One Skein Knitting Patterns: In The Loop Knitting

"The definition of a skein is yarn or thread that is lightly twisted into a coil, or a flock of wild birds flying. The coiled and twisted yarn that you buy to knit a scarf is an example of a skein. A flock of geese flying in v-formation is an example of a skein.



This book features 30 diverse projects that can be completed with one or two average-sized skeins of yarn or multiple bits of leftover yarn. Projects include an earflap hat sized for the whole family; fingerless mitts; sweaters, britches, and capelets for baby; hemp jewelry embellished with jump ring “beads”; a felted, pleated sleeve to dress up a vase; and a multicolored blanket worked from assorted stash yarn. All of them are quick and relatively easy to make, without sacrificing beauty or ingenuity."
