Ah, don’t we all love those gorgeous little mini skein kits!? They’re so hard to resist! Like candy. Delicious!

Stashbusting can be like creating your own candy store, though, so here are a few ideas that will work for minis as well using up bits and bobs of varying lengths from your stash!

Featuring projects that are designed for or are easily modified to use just one skein of yarn! Yarn weights will vary, thus affecting yardage, so be sure to check that info before you begin. If you have any questions about modifying/yarn substitutions, please feel free to reach out!

Here’s a collection of patterns for projects that can be completed in an afternoon! Great for last minute gifts or when you just need an instant gratification sort of project.

And when I say in an afternoon, I mean I can do any one of these in less than six hours - and I’m not really a speedy crocheter!

A collection of the crochet patterns I’ve had published in print magazines.

A bundle for all of my scarf patterns!

A bundle just for cowls!

Triangles, rectangles, and more, oh my!

Some of the smaller accessories!

I just adore marling! Can you tell? I keep coming back to it! Here you’ll find my growing selection of designs featuring the technique of holding two strands of yarn together while you work. Enjoy!

I often use Fibonacci numbers to plan out designs, but these patterns feature the sequence in a more obvious way! You’ll also find fractals, such as the Sierpinski Carpet, showcased here. Math is fun!

A place to gather together all of my designs featuring post stitches, either in large amounts or small!

If you’d like to read more about some of these designs and how the post stitches appear in them, head on over to my blog for a little summary! You can also find a post including video tutorials and written instructions for both front and back post double crochet stitches here.

All my free patterns here on Ravelry gathered together for easy browsing, many of which are great for quick gifts!

A collection of all my patterns designed with yarns from the Tristan and Isolde Yarn Club from Karen Robinson (karendawn) of Round Table Yarns. SO much fun!
