This pattern is worked in the round with only knits and purls to keep track of. It’s grafted together for a seamless look (but could be seamed, if you prefer not to graft it).

Sweetgeorgia’s Party of Five rewards the knitter with frequent color changes, and this pattern can be a calm refuge when you need some quiet time.

If you don’t have a mini-skein set, you could work this with a self-striping yarn and work the textured rows every 2.5 inches.
