The best part of scrappy, mini skein projects is their nature of holding memories in each piece. The Scrapbook Scarf pattern knits mini skeins together to create a cozy and wearable memento. It is designed as a Mystery Knit Along (MKAL) over the 12 Days of Christmas, knitting a 20g mini each day starting on December 25, and resulting in a scrappy scarf that holds the memories of the holidays in each day. This pattern uses garter stitch and join- as-you-go methods that are easy to remember and intuitive. A pictorial for the join-as- you-go method and schematics for each step are included. Best of all, the pattern repeats after the first few days, so you can make your scarf shorter or longer as you please. Instructions are included on how to either seam into an infinity scarf, or create a classic scarf shape. I am so excited for us to scrapbook our memories together into this knitted piece through the holidays!

• 2 or more alternating larger skeins.
• 1 full skein and 6 minis alternating larger skeins with mini skeins scattered in.

If using only two colors, or 1 full skein and minis plot them in each day as follows:
Color 1 or minis on Days: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, (13 if doing the classic scarf shape)
Color 2 on Days: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12
Whatever you choose, the resulting project will be colorful and cute!

ridges. There will be a picture
tutorial for this when the time comes!
* You can knit the Scrapbook
Scarf in DK for an extra chunk knit,
or hold fingering weight with a
brushed alpaca or mohair for an extra
fluffy and cozy warm scarf.
