Introducing Scrap Heap—a stylish and slouchy beanie designed specifically for all those leftover yarn bits! This innovative pattern allows you to knit seamlessly in the round from the bottom up, ensuring that your leftover scraps are beautifully transformed into a cozy and functional accessory. Soon, you’ll see those scraps making their way off your shelves and onto a lucky head!

Scrap Heap is expertly graded for five distinct yarn weights, each with a recommended tension/gauge to accommodate various preferences: sport/5ply, dk/8ply, worsted/10ply, aran, and chunky/14ply. This versatility makes it easy for every knitter to find suitable yarn from their stash!

The pattern includes clear and concise instructions for creating jogless stripes in the round, giving your beanie a sleek, professional finish. Plus, we’ve included suggestions for weaving in a fun and creative striping sequence to bring your beanie to life.

For an extra touch of charm, we've incorporated charts for duplicate stitching two adorable monsters onto your beanie—these cute designs were crafted by my eight-year-old daughter, Lily, who adds a whimsical flair to each project!

The sample beanies were knitted using a variety of DK yarns, and we’ve included a list of suggested substitute yarns to guide your creativity. Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or just starting, Scrap Heap is the perfect project to put those leftover scraps to good use.
