Turn your favourite one-of-a-kind yarns into wearable works of art with this inspiring knitting collection.
Every knitter has a skein or two of beautiful yarn they couldn’t resist buying — a hand-dyed treasure picked up while traveling, at a yarn event, or from a local yarn store. These ‘souvenir skeins’ are often too special to use without the perfect pattern… until now.
One Skein Knitting is a curated collection of 18 stylish accessories designed to showcase the beauty of single skeins. From soft socks and stylish shawls to scarves and cowls, each project maximizes the potential of that precious yarn.
Created by celebrated designer Ksenia Naidyon (@life_is_cozy), this book offers creative patterns that use a range of yarn weights and fibers. The patterns are ideal for gift knitting, stash busting, or simply treating yourself. With clear instructions and a thoughtful mix of techniques, it’s the ultimate answer to the question, “What can I make with just one skein?”
+ Features accessible yet stunning patterns for accessories across yarn weights
+ Projects include socks, shawls, mittens, scarves, and more
+ Ideal for knitters looking for portable, quick, and rewarding projects
Make something meaningful from that beautiful skein today!
