5 One skein stash busting knitting patterns

Five one-skein knitting patterns for orphaned stash yarn, from a Purl Soho cowl and a slip stitch headband to garter stitch mitts and slipper socks.

A loosely twisted hank of cream wool yarn on a white background.

Organizing your stash also means find projects for those one or two orphaned skeins you have lying around.

Luckliy there are tons of great projects that use less than a skein of yarn.

Here’s a few patterns to get some of that yarn on your needles soon.
