You do not have to purchase an Advent kit to make this wrap, you could just gather together 23-24 minis or scrap yarn from your stash (each section takes about 15g). 
This pattern works well with blocks of colour or a faded gradient, but it’s really up to your imagination, so you do whatever you fancy!

Stitch markers are optional. The pattern is an easy repeat but if you feel more comfortable, definitely throw some in. There are a few unusual elements but never fear they are supported with step-by-step video instruction.

Description:
I have designed the Clockwork Universe Wrap with a 24 x20g mini skein Advent Calendar in mind, but an Advent is not essential to complete this project. There are many possibilities and options with colours and yarn - you could arrange your minis in a gradient fade to have high contrast. This is a great way to use up all those beautiful leftover yarns in your stash.

This pattern could also be knit in 8ply or add a strand of mohair. If you decide to do this I recommend checking you have extra yarn as the gauge will be different from the pattern and go up to a 4.5mm needle.

This is a simple pattern with basket weave and an easy lace section with a few interesting designs like lateral stitch and, of course, the lovely ruffles. The pattern is smartly finished with an i-cord edge and looks beautiful after blocking. A great relaxing holiday knit with some fun elements to keep you engaged….I hope you enjoy X
