A knitting master knows for sure that no matter how you calculate the loops, in any case you end up with a small amount of yarn left over. You simply cannot throw them away, and they grow in the master’s baskets. Gradually there are so many of them that they no longer fit into the basket for storing their yarn. But wonderful things can come out of leftovers. Many knit large blankets or sweaters, hats and even scarves from them.
What can you knit with knitting needles from leftover yarn?
Some of the coolest ideas for using up leftover threads.

Brush for computer (laptop)
A wonderful product that will easily help remove dust from your computer or laptop keyboard. And any devices with a small keyboard. Beginners and masters alike will be happy to make such an interesting craft. For the doll you will need to work with a hook. Therefore, let’s look at lighter options for brushes with beautiful blue handles (diagrams).
To work you will need:
- remnants of any threads;
- scissors;
- satin ribbon;
- pen.
Measurements
You will need to measure the length of the handle and tie a circle of yarn two times the same length.
Threads
Prepare many threads of the same length. Thread the threads through the ring and secure in small bunches.
Then tie a double thread around the resulting tassel.Attach the handle to the product and decorate.
Decoration
It is better to use a small piece of satin ribbon as decoration. Pull two threads along the stitching line and tie into a cute little bow.
Important! You shouldn’t skimp on the threads for such a brush; the fluffier it is, the nicer it will look and the better it will do its job.
This is such a wonderful brush for a computer or laptop keyboard.
Case for phone
A very useful phone case. Moreover, if the threads in power were not so long.
To work you will need:
- remnants of threads, preferably of the same thickness;
- knitting needles according to thread size;
- beads for decoration.
Measurements
Take two measurements from your phone model. These are the standard dimensions: height.
Width.
Sample
Some people think it’s stupid to knit a pattern for something that doesn’t exceed the size of its pattern. In fact, here it is necessary not only to evaluate the beauty of the pattern, but also to correctly determine the size. Knitted a piece using stockinette stitch. We calculated how many loops there are in 10 cm and how many rows there are. It's better to record your measurements. Correlate the loops and the knitting density, and calculate how many sets are required for circular knitting based on two width indicators.
Case
Cast on the required width and knit in circular rows until the required length is obtained. Change the threads at your discretion. It is very important to knit with even stitches and without increases or decreases. After obtaining the required length, close the loops in pairs to create a very beautiful seam. To do this, take one loop each from the right and left knitting needles and simply knit them together. Pull the thread tighter to make the loops tighter.
Strap
The strap is made using the macrame technique. Bracelets are often woven using this technique.You should start from one edge in the center. Place the threads there, folding them in half and hooking them to the second row.
Collect beads along the edges of the loose loops and make good knots.
Knitted hat made from leftover yarn
A charming product can be made from the smallest remnants, the shortest threads, and it will only be brighter for this. This type of hat is complemented by a pompom and an elastic band, but they must be strictly the same color. This will create the perfect composition.
To work you will need:
- leftover yarn;
- knitting needles according to the thickness of the thread and a hook.
Measurements
Pre-measure the head circumference and depth for the hat. Depth is measured from the earlobe through the crown to the earlobe. Next, divide the depth indicator by 2 and add 4 cm according to the current model.
Sample
Knit a small section using the stockinette stitch pattern and use it to determine the tightness of the knitting. How many elements are contained horizontally and vertically in 10 cm? Then transfer the measurements into loops and you can start knitting. A small proportion helps convert measurements into stitches. For the unknown, you should immediately take a set of loops for the initial row. Knitting occurs in circles.
The basis
First you need to knit the base of the product with multi-colored threads, and then make a pompom and an elastic band (the elastic band is done using a hook and a single crochet fabric). It is easier to knit with circular knitting needles of the corresponding number. Knit half the length of the cap depth measurement and start decreasing for the crown. Decrease 4 stitches in every 3rd row. It is better to reduce it at different points so that it remains unnoticeable.
After obtaining the required length, you should cut the thread to a length of 20 cm. Pull the resulting thread through all the loops one by one and simply tighten. Tie tightly and the base is ready.
Rubber
For the elastic, use a hook of the corresponding number. You need to knit along the edge, on one side, clinging to the base of the cap. Make the elastic about 4 cm wide. Knit in straight and reverse rows. Knit like this all around the circle. In the last row, make a neat connection with the first row of such an elastic band.
Pompon
Make a pompom in the same color as the elastic band of the hat. To make it more fluffy, it is better to use a disk made of thick paper. You can make it smoother if, after removing it from the disk, you carefully trim the finished ball with scissors.
Assembly
Sew a pompom to the top of your head and you're ready for a beautiful new thing.
It’s hard to imagine what would happen if the leftovers were simply thrown away. The masters would not have received so many beautiful things. Therefore, we are inspired by ready-made works and try to create something ourselves from our leftovers.
