Sock Yarn One-Skein Wonders

A veteran knitter presents patterns for projects that can be created using a single skein of sock yarn, including such items as baby clothes, scarves, hats, jewelry, bags, a dog sweater, and a lampshade.

Fortunately, sock yarn can be used for more than simply keeping toes toasty.

In Sock Yarn One-Skien Wonders: 101 Patterns That Go Way Beyond Socks! veteran knitter Judith Durant has chosen not simply inventive sock patterns but also more than 5 dozen inspired patterns for other items that can be created from a single skein of sock yarn.

The latest in Storey's enormously popular One-Skein Wonders series, Sock Yarn One-Skien Wonders offers one-of-a-kind patterns for baby clothes, mittens, scarves, hats, jewellery, cosies, bags...even a dog sweater and a lamp shade!

Contributed by yarn shops and designers, the patterns are as fetching as they are fun to knit.

Knitters of every skill level will find tantalizing challenges; some knit up in fewer than three hours, others make creative use of sock yarn leftovers, and several make heirloom-worthy gifts.

Collectively, these patterns bring out the best of sock yarn... whether variegated or solid-coloured, self-patterning or hand-painted.

Sock Yarn One-Skien Wonders has an easy-to-browse layout, four-color photos throughout, step-by-step instructions, clear illustrations and charts, and stylish patterns. With this book in their knitting bags, needle crafters will take their stash of sock yarn well beyond stockinged feet to a delightful world of possibility.
