knit eight single crochet. We connect with the first loop.
In the second row, in each stitch of the previous row, we knit two single crochet. You should get 16 columns in a circle.
We connect with the first loop. In the third row, we act as follows: we knit an air lifting loop, in the first we knit 1 column, in the second - 2 columns, in the third - 1, in the fourth - 2, and so on.
We knit the whole circle. We connect with the first column. The next row will be double bars.
Two columns of one loop through two, according to the scheme: 2, 1, 1. We knit to the desired width of the bottom. We start to knit in height.
We create a kind of scar with which we can connect the walls.
We make an air loop of lifting, we knit a crochet, we continue to knit, introducing a hook on one side and leading out on the other.
We finish the series, start a new “split” technique. It consists in knitting through the base, and not through visible loops. We continue to knit in this technique.
We connect the end and the beginning of the row. We add new rows, starting from the lifting loop, until the height is satisfactory. The basket is ready.
