Estimating Yarn Usage: How Far Can You Get with 50 g of Yarn?

Dear community,
what can you make with 50 g of yarn if you only have this one skein and maybe a few small leftovers in several colors?

50 Gramm Wolle kann verschiedene Lauflänge haben. Je mehr Lauflänge (dünnere Wolle) reicht natürlich viel weiter als Wolle mit kurzer Lauflänge. 

Wenn wir ein Garn mit 120 - 160 m Lauflänge auf 50 Gramm nehmen, hat man viele Möglichkeiten.

That’s a question that can’t be answered in general terms.
As Petra already mentioned, you can go quite a long way with a thin yarn and make smaller pieces.
Dishcloths:

Crocheted hearts:

With a thick yarn, you’ll get much less out of it.
The labels often specify how many skeins you need, for example, for a sweater in a certain size.
Based on that, you can also estimate how much you’ll need for smaller pieces, such as a sleeve, etc. 😉
You should also consider yarn usage for different patterns and techniques (crochet or knitting, for example). 

I bought this hat for my mom last March when her hair fell out after chemo. Exactly 50 g. P.S.: Her hair is back 😊 

Of course, I bought the wool and knitted the hat. (Auto-correct 🤨)

There are special books for crocheting with one ball and knitting with one ball
 

A size 3 cotton skein is about 150 m long—that’s perfect for crocheting a 27 cm x 27 cm dishcloth, and you can use the leftover yarn to add colorful stripes.

It’s also great for crocheting a small cell phone pouch, and you can use the colorful yarn to crochet little hearts and flowers for decoration.

Otherwise, I can also think of a small mesh bag for your bikini when you head to the beach.

The question is a bit old, but I’d like to chime in too: With one ball of sock yarn, for example, you can knit children’s socks.
