Welcome to the Summer Mystery Loom-a-long for 2023. This year we will be making a different picture cloth each week. You may choose from any of three loom gauges for your cloth.

If you complete all three clues during the loom-a-long, I will send you a fourth pattern as a bonus!

Clue 1 is now available! There are two versions: a large print Easy to Read file, and a paper saver file in small print.

Timeline:

Now thru July 12th: planning and prep

July 13 to 19: Clue 1

July 20 to 26: Clue 2

July 27 to August 2: Clue 3

This is open to loom knitters of all levels. You’ll need to be able to cast on, cast off, e-wrap knit and purl.

Loom Options:

¼ inch (fine), 3/8 inch (fine) or 3/8 inch (small) with 34 pegs for flat knitting.

Sizes:

¼ inch gauge: 6.25 inch square
3/8 inch fine gauge: 7.5 inch square

55 to 70 yards of worsted weight cotton or a cotton blend will be needed for each clue.

Accessibility: All of the clues will be in a visually accessible format, with 24 point font large print, all black, Arial font. There are no italics used. The patterns are also screen reader accessible and have been tested for clarity. The directions will be both written and charted. The charts are enlarged and use a color-coded format for easy reading. You do not need to use the chart to complete the pattern. A separate paper saver version of each clue will also be available.
