“Knitting.. A perfect way to unwind your mind.”
Welcome to the Mystery Knit Afghan 2024! This is our 8th Mystery Knit Afghan. The theme for this year’s Mystery Knit Afghan is Love Knitting Cables! I have designed each afghan with unique and stunning cable stitches and I am amazed how many more cables there are to learn and knit.

This year, the Mystery Knit will be broken down into 8 different clues. Each clue will be full of cables and seamless! There will be no seaming at the end of this mystery knit. Plus, this year, there will be NO picking up stitches. It is a straight knit from the cast on to the bind off.
A few examples of the Mystery Knit Afghans we have already knit! They are unique and stunning!
Why a Mystery Knit Afghan?
Have you tried knitting an afghan, only to get tired of the same stitch pattern over and over? I have! I must admit that I LOVE knitting these afghan patterns. There is change in each section that keeps the pattern challenging and interesting. These afghans fly off my needles because I have a hard time putting them down. AND the best part, these afghans are SEAMLESS! Absolutely NO seaming is required. When you join the Mystery Knit Afghan, you will have a year to complete your afghan. This afghan will be ready to be gifted for Christmas, or for you to snuggle under during the cold months.
How does the Mystery Knit work?
The Mystery Knit Afghan is broken down into 8 different clues. These clues are spread out throughout 2024. Upon purchase, you will receive an information file on what you need to get ready for the Mystery Knit. On each specified day, you will receive the next clue. If you purchase on this website, you will receive an email with a link to download the next clue. If you purchase on Ravelry, you will receive the clue as an update in your Ravelry library. If you purchase on Etsy, I will email you each new clue.
There is ONLY a one time purchase for the Mystery Knit. The one time purchase includes all 8 clues. It does not, however, include the Mystery Knit Pillow unless you purchase the Mystery Knit Afghan plus Pillow set.
