Stash Busting Challenge: Week 1!

Are you ready for a challenge?! 

 

The lovely Janne of Joy of Motion and Hortense of Knitting with Chopsticks have put together a great way to use up all our stashes on fun and useful projects: The Stash Busting Challenge! We all have a stash of leftover bits and bobs of yarn that we hold on to; all those half-used skeins and trimmings just long enough to save but with no real idea behind. Well, now’s the time to make something out of it all!

 

 

The Stash Busting Challenge

 

 

 

 

How it Works

 

Designers will share a new set of patterns each week, and each of those patterns will be available as a free PDF to download. They’ll be available every Wednesday at midnight for one week only. You can sign up for reminders about the challenge down below so you don’t miss out on any patterns!

 

 

 

How to Download a Pattern

 

 

Click the images or titles of the patterns you want to go to the designer’s page. 

 

On that page, look for the free download button. It’ll take you to Ravelry or the designer’s website where you can grab the free PDF. We’re all using the same coupon code to make it easier: SBCHALLENGE

 

 

Share this with friends!

 

We’re so excited to host this challenge and have so many amazing designers join us. If this is an event you enjoy, help us share the event! There are buttons at the top and bottom of this page for sharing to Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest if you want to help us spread the word. 

 

Please share THIS PAGE, not the individual pattern pages. That way, everyone can see how to download patterns and all the designers get a chance to be seen. 

 

Now, let’s get into the patterns!
