I LOVE purchasing mini skeins as a way of trying new yarns- I mean how could I not, they are so cute and teeny! This year I decided to join Amanda Knit’s mini club and receive 1 20 gram mini and 1 10 gram every month in the mail. I'm only a few months in and I am already eagerly stalking my mailbow each month excited to see the new colorwys. But then the question became, how do I show off these gorgeous minis? Enter the Puff Medallion Granny Square! This intermediate/adventurous beginner pattern is a fantastic way to let these yarns shine as well as keep my interest round after round. Try it, and let me know what you think below!
