The Kentia Wrap only takes one Koigu Pencil Box and five skeins of KPM, so this project won’t break the bank. The design is meant to make the most of the Koigu pencil box to add beautiful chevrons of colour to a solid KPM contrast base. The Kentia wrap features the ‘mosaic knitting’ technique, which uses slipped stitches to create the texture rather than complicated colour work.

We have curated a few different colour ways to inspire you, but you definitely don’t have to stick to these… Any pencil box colour-way and solid KPM will work!

Here are some colour combos that we have available as kits!

The Scarlotto pack
