Welcome to the second annual Sannila Designs mystery shawl knitalong!

Pick your favourite yarn in three different colours and join me on this adventure! Out of those three colours, the two contrast colours should have good contrast between them. Solids and semisolids work the best. The main colour can be whatever you like (although I wouldn’t recommend self-striping), but note that you should have 150 grams of this one.

Three yarn kits have been dyed by Rva Silmusolmu, you can find them here. And if you decide to join in, you can find the official cover photo and other graphics to use on social media here.

The pattern is divided into 8 parts and we will be knitting for right about a month. The clues will be published a few days apart, depending on the amount of knitting in each. They will be updated as follows:

Clue 1: 8.5.
Clue 2: 9.5.
Clue 3: 13.5.
Clue 4: 16.5.
Clue 5: 17.5.
Clue 6: 20.5.
Clue 7: 25.5.
Clue 8: 2.6.

Other than that, there’s not much more I can reveal. Prepare for everything and have fun! Join the discussions and learn more in my Ravelry group.
