Advents and minis are always difficult to design for. This one has been in my back pocket for awhile waiting to come to life and I couldn’t be happier with the final project. The slip stitch texture is so easy and mindless, exactly the kind of knitting I look for this time of year. The finished fabric is warm and lush. It drapes so beautiful and is the perfect size for chilly weather. I love how the colors blend and integrate as the piece grows.
