Looking for a quick and easy crochet shawl pattern? Look no further! I have gathered together some of my favorite one skein crochet shawls in this collection.
Most of the patterns will use a single skein of yarn (approx. 400m) or you could use your favourite gradient yarn cake (approx. 1000m) to make a larger shawl.
A one skein crochet project can be made fast so they are perfect for last minute gifts. Because you use only a single ball of yarn, only 2 ends to weave in when you are finished!
What can I make with One Skein of Yarn
We all have those single skeins of precious yarn in our stash. You may have chosen one to purchase at a yarn store or show and it is now sitting on a shelf.
With the variety of colors, textures, and stitch patterns available in this collection, there’s sure to be a crochet shawl that fits your style. Whether you’re looking for a cozy and warm shawl for winter or a lightweight option for spring and summer, a one skein crochet shawl is the perfect choice.
Yarn for a One Skein Crochet Shawl Pattern
You can use any type of yarn for a crochet shawl, but fingering weight yarn and gradient yarn cakes are two popular choices for one skein projects.
Fingering weight yarn typically comes in 400-meter skeins, while gradient yarn cakes can be anywhere from 800 to 1000 meters. When choosing yarn for a one skein shawl, it is important to match your crochet hook to the yarn’s recommended size.You can always check the ball band for this information.
