Have a few gorgeous 100g skeins kicking around in your stash, but don't know what to make with them? Check our our favourite one skein (or one ball) knitting patterns on site! 

These one skein patterns are just what you need to bust your yarn stash into shape! With patterns from socks to accessories, we have the inspiration you need to cast on something new this week. 

Socks

This free children's sock knitting pattern uses a special ball of yarn specially spun and dyed to self-pattern a matching pair of socks for kids! This ball of yarn is 60g, exactly the amount you need for this pair! 

These textured socks use just one ball or skein of sock yarn! Pictured here in a stunning alpaca and merino wool blend sock yarn, you'll stay snuggly and warm all winter! Get the pattern here

Accessories 

Cowls, shawls, hats, and mitts: accessories are the nicest way to show someone you care, or to make yourself something that you'll love to wear. 

Featuring a gorgeous hand dyed sock yarn (Manos Alegria), this lacy, picot edged one skein shawl knits up quicker than you realise, with an interesting stitch pattern that blends twisted stitches and simple lace. Get the free pattern here.
