After the extravagance of Christmas, January is time for cutbacks and trying to save money. But don’t worry – just because you’re not buying more yarn doesn’t mean you have to stop knitting! Have a look at our 9 free stash-busting projects, perfect to keep you going until the month is out.

1) Teeny tiny baby bunnies

Too cute for words. (Free pattern available on Mochimochi Land)

Not only will it use up those scraps of yarn, but it will keep all your pins and needles safe, too. (Get the free pattern from Kris Knits)

For that beloved feline in your life! (Head over to Coffee and Cream on Ravelry for the free pattern)
