Stash To Sparkle Crochet – 8 Free Crochet Patterns
In November 2025, Knit Crochet Create and Annie Design Crochet ran the first Stash to Sparkle crochet blog hop. It was a four-week festive crochet event to help you turn yarn stash oddments into gorgeous gifts and stylish decorations. All 8 patterns are still free on our blogs, so you can make them any time.
Quick Look: Stash To Sparkle Crochet Blog Hop 2025
- What's included: 8 free festive crochet patterns.
- Yarn needed: Stash leftovers. Yarn weight isn't critical for most projects, so you can use up those festive leftovers.

Why We Started The Stash To Sparkle Blog Hop
We both love the challenge of using up our yarn stash — and we wanted to design something fun, creative, and achievable before the busy festive season.
Stash to Sparkle is:
- A stash-busting challenge – use what you already have, along with our free patterns.
- A creative outlet – play with colour and texture.
- A cost-free event – because all patterns are free.
- A community crochet along – share your progress on socials, using the hashtag #StashToSparkle
All patterns are free on our blogs, so you can just grab your yarn and crochet along. Everyone is welcome to join and crochet along at their own pace.
Stash to Sparkle Crochet - The Colour Palettes
To help you choose colours, we have created 4 beautiful colour palettes, and had great fun pulling these together. You'll see that some colours run throughout, like the various greens and reds, but each colour palette has its own bespoke feel.
