One skein crochet projects are the best! Sometimes we find a lonely skein in our yarn stash and aren’t quite sure what to make with it. Often it gets buried and forgotten because it doesn’t seem like enough yarn to complete a full project. I’ve compiled a list of 16 crochet patterns that only take one skein to help you out with some ideas.
Find all the creative inspiration below…
Thank you to all the designers who gave permission allowing me to include their designs in my round up! If you crochet any of these projects, don’t forget to tag the designers on social media to show off your beautiful work.
