Minimal Skeins, Minimal Time, Dramatic Results

October 27, 2014 by AllFreeCrochet

I’m not going in a panic just yet, because I know there are still a few months left before the holiday season. Unfortunately, silly me, I always wait last minute to get my butt in gear for those crochet gifts. This happens every year – I think to myself that there are 12 months of the year and I have more than enough time to work up some nifty crochet designs, but then time flies and I find myself trying to scrape up some good ideas… and time. What’s great about AllFreeCrochet is that there are so many crochet patterns to choose from and so many cute ones at that. When time runs out and my life takes over I need to look at all the patterns that use minimal skeins and work up quickly. Luckily, even those patterns that use one to three skeins of yarn can have dramatic results. I mean let’s not kid ourselves, everything on the site is stunning. Do you feel you’re running out of time? We have you covered!

One Skein Crochet Patterns


One Hour or Less

Planes, trains and automobiles. If you take public transportation to work or go on a quick trip then the following crochet patterns are perfect for you to work up. Seriously, some of these patterns take as little as 10 minutes to work up. If you’re in a time crunch, which we’ve all been in at one point or another, you’ll easily be able to crochet these for yourself or someone else. Great gift ideas are at your fingertips.
