Summer Stash Bash 2025!

Our first Summer Stash Bash has come to an end! I hope you were able to find new inspiration, dwindle down your stash, and that you made room for MORE YARN! Hehe. 8 weeks of (almost) not buying new yarn, trying out different patterns, and cheering one another on– WE DID IT!

Here are all of the beginner-friendly stash busting patterns we took a look at each week. Let us know which one was your favorite!

Week 1 – Sunrise Coasters by TLYarn Crafts

These Coasters are super quick to crochet and perfect for using up a nice chunk of yarn! You can keep them for yourself, or make a few for a gift!
