I decided that the reason I could not seem to get rid of all of my scraps and bits of yarn and fabric was because I was leaving them in the bins too long and they were breeding…
So, to stop the over population of scrap sock yarn, I decided I would make some scrappy mitts and scrappy socks…it is my duty to control this population growth!
It is a very simple pattern that I found on the Cascade Yarns website…a no brainer pattern that could be done while watching TV…unfortunately, I had about three tiny balls left and now, it seems there is enough to do another pair or two…it is a losing battle…
These are simply scraptastic. I love the striping. I love that they’re definitely a pair but are not matchy-matchy at all.

Thanks! I alternated five different leftovers of sock yarn that were already made to stripe, which was nice because it meant less ends to tie off…seems no matter what I do, I always end up with about a small tangerine size amount of every sock pair I make!
I dress pretty colorful, so they will go with just about everything I own…lol
These both look great and are a great use of materials! I really like how they’re obviously a pair, but not identical. Like fraternal twins!

ha ha That is a good way to put it! I did not have enough of any one colorway to even try to match them up perfectly…I love socks that are done this way, so I thought it would work as mitts as well…
Ha! I love your title and these are lovely, I love the colours and they are properly long.

thank you…I already have another pair on needles…must knit before the breeding cycle starts again…I have to figure out a way to use these up without buying new yarns…I am thinking of having a small stash of black or grey and doing a sort of stain glassed look…I need more hands as well…
