was going to do this last year when it came out but didnt, so will be doing it this year inbetween my other wips. great pattern and instructions

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.

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.

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!

Hy Chandi & Team

I had such fun with this. Loved the pattern and I’m enjoying its warmth now.

This is a 2023 Project

This was my knit along project. I loved it. I really enjoyed curling up with my project at the end of the day.. so comfy.

This is my first knit along of any kind. I'm really behind, but am absolutely loving it. It's like curling up with a good friend and just knitting at the end of the day. Very comfy.

What a fun blanket this turned out to be! My cat won't stop laying on it, lol. It's the perfect size to snuggle under. Thank you for the lovely design.

I have been enjoying this knit along. I am using a variegated yarn.

I have just finished the 10th section and am loving the colors. I usually prefer the cool palette, but challenged myself to do the warm version. I cannot wait to finish this project!

This is the most fun blanket I have been involved with. It is beautiful

Looks like a well thought Out pattern

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.

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.

Fun pattern I really enjoyed doing! Love this! Thank you!

I am loving this journey and look forward each month to complete the next section! Pattern is well written and videos are super helpful! Can’t wait to see the full completed blanket!

Hallo Chandi, It makes so much Fun to work this MKAL blanket. All your patterns are easy to work. You are a wonderful, warmly Person big hugs.

Anxiously await each months pattern. I am also doing the MCAL and just wish they were released a couple weeks apart!

Enjoying this project And learned slip stitch. Waiting for next month’s clue

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.

I love this pattern. Learning new stitches and enough time for slow knitters. I will use this pattern often.

Gorgeous pattern! Thank you, Chandi and team!

I haven't even started it yet, but hopefully I will very soon!

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!

It's been fun getting a new pattern and wool each month and watching my blanket grow! I'd definitely do this again!

Wonderful designs. Lots of variation. Charted.

love the blanket so far however not being emailed when a new section is released...currently looking for section 7 and got 4-5-6 2 wks ago after contacting you.

This was such a fun project to work on....can't wait for you next KAL

Ik can't wait to make it! It's beautiful.

Love it! Just got yarns for Apr-June

I am enjoying this KAL so fun doing all the different sections, I look forward to the next new pattern every month, I love receiving it so great

I just love the different stitches in this pattern combined with the soft, hardy Enduring Worsted yarn used for the blanket. I am building my knitting prowess and the textures that are created are beautiful and cushion y.

Excellent instructions

Can’t wait for the next section

Love the yarn, instructions are soooo easy to follow. Chandi does a great job showing you how to do the stitches. Makes me love knitting again.

I’m enjoying the knit along and excited for the next clue.

I love Shanti’s tutorials every Friday I wait for them to download them. Her yarn as well ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I'm obsessed with this pattern. I love the challenge feeling, and as a newbie knitter it's really cool to learn new techniques. And the result is so nice and already cozy!

Awesome pattern

You are wonderful. You are my inspiration

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.

Waiting for clue 3 Excellent demos

I have knitted Clue 1 which is beautiful; the pattern is easy to follow and well written.

Can’t wait to see what it looks like.Finished January clue and working on February clue. Love the color palette I chose- cool yarn. The yarn is amazing

I am enjoying this project. I finished sections 1 and 2 this week.

Perseverance ...have not started it as I am working long hours, so will do it in my holidays

Perseverance

It is so helpful to have tutorials on YouTube to support the patterns. I have knit a few patterns found on the EFA site and truly enjoy the variety of styles and yarn weights for which patterns are available. Also love the yarn.

I really enjoyed Clue 1 and thought Clue 2 was going to be released on February 11th but have not seen it yet. I would appreciate having an idea when subsequent clues will be released. Many thanks!

Seems to be really nice, but what about clue 2

Seems to be really nice, but what about clue 2

This pattern is really nice and fun to work with! I can’t wait for the next part of the project!

a wonderful pattern just wondering when the second part for February is going to be released and if it has where is it?

This is such a fun project! I enjoy knit alongs and this one will be relaxing, 1 new pattern per month for 12 months. Just my type of project!

Loved the January section, can't wait for February.

Love the January portion, can't wait for February's.

I love the idea Thatcher we don t know the final result. Wainting clue 2 every day hoping will receive it

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.

Non vedo l'ora di farla

Loving the opportunity to learn new things in this year long project. thank you very much die your effort and inspiration.

Works up easy & fast can't wait for the next sections

This is my first knit-a-long, so I'm really excited. I'm about halfway through January's clue, and am looking forward to February's. The instructions are clear and easy to follow.

This pattern is intriguing. The colors for each of the color schemes chosen will definitely be a wonderful surprise each month. Can't wait to see how the mystery evolves!
