Welcome to Scarfmas 2017!!!

This is a yearly Geoknittrix Designs holiday tradition and welcome to Year 4: APEX!!!

Scarfmas patterns are fun, quick to knit patterns that are perfect for that last minute gift, for a fun charity knit, for that one person who is so hard to gift knit for (because who doesn’t need a scarf?), or for YOU as a knitter! (My personal favorite!)

I love to knit and I’m lucky to be on some other amazing gift knitters’ lists, but it’s not often that I find a hand knit gift under the tree for me! So this is the PERFECT opportunity to knit for YOU!

Scarfmas is all about the spirit of the holidays and gifting and sharing our love of yarn, needles, and color with the world! This shawliday transcends any religion, politics, or anything else that can tend to drive us apart. Scarfmas is all about the love and warmth of sharing our passions with others and encapsulates the spirit of the knitting community around us!

Apex is a fun, quirky little MKAL that updates every day for 12 days with the next section of the pattern. There are some larger sections, but generally speaking, the sections are fun and fast to make sure you don’t have to sacrifice too much of that precious crafting time!

The pattern release will start on December 7th, 2017 and finish 12 days later on the 18th. This gives you time to do any sort of catching up and plenty of time to block and wrap your amazing scarf!

Join the KAL shenanigans here: geoknittrix designs group

Merry Scarfmas everyone, and to all a love-filled year!
