Don't pass this one over because you have seen similar titles that promise great projects from just one skein of yarn only to find out every project is made with one ginormous ball! Not only does author Ellen Gormley provide 15 inspiring projects that use normal sized skeins, but this volume is also filled with helpful hints, tips, tricks and tons of valuable information on how best to plan your projects. You'll be thrilled with the outcome!

In the upfront section, you'll find advice on how to choose a pattern or how to design your own one-skein project, estimate yardage, and learn how to make the best use of Ellen's ingenious strategies to maximize every last yard of your single skeins. Clever ideas such as integrating edges while stitching, working two halves at the same time, and choosing the right stitches to get the maximum size from limited yardage are among the 10 scrappy strategies covered.

Ellen applies her ingenious strategies to the projects included in the second half, giving you the opportunity to see how each project is approached and how each new strategy can be applied to future projects. Start by crocheting the 15 fun and fashionable accessories including scarves, cowls, hats, and fingerless mitts, and you'll find yourself diving into your stash purposefully looking for single skeins of yarn!

One Skein Crochet is available online and in bookstores.
