It was so much fun putting together all the Surprise Boxes this year. Each one contained a fingering weight yarn, some stitch markers and some treats. A couple of them were extra special ones with double the goodies.

I've often been asked for suggested patterns to go with the yarns included in the Surprise Boxes. So I've put together this list of patterns that will hopefully inspire you to make something out of the beautiful yarns you collected.

Manos Del Uruguay patterns
Since so many of the yarns in the Surprise Boxes were from Manos Del Uruguay, I thought you would like to know that they have a plethora of patterns designed in their own yarns. You can find all of them on Ravelry here: Ravelry: Manos del Uruguay

Thanks for putting this post together with all of the great suggestions, Lauren. I have the yarn from my surprise box sitting on my desk as I make plans for it this coming year.
