Is there anything as gratifying as finishing a knit or crochet project in an afternoon or two?? I don’t know about you, but I don’t have the patience to knit an entire sweater. I do, however, have the patience for a quick one skein pattern for knit or crochet. My favorite knitting projects are quick fingerless gloves or a cute hat.
So, I went in search of some knitting or crochet patterns that only require about one skein of yarn. One skein of yarn can pretty much be stitched up in an evening or two which makes these projects great gift ideas also. Who wouldn’t love to receive a lovely hand knit scarf for Christmas?
Included in this fun roundup are several hat patterns, cowls, gloves … even a basket and flowery face scrubbies! Thank you to all the lovely ladies that created these patterns for allowing me to share them.
Enjoy!
