I have been trying to knit and crochet through my stash this summer and that includes using up some of those little balls of scraps I have tucked away in baskets. This weekend I made a couple of quick and nifty little pin cushions after I saw a how-to post over on Craft Leftovers. I made a little one for my pins, needles, and little scissors then I whipped another out from my super bulky stash to hold my crochet hooks.

This is a super easy project that doesn’t even require any stuffing and is all garter stitch! You just knit a straight strip then sew the ends together, fold them over lengthwise, then stack them inside each other like little nesting dolls!

I got both of them finished in half a day and they would make great little gifts too!
