One-skein projects: If you have one skein of yarn, you’ll find a suitable pattern here—also great for sock yarn

Dear users, dear authors,
in this thread you’ll find ideas for one-skein projects. Also great for 1 skein of sock yarn. Have fun with them.

@Authors,
all projects featured here should be possible to make with one skein of yarn / sock yarn. 2–3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget links, pictures, info, etc. 

For the crochet sweater shown, I used one 250-gram cake (4-ply, 50% cotton, 50% acrylic).
Beginners with basic knowledge can crochet this model.
Thanks to the top-down raglan construction, the size can be adjusted.

I knitted this shawl with one skein. However, it had a yardage of 840 m. The shawl is knitted from the bottom up, and you should be familiar with knit and purl stitches, as well as yarn overs and knitting stitches together. 



A 50-gram skein with a yardage of 120 m is enough for these children’s hats with the fun points. 
This pattern can be made in 3 sizes (0–24 months). 



If you have Patons cotton yarn in your stash (210 m per 100-gram skein), you can crochet this shopping net . The net is worked in spiral rounds, and the pattern repeats over 2 rounds. 

For even less yarn, you can make these projects

This cute music box lamb can be crocheted from one skein of plush yarn. It is not hard to make, because only single crochet stitches are used. In the pattern, you’ll get lots of tips for crocheting with plush yarn, so you can give it a try too. This yarn makes the lamb incredibly soft and cuddly!




You’ll need one 100 g skein of potholder yarn to crochet this heart pillow. It will be about 20 x 20 cm in size. It is intended as a pillow cover for a grain pillow, but of course you can also use it as a small decorative or neck pillow.




You’ll also manage with 100 g of cotton yarn (yardage approx. 65 m / 50 g) if you want to crochet the cute cotton pad dispenser Bunny Wolli . He is filled with cotton balls through a zipper at the neck, which are then pulled off through his backside. Then Wolli grows a new little tail again and again.
