This is the pattern listing for the 2026 Rose City Yarn Crawl Mystery Knit Along!

Please note the mosaic colorwork portions of this mystery pattern are charted only.

Be sure to purchase the pre-clue during our Early Bird week for a special pattern preview swatch guide! The preview swatch guide will help you get started on your mystery pattern swatch and give you a little hint at techniques to come in the pattern. Our early bird week starts October 15th and ends October 22nd.

This year’s mysteries are once again 5 clues with each clue releasing weekly for 5 weeks. We’ll kick off Clue 1 on Zoom with designer, Lis Smith of Old Salt Studios to get started together in January and again for a final wrap party in February.

The Zoom schedule and registration link will come with your pre-clue purchase. Registration for each Zoom meetup is required to join.

Clues will be delivered to your Ravelry library each week starting on January 14th, 2026.
