Instructions

  1. Take your gold sparkle foam paper and cut out a unicorn horn. I suggest cutting the horn on the larger side. That way if you do need to resize, all you need to do is trim rather than cut a brand new horn.

  1. Time for those ears. Grab your white foam paper and cut two ears.

  1. Then take your pink foam paper and cut the middle section of the ears.

  1. Once you have white and pink ear sections, glue them together to make the perfect unicorn ear!

  1. Grab your super glue and flowers. Glue the flowers on the rim of the basket.

  1. Next, glue your horn onto the basket followed by the ears.

  1. It’s time to draw on those eyes! Take your sharpie and first practice on a blank piece of paper to perfect your technique. Once you have your technique mastered, draw on those eyes and eyelashes. Sharpies are permanent so make sure you’re ready. You only get one shot!

  1. Now you are ready to fill your basket with the party goodies

An Easy Scarf to Use Up All Your Scraps

If you’ve been around here long, you know that I’m in a perpetual battle with my stash. I feel like I haven’t bought yarn in years unless I needed it for a specific project. I knit fairly a lot, and crochet some, too, but it feels like my stash never gets any smaller.

It’s not just the unused balls of yarn that are a problem. In fact, maybe a bigger issue is all the odd balls and leftover bits that seem to pile up without any effort. Even though I love scrappy projects (and knit a whole sweater dress with scraps earlier this year) it still feels like a never-ending quest to use up all the little bits.

So I’m always on the lookout for good patterns that are made to use of the extra bits of yarn. If they are super easy, too, that’s so much the better.

So it is with the Lalu Scarf by Sheena Stone. This any yarn, any gauge pattern is designed to use up whatever scraps you have on hand (assuming they’re mostly the same weight or can be held double to make the same weight). 

It’s a tube scarf worked in the round, and she specifically notes that she works it outside in, so the back of the scarf is on the outside as you knit. The needle tips are on the part of the circle farthest away from you as you knit.

It also has an attached I-cord edging, which sounds really time consuming but does give the edges a nice, finished look.

The way the colors are changed as you knit you don’t really need a lot of each color. It would probably be good if you had at least enough of a color to complete one round, but you can change colors more often than every round if you need to because you’re using all your tiny bits.
