Caron One Pound yarn is a worsted-weight yarn produced by Yarnspirations. As the name suggests, each skein includes a whole pound of yarn, which means you won’t have to change skeins very often! Yarnspirations says you can make four scarves from one ball of yarn, which is pretty impressive.
It’s a 100% acrylic yarn, which means it’s easy to work with, is perfect for anyone who’s allergic to wool or other natural fibers, and is even machine washable and dryable as long as you use the cool wash and delicate dry settings.
Let’s start this round-up by looking at some clothes you can make with Caron One Pound!

1. Caron Crochet One Skein Summer Wrap
This gorgeous, lacey wrap is perfect for a spring or summer day. It’s made with simple stitches plus the foundation single crochet, which is explained, so this is a good beginner pattern that should work up quickly!
2. Caron Go-To Crochet Shawl
Here’s another lacey option in the form of a shawl. This one would also be perfect for the spring or summer, especially for a garden party or other outdoor event. The pattern calls for basic stitches plus the front-post double crochet (which is described), and includes detailed instructions and a stitch chart.
3. Caron Crochet One Skein Wrap
Here’s a wrap with a fun shell design created out of basic crochet stitches. This wrap would make a perfect beach coverup for this summer! It’s quite customizable, because you can choose your favorite color of Caron One Pound and then make the wrap as long or as short as you like. The pattern calls for pretty easy stitches, and includes a helpful diagram and stitch chart.
4. Caron Pebbled Texture Crochet Hat
Hats are a great item to make with Caron One Pound because you can make multiple hats with one skein! This pattern includes sizes for toddlers, kids, and adults, so the whole family can match. Plus, this is quite an easy project; you’ll only need to know basic stitches plus the front-post double crochet. And if you start now, your hats will be ready in plenty of time for fall and winter—or even for a spring snowstorm if you live in a place with weather like that!
5. Caron Hands Full Crochet Mittens
And why not make some mittens to match your hats? This pattern also includes toddler, kid, and adult sizes, so your whole family will have warm and cozy hands all winter long. The pattern calls for easy stitches plus the half-double crochet decrease (abbreviated as hdc2tog), so it’s good even for beginner crocheters.
6. Simple Seed Stitch Beanie
This beanie has fun stripes of texture and can be made in four sizes ranging from child size through adult XL. The pattern even includes instructions for optional earflaps, so the hat is very customizable! Best of all, the hat is made with simple stitches, though you’ll need to know how to work in the front post, back post, and third loop of a stitch. This is the perfect project if you have some crochet experience but are ready to branch out and learn new skills.
Now let’s check out some blankets that you can make with Caron One Pound yarn!
7. Caron One Skein Crochet Baby Blanket
This baby blanket looks stunning in pink, and it would also look amazing in green, blue, yellow, or whatever color will best match your nursery! It’s made with simple stitches plus the picot stitch, which is described, and it should work up pretty quickly!
8. Caron Easy Peasy Blanket for Babies
For this baby blanket, you’ll need two skeins of Caron One Pound, but since the pattern only calls for basic stitches, this is still a quick and easy project!
9. Caron Textured Crochet Baby Blanket
This baby blanket has a gorgeous texture achieved by doing clusters of stitches. You’ll only need one ball of yarn for this project, and the pattern calls for easy stitches plus the reverse single crochet, which is described with a helpful diagram.
10. Caron Crochet Classic Granny Square Throw
This granny square throw is made with three skeins of yarn, so it’s the perfect size for snuggling under during a cool day. The pattern calls for super simple stitches and even includes a stitch chart, so this is a great beginner project.
11. Caron Braided Cable Crochet Blanket
This blanket features an absolutely gorgeous braided design, and it’s super cozy since it’s made with four skeins of yarn. It’s the perfect project if you have a bit of crochet experience and are ready to branch out, because you’ll need to know the front post double crochet and front post triple crochet stitches. There are both written instructions and a stitch chart to guide you as you crochet.
12. Caron Vertical Herringbone Crochet Blanket
This blanket has a texture that looks complex but is actually easy to create once you get the hang of it! Plus, it features a fun fringe! There are both written instructions and a stitch chart, and you’ll need to know basic stitches plus the front slip stitch, which is described.
13. Caron Race to Finish Crochet Lapghan
This blanket shows off lots of interesting textures, and you can choose your three favorite colors to show those off, too! You’ll need one ball of yarn per color, plus knowledge of back post single crochet, back post triple crochet, and front post triple crochet. If you’ve never done those stitches before, don’t worry—they’re all explained in the pattern.
14. One Pound Lines Square
This square is the first part of a sampler blanket that uses Caron One Pound for all its squares. Of course, for your blanket, you can do any combination of the squares.
I especially love the way the spaces on this square radiate out from the middle. The pattern calls for easy stitches and includes a stitch chart, so this square should work up quickly.
Now let’s take a look at the other squares in the sampler blanket!
15. Caron One Pound Stitch Along Cable Square
I love how this square combines puffed lines with a braided texture. It’s made with easy stitches plus the popcorn stitch, which is described in the pattern.
16. One Pound Ladder Square
This square has a more open design with lots of spaces, and it’s made with simple stitches. The special “chain link corners” are described in the pattern, which even includes a diagram for that step.
17. One Pound Popcorn Square
Last, but certainly not least, is my favorite sampler square! I love how many puffs it has. For this square, you’ll want to have a bit of crochet experience under your belt before you begin, because you’ll need to know the double-triple crochet stitch, the popcorn stitch, and the triple-triple crochet stitch.
Now let’s move back to full blanket patterns!
18. Caron Crochet Snuggle Pet Blanket
Pets need blankets too, and this is the perfect pattern since it includes both a smaller cat size and a larger dog size! For the cat size, you’ll need one skein of Caron One Pound, and for the dog size, you’ll need two skeins. The blanket is made with easy, repetitive stitches so this is quite a meditative project and should work up relatively quickly.
19. For the Love of Texture Afghan
This lap-sized afghan (also known as a “lapghan”) features super fun color and texture combinations. It can be made with any worsted-weight yarn (or a combination of various worsted-weight yarns, if you have a stash you’d like to work through), but I think it would look particularly gorgeous in the Caron One Pound line of colors.
The pattern is super customizable not just because you can choose the colors, but also because the designer has provided instructions for changing the blanket’s length and width.
To make this blanket, you’ll need to know easy stitches plus the puff stitch and crossed half-double crochet. Don’t worry if you haven’t done these stitches before, because the pattern includes a photo tutorial for the puff stitch and a video tutorial for the crossed half-double crochet. There’s also a photo tutorial for color changes and links to a variety of other video tutorials. This is the perfect project if you’re ready to learn some new skills as you crochet!
