Single Skein Wonders: Quick & Easy One-Skein Crochet Projects (2024)

Are you in need of a beanie for the upcoming chilly weather?

Make one in less than two hours (yes, two) with this wrapped arrow beanie from Raffamusa Designs. Make it in one solid color or alternate for a two or three-toned beanie.

You can use any medium-weight yarn for this project; it only requires seaming at the top when the beanie is done.

You can find the pattern for free on Raffamusa Designs’ website.

This colorful cowl is done with one skein of fingering weight yarn, giving it a beautiful, delicate texture. This is great for a springtime accessory if you need a little something to fight off the chill.

I absolutely love anything with buttons on it. For some reason, it automatically becomes cozier. This ribbed cowl is a rectangle wrapped around and closed with a button.

It couldn’t be cozier! And it only uses one skein of Lion Brand Mandala yarn.

Need a lovey for your baby or the baby of someone you love? Make it even better by making it with your own two hands with this lace bear blanket.

It uses one skein of Schachenmayr Catania Solids yarn and is so super soft. This would make a great market craft because someone always needs a baby gift!

Having a case for a laptop is an important part of keeping it safe, but wouldn’t it be even better if you could make one instead of having to buy one?

Crocheting a laptop case, or any device sleeve, really, is super easy and customizable, and you can choose whatever texture you want.

This case uses the half-double crochet, a classic and sturdy stitch that gives your case texture without being flimsy.

Get your favorite Starbucks cup and make a nice accessory for it with this Sunshine coffee cup cozy.

It’s taller for the taller coffee cups and has a base, so it’s less likely to slip out of your hand. It uses one skein of cotton yarn and the Herringbone Half stitch (one of my favs.)

What outfit doesn’t need a little scarf to go with it?

This little boho scarf is made with one skein of Red Heart Roll with It yarn, and the pattern is perfect for beginners. If you’re starting to crochet and want an easy but functional project to start, try this scarf!

Think you can’t make a blanket with one skein of yarn? Think again.

This baby blanket uses only one skein of Caron One Pound yarn. They have plenty of colors, but this pink one is perfect for the newest little one in your family.

I love the stitch pattern of this Ace of Swords infinity scarf.

It’s made with a beautiful puffy stitch that provides warmth and texture, and it can be made with whatever colorway of Lion Brand Mandala yarn you wish.

My favorite is Centaur, a muted rainbow colorway that goes with many outfits.

This has to be the easiest project on this list.

Faux fur is so easy to crochet with since it’s bulky, and you don’t have to worry about gauge too much since it’s a scarf.

It’s a simple one-row repeat you can make while sitting and watching your favorite show. You’ll start and finish on the same day and have a warm, fluffy scarf for your next fall outing.

I collect hats, scarves, and anything cozy, but my favorite thing is berets.

Felt or crochet, thin or chunky, I love them all and will wear them all. But there’s something special about this Fleur De Lys crochet beret that makes me want to wear it in Paris at Christmas.

It’s thick yarn, so you can make it super fast, and of course, it’ll make your head super warm.

I can see this “hello” cozy hat on the cover of a Christmas card right now.

From the slouchy, cozy look to the gorgeously scripted “hello” on the brim, this hat is adorable for the whole family during the wintertime.

It’s even finished off with a pom pom because, of course. Best of all, you only need one Red Heart With Love yarn skein to make this hat happen.

Wrist warmers have many different functions. They’re an accessory as well as a practical and cute solution for cold hands.

Keep your reading essentials in one spot with this crochet granny square glasses case and bookmark.

The bookmark is made of three small granny squares (so adorable), and the glasses case is made of 12 granny squares, six on each side, sewn together.

I am 100% making these as my weekend project because I like to read before bed without my contacts in, and the combo of the glasses case and bookmark is perfect.
