This fun and easy unisex wrap / scarf can be knit in any length, width, gauge and yarn weight. You only need to have an even amount of stitches on your needles. Great pattern for minis and leftovers. Use the Russian Join method when you run out of yarn and you won’t have tons of yarn ends to weave in at the end. And you can place those yarn joins at any spot.

Advent Mania is knit using knit and slipped stitches. You only need to purl on the very last wrong side row before the cast off. Advent Mania has an I-cord edge on every side. The right side looks like a field of stars. The wrong side reminds me of Italian Missoni chevron stripes in mini size.

The instructions on the pattern is just one example. Use that or make your own size.

I knit my Advent Mania using Lottie Knit’s advent calendar minis as Color A and Down Sheepy Lane’s advent calendar minis as Color B. The finished size of my Advent Mania (after blocking): Length 190 cm (75 in), width 41 cm (16 in), weight 362 g.
