If you're a knitting enthusiast looking for a fantastic starter project or something to challenge your skills, the Taurid pattern is the perfect choice. This versatile design is knit sideways and incorporates a delightful touch of lace, making it engaging for both beginners and more experienced knitters alike.

One of the standout features of the Taurid pattern is its suitability for gradient mini skeins, which adds a beautiful and dynamic color transition to your finished piece. This pattern was specifically crafted to showcase the gorgeous Squishy Skeinettes from Anzula, known for their exceptional softness and quality. By using Anzula Squishy (Fingering) yarn, you'll ensure your project is not only visually stunning but also incredibly cozy.

The total yardage required for this project is 950 yards, broken down as follows: 650 yards for the Main Color and 60 yards each for five contrasting colors (CC1 through CC5). This gives you the flexibility to mix and match your colors, allowing for a truly personalized creation.
