This year’s Knitmas project is a crescent-shaped shawl full of textural and colorwork motifs, designed to wrap around you like a warm hug.

Can you help me choose colorway combinations?

Absolutely! We curated six Knitmas Kits featuring Emma’s Yarn Super Silky for gorgeous drape and sheen. If you’re planning on cretaing your own combo, they are a great reference.
