10 Free one skein patterns!


10 free one skein patterns

This is a post dedicated to a very common question I get asked a lot...What exactly can I make with one skein? Turns out, a lot! Here are 10 free one skein knitting and crochet patterns that caught my eye, and the best part is, they are all free! I have no issues paying for patterns (and trust me, you get what you pay for), but sometimes free is fabulous isn't it?!


For my knotty knitters:


1. Spiral Fingerless Mittens by Ruthann Flor from Four Hearts Designs - These beauties are knit with 130 - 140 yards of 100% super wash Merino DK. Here are some DK yarns that are sure to inspire you to cast on!

2. Darkside Cowl by Sarah Fama - I love the stitch detail on this cowl. To knit it up, all you need is one skein of Aran weight Merino, but our heavy worsted would also work very nicely!

3. Wildflower Field Socks by Marie-Elyse Dugal - These socks are near and dear to my heart because I worked with the talented designer on some of the design details of this gorgeous sock pattern. This pattern was also designed with our Wildflowers Sock Set in mind (and you can choose your own mini skein too), but any Merino nylon fingering will do. If you'd like to join our Sock Ravelution Knit-Along for the month of June, you have a chance of winning some yarny prizes when you submit your works in progress (WIPs) or finished objects (FOs).

4. Mustard Scarf by Jane Richmond Designs - I have a soft spot for this colour, although this scarf doesn't need to be knit just in mustard. Work up this lacy accessory with a skein of our generous 200g worsted Merino.

5. Stellar Hat by STASH Lounge - I know summer is just ramping up but the cold weather will be upon us again before we know it. Get a head start and look cute sporting this textured tuque next season! This pattern is knit with bulky wool, and our bulky 100% fine super wash Merino would lend itself perfectly to this project. Check out our selection here!

For my happy hookers:


1. Warm Heart Scarf or Cowl by Lynda Rennick of Homelea Lass - I love a piece that pulls double duty, and this scarf is no exception. Wear this cozy crochet as a scarf or a cowl, and hook it up with 55-66 yards of super bulky yarn. Our 76 yard skeins of super bulky merino nylon are super squishy and ideal for this type of project.

2. BPAL Felted Bottle Case by Maid Mirawyn of Mirawyn Crafts - Anyone who is into felting and little pouches will love this quick crochet pattern. The tiny bag requires only 30 yards of super bulky yarn so you can make multiple pouches with one skein, or a great way to use of leftovers!

3. Simple Twisted Earwarmer by Rebecca Langford of Yarn + Chai - Ear warmers are great because they are not only functional but they make a great fashion accessory too. Work this twisted and ribbed design in an array of colours. You can make two with one skein of our 100% DK super wash Merino. Makes a great gift for you or someone you love!

4. Grid Slouch by Ashlea Konecny from Heart Hook Home - Slouchy hats are always popular, and I love this crocheted beanie pattern. Pick your favourite Aran or heavy worsted here and make one for your favourite teen this winter!

5. Lansdowne Basket by Sincerely Pam - My favourite thing about crochet is the ability to make beautiful yet functional house hold items, like this basket by Sincerely Pam. You could honestly make this with any yarn weight from worsted to super bulky and in an array of sizes. Use them as planters, decorative centrepieces, or a catch all for keys and such!
