1-Skein Projects: Get started now with 1 skein

Dear users, dear authors,
if you have a skein of yarn on hand, you’ll find suitable patterns here in this thread.

@Authors,
2-3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget links, images, info, etc. All patterns promoted here must be possible to make with 1 skein of yarn, must not have been promoted in the forum within the last 3 weeks, and must each have 10 sales and a CR of at least 2%. 

If you happen to have a ball of yarn left over, 
no matter what yarn weight, whether cotton, raffia, or even packing tape,
you can crochet pretty hearts from it. 
They’re lovely to look at and also make great gifts.

Dungarees like these for dolls (43–50 cm) are perfect to knit from a single skein. A few leftover yarn scraps for the edges will spice them up a bit. This will make a doll mom happy.

Another lovely project for a ball of sock yarn (50 g is enough) is this collar and scarf set, which is very easy to knit. A garment like this is practically indispensable for the cooler months.

From one maxi skein of acrylic yarn (400 g), you can crochet a beautiful rug with a diameter of 75 cm. The back is rubberized to make it non-slip. We crochet with 3 strands, so we make quick progress.

Maybe you’ll like this design better? Also a round rug that only needs 1 affordable 500 g maxi skein of acrylic yarn.

Oh, what a sleepy little lamb! It sings itself softly to sleep to the tune of a music box!
A 50 g skein of plush yarn (e.g., Phil douce by Phildar) is all you need to crochet this cute music-box lamb. Of course, you can also use another yarn of similar thickness, but plush yarn will definitely make it the coziest. To help you successfully crochet with this yarn—where the stitches are hard to see—I’ll share a few tips in the pattern.
If you use thinner yarn, you’ll end up with a smaller lamb, perfect for an Easter basket, for example.
Here you can see the size difference:
