Pattern by Carmen Jorissen
This pattern features all over colorwork on the entire knit sweater – which would make it the perfect project for advent mini skeins or a scrappy project! This would be easy to have a main color that you use all over or you could mix and match your mini skeins!
Pattern by Andrea Mowry
This pattern features chunky stripes and would be super cute with random colors or as a fade!
Pattern by Mary Gannon
Grab a main color for the stripes in between and then use your mini skeins as the contrast colors!
Pattern by Anna Johanna
An all over colorwork sweater that would be easy to modify with advent mini skeins!
Pattern by Anna and Heidi Pickles
The Ferda Sweater is a gorgeous sweater working with two contrasting colors at the same time doing colorwork!
Pattern by Stephen West
This is the ultimate stash busting or use for mini skeins (held double) if I’ve ever seen one! You can really go wild with this pattern and the colors that you choose for it – and Stephen would love that, too!
Pattern by Andrea Mowry
I personally chose this sweater cardigan for my 2023 advent minis and it turned out SO CUTE! You use the tiniest bit of your mini skein for the thin contrasting stripe, so there is plenty for another scrappy or advent project! You can see my project page for this here!
Pattern by Jamie Hoffman
This pattern would be awesome for a fade or a gradient mini skein set!
Pattern by Wool and Pine
I also have personally knit this tee with my mini skeins from a 13 day advent! You can read about how I mixed my minis to make sure I would have enough for the length here on my project page!
Pattern by Nomad Stitches
This would be so cute if you use a main color and then use your mini skeins or advent as the contrasting colors!
