I have used a few yarn cakes. A cheap way to get similar results is to gather up your scrap balls in your desired colorway. Figure out approximately how much of the total is represented by each color. Then cut your yarn accordingly. No need for accuracy. Long pieces for the predominant colors, medium lenghts for average representation, and shorter pieces for what you have lesst of. Russian knot them and make a ball. Voila. Yarn cakes from random leftovers. I have done this successfully so often that almost no leftovers are left!

I always "cake" all my yarn when I buy it. Whether it is a ball, skein, or hank for all the reasons you've stated here!

The pattern is a form of grit stitch. 1 single crochet followed by 1 double crochet and then on row 2 you do a double crochet in the single crochet and a single crochet in the double crochet.
