Today's #FeaturedFriday50 pattern is the Passiflor Today's #FeaturedFriday50 pattern is the Passiflora Wrap.

The Passiflora Wrap was designed with a festive 12- or 24- colour mini skein set in mind. There are so many possibilities - add colours in randomly, arrange your minis in a gradient fade, or use a main colour and alternate with 12 mini skeins. This is also a perfect way to use up all those leftover yarns hiding in your stash. Simple garter stitch keeps this a mindless knit with an eyelet pattern adding chevron interest; some fun shaping and the regular colour changes will keep you wanting to knit on.

I made both shawls pictured with a stunning 24 colour mini skein set from @pineappleyarn and had some lovely leftovers for a couple of scrappy projects too.
The contrast pale pink in the first version pictured is @terinaknits the perfect nuetral!

Today's #FeaturedFriday50 pattern is the Celadon S Today's #FeaturedFriday50 pattern is the Celadon Shawl.

Go mellow or go bold with this fun 1970s inspired shawl! Opt for gentle colour shifts for a neutral wrap, perfect for for any occasion, then knit another in your favourite brights, neons, or rainbow hues for a show-stopping accessory. Celadon features a shallow triangular shape and long, tapered ends. Sitting comfortably on the shoulders without too much bulk, it’s adaptable enough to be worn as a wrap, shawl, or scarf.

Celadon was a collaboration with @sunshineyarns who are currently having a Fade week with a new fade/ gradient set each day!
