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 used the gorgeous @pineappleyarn 2022 set for both of these wraps the fade version and the fade + striped version with a gorgeous @terinaknits pink contrast. Plus there were leftovers for a hat and cowl too! Swipe to see...

A Twist Cardigan!
A “twist” on a top down raglan garment, the Twist Cardigan offers plenty of opportunity for you to add your own twist to yours. Begin by choosing between the Waist, Thigh and Knee Length, then add colour to the party. Twist was originally designed with a mini-skein festive set in mind and offers a myriad of ways to incorporate minis into the knit. Knit stripes to showcase the yarn, blend a gradient set of yarn for a continuous fade or have fun with colour blocking. A contrasting main colour serves to enhance the chevron design and provides a counterpoint. Worked in fingering weight yarn, you may also like to hold a strand of kidsilk mohair together to create a cosier luxe version for chillier days. Twist Cardigan is designed to be worn open at the front and features a puff sleeve at the cuff.
