Create Beautiful Knits in a Weekend

Create timeless handknit accessories from only a single skein with this collection of modern patterns. Bestselling author and knitwear designer Marie Greene has just the project to use up every bit of that special yarn you've been saving. She'll also get you inspired to use up the odds and ends of your yarn stash with a wide variety of designs, such as:

- Scallop Lace & Bobble Shawl
- Honeycomb Hat
- Double Moss Texting Mitts
- Three-Button Cowl
- Grapevine Beanie
- Cozy Cabled Ear Warmer

Patterns are organized by yarn weight and include options for fingering weight, sport weight, and even DK and worsted weight yarns, which are often overlooked for single-skein projects. As always, Marie packs this book with smart tips about how to avoid running out of yarn before the pattern ends, yarn substitutions, and more valuable resources for creating classic pieces with modern features. These small-scale designs come together ultra-fast and are perfect for a weekend project or a last-minute gift. Whip out your needles and see how far one skein can go!
