About the Pattern
Mini skeins and scrappy patterns have been some of my very favorite knitting of my handcrafting journey. With the debut of my 10th mini skein pattern, I wanted to do something extra special. Traditionally, mini skein patterns are drapey and light- it’s the nature of fingering weight yarn, after all! But aren’t we all just craving a chunky, warm, cozy infinity scarf in the winter? I know I am, so that’s exactly what Pinceaux de Monet is! It works up in the round and it’s almost entirely built off the knit stitch. Thanks to the unique stitch it’s composed of, it magically feels like it is made from a DK or worsted yarn. The pattern is basically a two round repeat, so it’s easy to remember and bring with on your holiday adventures with friends and family. The colors transition in a type of fade, so whether you are working with stark contrasts, plotting your minis to fade, working with two full skeins, or using a combo of a full skein with minis, the transitions allow the colorway of your yarns to shine beautifully, as well as giving your whole project a cohesiveness that culminates in a scarf that resembles a Monet painting. Best of all, it only uses 40 yds of each color, so if you have 80+ yd minis, you have enough to add into a scrappy Cottagecore Throw Blanket!
Happy knitting and Happy Holidays! -SamBee
