If you’ve got advents, random mini skeins, or scraps to use up, this is the perfect pattern for you! Each color section uses about 6g of fingering weight yarn, so you could easily use this for stashbusting.

The Simple Wish Cowl is a double wrap cowl (infinity scarf) designed with advent mini skeins in mind. I made my sample with the 2022 Suburban Stitcher Quiet Voices advent minis. The pattern is best worked with an even number of mini skeins - 12 or 24 minis is optimal. My original sample used 24 colors, 1 pattern section of each color. If you use 12 minis, you’d need to complete 2 pattern sections in each color, either by working 2 sections in a row in the same color, or working single sections for each color and then repeating each color a 2nd time.

The pattern is easy to memorize, simple to work on, while still being interesting. There are 2 different stitch patterns that alternate; this along with changing color each section will keep you engaged to the very end. Yes, there are a lot of ends to weave in…I’m sorry! But trust me, it’s worth it.

The finished piece measures approximately 10 inches (25cm) wide and 52 inches (132cm) around. It’s worked flat, on the bias, and seamed together at the end.

Pattern includes instructions for making your piece wider and longer should you choose to do so.
