Description

If you're like most knitters, you have lonely skeins of yarn in your closet casualties of projects discarded mid-row or leftovers from long-completed pieces. Offering 101 charming designs that use just a single skein of yarn, Judith Durant shows you how to turn these extra bits of fibre into stylish hats, mittens, scarves, and tea cosies. Covering a wide range of tastes and styles, this collection will inspire you to dig out your orphan yarn and get stitching.
