Very simple stash-buster blanket.

I'm doing a stash buster blanket, but doing treble crochet. When joining new yarn, I'm just knotting the two colours together, and leaving the ends. I'm quite happy with the result so far. It is not very long yet, but its the desired width.

Good idea about knotting ends instead of sewing them in.

Witzend, that looks nice and cosy. It's so relaxing and therapeutic to do some simple, mindless knitting - especially as the days are getting chilly and evenings longer. I love doing little squares to sew together.

This is it so far - given the sort of things I’ve been making, there aren’t many tasteful colours in my stash!

The in thing, Witzend. Rainbow colours are in fashion just now!
In fact I just ordered more

I downloaded a week by week crochet pattern for a blanket which looks like a stash-buster but it all seems like Double Dutch to me.
I may have to stick with granny blankets or plain knitting.

What a good idea Witzend, it is looking good.
I too have an enormous stash of wools that is taking up too much space. .
It is mainly DK, so I may dust off the knitting machine and give it a whirl. Normally I make toys and dolls clothes, because they are quick, but the thought of all those stitches on a needle for a blanket is overwhelming!
I hope the machine still works, it's been ages since it was last used!

I like that and the idea to use up spare wool is always welcome.
I’m sure your GCs will be delighted with their blanket.

I have been using up my spare stash knitting triangular shawls.
Start with 4 sts. and increase either end and centre until desired size. Mindless knitting whilst watching TV for me too. ?.

I have changed over to circular needles recently Witzend. They make knitting wider projects much easier, no bunching up of stitches on a straight needle.

If you look on Youtube there is an amazing was of joining two balls of wool that leaves no loose ends. It would be perfect for your blanket.
I can not describe it - you need to see it demonstrated but I never do it any other way now!
I hope this is helpful?

Or 4 rectangles, Illte - not sure yet.

Ah! Read your title properly! Sorry.
Still fancy it as a scarf.

That looks lovely (although I've no idea what a buster blanket is).
It would make a fabulous scarf.

I like it!

So will it be four big squares when it's finished?
