Seaside Stash Knits

Here are some ideas for Summer Stashbusting:



From L to R --

1. Stashbuster Kid's Poncho Beach Cover-up - 2 balls of Sugar and Cream, using a simple openwork (YO, K2tog) pattern. This is a long-ago knit project, so sorry that I do not have more specifics, and you can clearly see where I misaligned the stitches. I was a new knitter; give me a break!

2. Stashbuster Fixation Schmatte -- with that last little bit of Fixation left over after knitting kid socks and baby socks, I knit this little kerchief, which is a triangle with an applied-i-cord for the tie.

3. Stashbuster Beach Tote -- one ball of Sugar and Cream with the teeniest bit of a second ball to bind off the handles. Pattern here. Super stretchy and fits all the essentials.

Have a good week, y'all!

great ideas, especially the tote. But I don't have any sugar and cream yarn! And since I vowed not to buy any yarn, I'll have to go stash diving to see if anything else will do. I could use a tote like that.

Certainly any cotton, linen or hemp yarn would do just fine.

Love the tote. Might just have to do that one! I have some cotton in my stash. Thanks for the ideas.

Nice pic! Hope lots of seaside fun was included. I have to day ... I still love the kid's poncho. Might make another since ours was a favorite here.
