SKILL LEVEL:
Large projects can seem daunting, especially when they may stretch your skills. Breaking them up into manageable pieces is a great way to approach them. In this Mystery KAL blanket, you will work just one section at a time. Each section uses one color and focuses on one stitch pattern. Some of these will be repeated in later sections. Using this method, all you will need is a positive attitude, a willingness to learn, and a little perseverance to be successful!
- Click the Videos tab to learn how to knit portions of the most recent clue. Additional videos are available on YouTube
- This rectangular blanket is worked on the diagonal. You will begin at one corner and end at the opposite corner.
- If you are using a yarn other than what is called for, be sure that it is mostly natural fibers. You need to be able to block the blanket to get the straightest possible edges. Man-made fibers typically do not block well and will shrink back to the as-knit shape.
- Sections 1-6 use six unique stitch patterns. The same stitch patterns are used in sections 7-12.
- Hints for each specific stitch pattern are listed in that section.
- Slip first knit stitch knitwise, first purl stitch purlwise.
- Increases only happen on the WS (after R4), adjacent to the knit stitch in the edging.
- Carry yarn loosely when slipping stitches.
- To carry yarn B up the side, bring yarn A up from under yarn B. This will lock B into the first stitch made with A.
- Gauge swatches are IMPERATIVE for each stitch pattern in order to maintain even edges. I used to think that I “always knit on gauge”. However, it finally dawned on me that what I was really assuming is that I knit to the same gauge as the person who designed the pattern. Believe me, that is a bad assumption. Please DO NOT assume that you knit to the same gauge as I do! Yes, it is an extra step, but it also assures you that what you are knitting will produce what you expect. And you won’t need to worry about running out of yarn. If you are substituting yarn, it is especially important to verify that it behaves in the same way as the yarn called for in the pattern.

LATO shawl
I don’t typically like the look of any crocheted garment. HOWEVER, LATO is different. It is Lacy looking, so I downloaded it and hope to use some of my luscious EFA fingering yarn to create my own soon.
Perservance
This pattern creates a beautiful highly textured diagonally knit blanket. In the 12 sections there are 6 stitch patterns, so you learn the patterns both incresing and decreasing the row count. I would rate the pattern as intermediate rather than adventurous beginner. However, the excellent videos do allow a less experienced knitter to have success. The pattern stitches were new to me and I found some I would use again in other projects. I love my blanket and just may knit another one.
Perseverance MKAL
I absolutely loved participating in this MKAL. Pattern is surprisingly easy to follow. Tutorials Chandi made to teach the stitch patterns are VERY helpful. I love this, although I have not finished the blanket yet because of other life events but my goal for 2023 is to make this my first completed project of the year! Thank you Chandi and EFA team!

A MKAL just for me!
Love this MKAL pattern. The videos that go with each section have been very helpful. This is my first MKAL and I'm excited every month to see what I'll be knitting in the next section. The yarn and colorways could not be more beautiful. It's going to be a blanket I love for many years!

I love the pattern plus learning new stitches.
2022 Mystery KAL
I want to say I love this but I’m disappointed. I do love the yarn however the colorways for the cool version are really…disappointing. Weeks 1-7 are so similar and then week 8 is completely different. The variegated yarn makes it difficult to see the stitch pattern and I’m sad because I really wanted to see a beautiful end result but I’m just not getting it at all. I’ll probably use the yarn for something else. I hate to leave a comment like this because this is definitely some of my favorite yarn from a favorite yarn company. I’m so bummed.
Fantastic pattern!
Fun pattern I really enjoyed doing! Love this! Thank you!

This blanket has been lots of fun and a great way to try my hand at multiple new stitches. Definitely give each gauge swatch a go. Each pattern is unique with its own take up of yarn and elasticity.

Wonderful!
Love this blanket pattern! Made with enduring worsted yarn, it's soft and thick with fun-to-knit patterns. I used the suggested yarn colors (warm pallete) and am thoroughly pleased with it. If you're on the fence, pick some pretty colors and go for it!

I look forward to the next section each month. It’s amazing the combination of steps makes such different looks for each stitch!

I am so enjoying this knit. Interesting textures and it knits with a relaxing rhythm. It is the best part of my day. I am knitting using the cooler colors. The yarn is so sumptious. I am liking this pattern so much, I am actually making a smaller version using scarp yarn for those nights when I am waiting for the next clue.

Received information about the MKAL which sounded like fun and a good way to use up some of my aran weight yarn. Having completed the first part, I'm looking forward to the rest as it was well written and easy to follow and the technique used was new to me and interesting to do. The accompanying tutorial was really helpful too in clarifying how the M1P stitch should be done.
