Bust That Stash! With 6 FREE One-Skein Crochet Scarf Patterns

Free One-Skein Crochet Scarf patterns

Once you discover the pleasure of crochet, the temptation to buy yarn usually follows very close behind. We are all guilty of going to a yarn store or show and bringing home a skein of yarn without a clue what it might turn into.

Using up those yarns can be tricky, as many projects require more than just one skein. Luckily, scarves often uses very close to a complete skein, they’re quick and relaxing to make and they’re useful! After you pick out your pattern, get more info on crocheting scarves here.

Here are eight of the best one-skein crochet scarf patterns.

1. Cloudy Skies Scarf

A scarf that’s easy to wear yet uses less than 300 yards of DK yarn? It’s true! This is also a perfect crochet project for someone just starting out as it uses only three basic stitches worked in rows: the sc, the hdc and the dc. Any DK yarn can be used and gauge is not that important — you could create something stunning using a variegated or pattern yarn just as the designer has done.

    <strong>Was looking for Jessie at home "one hour spiral scarf" free crochet pattern, which her page said I could find here, but I could not see it. If possible, could you send me the download link for that particular scarf? I would love to make one (or six) of these boa-like scarves. They are so cute! Thank you for any help you can give me in obtaining this pattern.
