What to do with a single ball of wool?

What can you do with wool?

If you only have one ball of yarn left, that's enough for some projects. Instead of piling up your orphaned balls in the closet or giving them to a charity or your knitting neighbor, use them for a unique project.
Here are some creative ideas for knitting with a single ball of yarn:

A wool scarf

Got a ball of yarn lying around? Make a scarf out of it! The single color scarf is the perfect accessory for this winter that will suit both men and women.
It is also the ideal knitting project for those who want to start knitting. Very simple to make, you will be able to get your hands on it and check if you like the knitting activity. You only invest in one ball and you knit a simple shape with a single stitch, like the jersey stitch in our tutorial.

A woolen hat

If you choose to make a hat for a child or baby, knit with soft, hypoallergenic wool like the Layette Special Wool.

Mittens

Mittens are another welcome wool accessory when the temperatures drop. And they're super practical: while keeping your little hands warm, your fingers are free to move. You'll be able to grab, hold, write and even use touch screens without any problem!

Woolen slippers

And to keep your little feet warm, we suggest you make woolen slippers... To make the ones in our tutorial, we suggest you use a knitting machine. Very easy to handle, even the most novice knitters should be able to do it!

Baby booties

You can also make a miniature version with these baby booties. They are very small, so they don't need much wool. Absolutely adorable, they are at the peak of cuteness! This will be an adorable gift to give for an upcoming birth.

Tassels

With a single ball of wool, you can make a multitude of woolen pompons: long, round, short, flat...
What to do with pompons?

  • Decorate a hat
  • Make a key chain
  • Customize a basket
  • Make funny animals
  • Make a garland
  • Pimping a pillow

A head band

The head band, also known as a headband, is very easy to make. Very practical to use leftover wool, it does not require an absolute knowledge of knitting techniques. By following our tutorial, you will be able to make two models with the knitting stitches for beginners that are the foam stitch and the jersey stitch.
