Have you seen a pack of five skeins in a fade set and been tempted but don't know what to use them for? Well look no further... here's some pattern inspiration for you!
Fading Point by Joji Locatelli
The original pattern that inspired us to make five skein fade sets in the first place!
Starting Point by Joji Locatelli
The precursor to Fading Point. This might not be as obvious with how to use a fade set but could look very striking. It is only available on Ravelry at the moment.
Here's how it looks with five colours (but not a fade):

Crochet Your Fade by Julme Conradie
Inspired by Find Your Fade by Andrea Mowry this is a crochet version and is an assymetric triangular shawl. This is only available on Ravelry

This shawl includes sections where two colours are used together to give more interesting sections that would also look stunning in a fade. It is an assymetric rectangle worked on the bias and includes half linen (woven) stitch.

You could also use a single colour pattern and split it into colour blocks fading through the colours. Victoria loves making Boxy sweaters using five different skeins of yarn. This uses the Boxy pattern by Joji Locatelli, project notes can be found HERE.
