Not so much a pattern as recipes and ideas included in an article containing guidance on combining different colours, textures and weights, to use up odd yarns in your stash.

Use up those odd balls of yarn that you can’t bring yourself to throw out because they might be useful, but are taking up valuable space. Combine out-of-fashion fashion yarns, unlikely colours, fibres you don’t like the feel of, or leftover oddments to make multi-stranded yarns with an entirely new look and feel.

Lighter weight multi-strand yarns are possible if you prefer, but it’s simple to construct bulky, super bulky, or just plain enormously thick multi-strand yarns that will knit very quickly. Perfect if you’re stuck for last minute gifts - the only limit is the size of needle you have available!
