This year’s Knitmas project is - drumroll, please! - TWO projects
You can choose to knit a scarf or a wrap!
They are knit on the bias, share the same motifs, and can be knit with the same kits. The only difference is the width; the scarf is narrower than the wrap.
This provides the option of more (wrap) or less(scarf) knitting each day, depending on your preference. It also allows you to choose the style that you enjoy the most.
Each project requires three different color skeins of fingering-weight yarn.
Can you help me choose colorway combinations?
Absolutely! We’ve curated seven Knitmas Kits featuring Emma’s Yarn and four Knitmas Kits featuring Bow Fiddle Yarns. Buy a kit or use them as a reference when choosing your colors.
You will need three different color skeins of fingering weight yarn.
