All you need is one skein of sock yarn. This shawl is very relaxing to knit, ideal for a night in front of the TV or when you have guests over. You’ll need to know how to knit and purl, and there are a few lace rows here and there. It practically knits itself.

This Advent calendar is an excellent weekend project: It takes just two days to make, after which you can take your time looking for the perfect gifts to fill it with.
