30 Clever One-Skein Patterns
Our very own Liz Daly knit the sample for the Mesh Stitch Scarf. It takes one skein of fingering weight yarn and US6 needles. "It's a good pattern!"
Clear your yarn stash by knitting these ultra-fast, heirloom-quality patterns using only one skein! Marie Greene, knitwear designer extraordinaire and bestselling author, is sharing her best-kept secrets for small scale designs. Maybe it was a limited-edition colorway from an indie dyer, a gorgeously textured yarn you discovered at a market, or a killer deal you couldn’t pass up―every knitter ends up with a hodge podge of special single skeins, but not many knitting patterns online are designed for such little yarn. Marie Greene has the solution. Single-skein patterns featuring lighter-weight yarns are particularly coveted, so of course Marie has a full chapter devoted to them. What’s even better is that single-skein patterns knit up super-fast, making them ideal for last-minute gifts!
Choose from designs like the DK weight Double Moss Texting Mittens or sport weight Fisherman’s Rib Beanie to complete in a weekend! Use a treasured hand-dyed skein for the Simple Ribbed Socks or a Honeycomb Hat to keep you and your family warm and cozy―without getting stuck on the body or sleeves of a larger project. With Marie’s easy-to-follow, fan-favorite instruction and timeless design details, you won’t believe the possibilities that might unravel from only one ball of yarn!
