I LOVE hand-dyed yarn. Each skein is a work of art in and of itself. I also love watching the yarn transform as it’s knitted up. I wish I had time to knit up every skein that catches my eye.

That’s where mini skeins come to the rescue! They’re a tiny taste of a full skein and once they’re knit up, you get to try out the next delicious skein.

The Mini Skein Sampler scarf is my new favorite way to show off the beauty of hand-dyed yarn and to use all of the precious mini skeins I’ve been collecting (hoarding?). It’s a diagonal garter stitch scarf with eyelet transitions between colors. Slipped stitches are used along the sides to give it a smooth, finished look.

This scarf is easy enough for beginning knitters and fun for all. Simple by design, this pattern is all about showing off the yarn!

I hope you enjoy knitting up your very own sampler scarf and please feel free to contact me with any questions. Happy knitting!
