Welcome to our Mystery Knit Afghan for 2018!
Maybe you enjoyed our Mystery Knit Afghan 2017, and are set for another. This year our blanket is knit in colour. Further down, we’ve posted our colour recommendations for you. For this mystery knit, you will get every clue automatically on Ravelry starting January 15. So, get your yarn and needles ready!
This Afghan is a mixture of stitches. Some sections are cabled, some are squares and some are one knit pattern. The design changes to keep you interested section after section, and when it’s all put together it makes a beautiful seamless blanket.
Get the pattern here. Or on Ravelry here.
How it works:
A portion of the Afghan will be released every 4 weeks. There will be a total of 10 parts, and 11 clues for this afghan. In 44 weeks, you will have a completely seamless knit afghan. You will be able to enjoy your afghan by Christmas!
Colour Palettes:
Here’s your chance to experiment with colours, or go with one solid colour! We have also designed a few colour palettes that you can use if you wish. Or you can use them for inspiration when choosing your colours. Let your inner designer go…
We chose colour palette #1 ‘Sandstone’ for our blanket, and we couldn’t be happier with how the colours work with the design. These are all done in hues of Cascade 220 Superwash from LoveKnitting. This yarn has been a dream to work with!
