I love mini skeins. They’re so fun to use and you never get bored because the colors are used so quickly. This pattern was designed to show off five colors whether a gradient or totally contrasting. To make it suitable for more seasons, the front features a simple lace pattern. The name came from the geology term anticline as the lace pattern made me thing of folded layers of strata.
