Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

There is no longer any excuse to point to a stash of unused yarn and say, “I don’t know what I’m going to do with these fibers.” Thanks to Durant, who pioneered the franchise of One-Skein Wonders, and her collaboration with Eckman (of The Crochet Answer Book, 2005, among many others), any needleworker can add another 100 possible projects to the ever-growing inventory of “gotta makes.” With classifications by yarn weight, which is an easy-to-use differentiation, the seven chapters offer at least one item in every conceivable craft category, including jewelry, home decor, belts, women’s wear, doll clothes, men’s scarves, toys, and baby apparel. Directions are clear and accessible, rendered in written instructions and universal-symbol diagrams, and accompanied by color photographs. Should the crafter opt for the beady bangles or the hair scrunchies? The switchback or the gratitude scarf? How about Louis the Lobster or Niles the Crocodile? And so the “too little time, so many projects” excuse goes up in smoke. --Barbara Jacobs

Awesome book!

Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2013

Verified Purchase

If you're like me -- a crocheter and not a knitter -- you approach the needlecrafts section of the bookstore with a feeling of impending disappointment, and just a touch of envy. After all, there are many more knitting books than there are crochet books, and the crochet stock never seems to rotate frequently enough. One of the most glaring needs in the crochet book universe is for a book of patterns that only takes one skein of yarn to complete. There has been a veritable parade of choices for knitters in this vein, but scant pickings for crocheters.

Well, the waiting is over! Crochet One-Skein Wonders offers 101 great patterns for crocheters to use in using up those odd balls of yarn that tend to collect at the end of projects. Sorted by yarn weight -- a nice detail -- crocheters can choose from patterns ranging from standard fare (such as baby booties), to the lacy (several toothsomely airy scarves in varying yarn weights make their appearances) to the outright adorable (the alligator featured on the cover). I was pleasantly surprised to find that Tunisian and bead crochet were also featured in this book.

The patterns are sound, and varied enough to satisfy a wide range of crochet tastes. I would definitely recommend this book to my fellow crocheters.

Make sure to look at how much yarn is called for.

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2022

I bought this book as a Christmas gift for myself. I’ve flipped through it many times, and I’m currently making a shawl for my mother using a beautiful shell stitch pattern that is included inside this book. There are lots of projects to choose from, and plenty of great homemade gift ideas. I love that this book is organized by yarn weight. This makes finding a pattern to match leftover yarn so easy! All the patterns come with a visual representation as well as a written pattern, making it easy to follow along. This is a good book of patterns for intermediate crocheting. My only gripe about this book is that some of the skeins that are recommended seem unusually large, which defeats the purpose of buying this book. Still, as long as I make certain to look at how much yarn is recommended, I can pick and choose patterns accordingly. This is a great book for getting rid of a large yarn stash.

Amazing Book!!

This crochet book is huge!! I had no idea it would be so thick with so many different patterns of almost anything you can think of. Gloves, toys, dollies, pillows, scarves, baby dresses, hats with matching sweaters, and booties.
It's amazing!
Each pattern tells what type of yarn to use and size needles and extra supplies you may need. The back of the book has a picture glossary on how to do stitches and abbreviations guide.
I'm definitely getting all crochet books from this line. My family is going to love the things I make them with a simple hobby lol

A Great Book!

Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2016

Verified Purchase

There are several reviews that detail the structure and content of this book, so I'll keep this review to my thoughts on it. I am one of those people that can't sit through a 2-hour movie because I get bored or my mind can't keep on it all the way through. I am the same way with crochet projects. I find that big projects often don't get finished, and conversely, I get the most satisfaction from small projects. I also tend to find beautiful yarns but can only afford one skein.
When this book arrived I scanned it, then browsed through it. I'd say about 90 of the projects are things that I'd actually make and gift to someone (or myself). I've made the tunisian bag and everyone loves it. I'm on to my next project now.
If you have a yarn stash that is full of single skeins, this is the book for you. Projects for all yarn weights and composition and on trend projects. Winner.

One-Skein for Crochet; oh yeah!

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2015

Verified Purchase

I have all the One-Skein Wonders books, but this is the only one completely using Crochet. Like the other books, there are colored photos of each project. There are patterns for all different weights of yarn and most patterns also have a chart. The instructions are clear. I haven't made many patterns in the book yet, but so far I have found no errors.

This is a great way to use up your yarn stash! Most knitting or crochet books only have a few patterns and with 101 in this (and all the One-Skein Wonder books) there's plenty to choose from. It's a huge 286 page book and has an Appendix that explains all the different stitches and has abbreviations for them along with a symbol key for using charts and an Index so you can look up every project and every stitch.

I'm posting a photo of the Sea Breeze Shawlette (enlarged to show detail). :-)

Best Crochet Pattern Book!

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a great book, well worth it! I bought another crochet book on Amazon (The Complete Book of Crochet Stitch Designs: 500 Classic & Original Patterns), and it was about the same price, but that book was a disappointment. The only reason why I didn't return it was because it wasn't worth the shipping to send it back.

This book is great. It has a lot of easy patterns with colorful pictures and easy-to-follow directions. It uses American terms (UK double crochet is a single crochet in this book). I highly recommend this book. This was a design I did when I got the book, it took me about 1.5 hours to do (I didn't do the edging or the loop, but just a quick crochet to see how easy or hard the patterns and directions were).

"One skein" can be misleading, but overall good.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 26, 2014

Verified Purchase

This is a nice little book with a good range of projects. Also, although it isn't cheap, if you compare it to books with a fraction of the number of designs, it isn't bad value as long as you like enough of the projects.

There are only two real issues as far as I'm concerned, which dropped it down from five stars.

Firstly, "one skein" is based on a skein of 100g of yarn. Frequently skeins and balls of yarn are only 50g, so it's a little disappointing to realise that the pattern you thought would work so beautifully with a given yarn actually requires more than you have. Be forewarned, and don't expect to find something to use up every little ball in your stash. Some of them are adaptable, and there are lots of ideas. In general the suggested yarns are often a little pricey, but I haven't had too many problems with finding alternates. It isn't a big problem, but I feel like the undertone of "hey, you can use up all your leftover skeins" is a bit misleading.

The second disappointment is very much a your mileage may vary one, and that is how many of the projects are for babies or dolls. That's great if you have small children or children who play with dolls a lot, but if you don't, that writes off a lot of the projects from the get go.

Overall, though, there are some really nice ideas in here. My favourites are probably the amigurumi, which are well explained and really cute. I also like several of the scarf designs, and there's really quite a lot of variation in them. Everything from Tunisian to really simple stitch patterns, and a chunky cowl to light and pretty scarves that would even be suitable for a winter bride. IMO the lovely collection of scarves/cowls are probably the strong point of the book.

All the patterns are given in US terms, unsurprisingly since it's an American publishing house, but the stitches are the same even when the names are different, and it's not hard to find a conversion chart. I'm still not a very advanced crocheter, but I've found once you understand the relation between the two systems, it's no problem at all to switch between them. Don't let it alarm you or you put off from an otherwise pretty good and varied collection of patterns.

If in doubt whether there's enough here to pique your interest, the book is listed on Ravelry with each pattern described. Overall, it's pretty good, though I'm glad I got it at a knock down price, and I'd definitely take a look at any more crochet specific one skein wonder books.
