Using just a tiny bit of sock weight yarn, these sachets are the perfect way to use up leftover yarn and protect your stash. Fill with lavender or cedar chips to ward off moths. You’ll love making these sachets, whether they end up in your sock drawer, with your handknit sweaters, or…back in your stash!

Yarn:
Sock weight yarn in contrasting colors:
Color A: About 40 yards
Color B: About 30 yards

Gauge:
29 stitches and 36 rows = 4” worked in pattern
Measurement taken from relaxed fabric after steam-blocking.

A note on gauge:
Gauge is not essential to this project, but if you’re going to fill your sachet with lavender or cedar chips, you don’t want the gauge to be too loose.
