52 Weeks of Scrap Yarn: Projects for Crafters is an inspiring collection that contains 52 scrap yarn patterns ranging from small to large projects, from accessories and home decor to sweaters and cardigans. Some designs are made entirely of scraps, while others use them in smaller details as an eye-catching design element. In addition to knitting, there are also a few crochet pieces.
