Paintbox Wrap pattern
$ 7.00
Paintbox Wrap is created especially for mini-skeins, with bands of color that use just one mini-skein each. A simple lace stitch is worked in the color bands, and it can be easily adapted to whatever size mini-skein you have, whether your minis are 10g, 20g, or 25g each.

Yarn requirements
By pairing the color bands with a neutral shade of yarn, worked in garter stitch at the ends and between each color band, it helps to pull together all the various colors you choose into a single, cohesive whole.
