One skein, 52 possibilities!
52 Weeks of One-Skein Knits — the ninth volume in Laine Publishing’s hugely popular 52 Weeks series — celebrates the joy and versatility of a single skein of yarn. The book’s 51 knitting patterns and one crochet design come from talented designers around the world, and each project uses no more than 100 grams of yarn. The collection includes hats, socks, shawls, cowls, collars, hoods, headbands, mitts and mittens, worked in techniques ranging from lace and cables to ribbing and textured stitches. There are plenty of approachable projects for beginners, too.
Small projects are satisfying to make and easy to carry wherever you go. They are perfect for making the most of your yarn stash — or for treating yourself to that special skein you have been dreaming of.
The patterns are created by the following designers: Ashley Adams, Saara Autere, Maria Bach Jensen, Ronja Beckmann, Rachel Brockman, Kitti Dragonoff, Agnieszka Dzikiewicz-Krawczyk, Jaana Etula, Georgia Farrell, Joanna Filip, Alessandra Gropazzi, Anna Hechtman, Vilma Holm, Nina Holubcova, Emilia Jensen, Yun Jeong, Anniina Juuti, Henna Ketonen, Milena Krzemińska, Géraldine Lavaud, Sarianna Lehtonen, Justyna Lorkowska, Linda Lötberg, Sara Markkula, Laura McLean, Elina Männistö, Elizabeth Nicodemus, Imogen O’Brien, Sara Ottosson, Sanni Pauliina, Riikka Peltola, Gala Pillot, Iida Pirinen, Camille Romano, Inese Sang, Ástþrúður Sif Sveinsdóttir, Lis Smith, Elena Solier Jansà, Aleksandra Sołowianiuk, Hailey Stanton, Nina Suutari, Sonoko Tajima, Ayano Tanaka, Kimberley ter Heerdt, Lili Tobias, Audrey Trecasse, Maaike van Geijn, Imke von Nathusius, Maria-Ève Wedge, Julia Wilkens.

Whether you want a quick winter project or are buying this for a gift, the hand dyed yarn will elevate a very simple chunky knit hat into something truly unique. Suitable for beginners who can knit, purl and decrease.
The Merino yarn is so soft and squishy and will keep you very cosy. The yarn has been hand dyed by myself with professional acid dyes.
My yarns are always meticulously rinsed until the water runs clear but some dye may bleed as with all hand dyed items.
Spot cleaning or a very mild handwash recommended. Dry flat.
