I have an uncomplicated love of yarn. I love mini-skeins. I love gradients. I love leftover scraps. I just LOVE yarn. But sometimes I struggle to find the right pattern to bring together all my bits and bobs of yarn. When the yarn is really and truly gorgeous, it doesn’t need any complicated stitches to dress it up. This pattern features a simple, easy to memorize lace that perfect for adventurous beginners and and advanced knitters alike. The combination of garter stitch and openwork lets the yarn shine. Nothing fussy. Nothing fancy. Just simple, uncomplicated knitting.

This pattern was designed to work well with an advent mini-skein set. However, you can knit this wrap in one, two, or a hundred colors. This is a great project for stash busting and a wonderful way to play with mini skeins. The color combinations for this project are limited only by your imagination (and stash).
