Try some of these free one skein projects for crochet. This crochet patterns are usually quick and easy and only need one skein of yarn.
I like easy and quick patterns that don’t need a lot of yarn. These patterns are great for the yarn you had to have but don’t have a project for.
When you are looking for patterns that only need one skein, you want to look for solid or multicolored yarn patterns. Hats, ear warmers, coasters, dishcloths, scarves and more are great ideas.
The size of the skein of yarn will also increase the kinds of patterns you can do with just one skein of yarn. Bonus and yarn that comes in large skeins is more likely to have enough to finish your project.
