One skein, 52 possibilities!
52 Weeks of One-Skein Knits — the ninth volume in Laine Publishing’s hugely popular 52 Weeks series — celebrates the joy and versatility of a single skein of yarn. The book’s 51 knitting patterns and one crochet design come from talented designers around the world, and each project uses no more than 100 grams of yarn. The collection includes hats, socks, shawls, cowls, collars, hoods, headbands, mitts and mittens, worked in techniques ranging from lace and cables to ribbing and textured stitches. There are plenty of approachable projects for beginners, too.
Small projects are satisfying to make and easy to carry wherever you go. They are perfect for making the most of your yarn stash — or for treating yourself to that special skein you have been dreaming of.
