Some miniskein sets or advent boxes are just so stunning that you don’t want too fancy a pattern – you just want the colour to do the talking, but you also don’t want a design that’s boring to knit. You need a pattern that just lets the colours speak for themselves, but adds enough interest to be a fun knit - AND is easy enough for a beginner.

This pattern was originally designed for the 2018 Advent season where I had two advent sets that just blew me away with their colours. This pattern uses 24 x 10g miniskeins of surprise colour. But it can also be made in a minimum of 2 x 100g skeins, alternating colours to form the stripes at approximately 10g intervals. It looks great with advent boxes or miniskeins in speckled, variegated and solids. It can obviously also be knit in regular size skeins/balls.

Don’t be daunted by the stitches used, the 2 lace sections are both incredibly easy and suitable for beginners and inexperienced knitters, as well as making good TV knitting for the more expert.

As it was designed for an advent box of yarn, the samples shown use 24 miniskeins of 10g each, but any old scraps of about 10g each will work well. I also sell Mystery Balls – whatever size you like, suitable for this pattern.
