Stripes of Joy is a pattern I designed after receiving a beautiful yarn advent calendar from a dear friend. I realized many people order mini skein advent calendars with no project in mind of what to make. This is a fun way to use any number of mini skeins you would like, plus one main skein color for the cuffs, heels, and toes. It’s a fun way to use scraps as well.
