We are so excited to be debuting this pattern as part of our July Stunning Mystery Society MKAL

Stunning String Studio has Bourbon Street Party MKAL kits available in your choice of mix and batch bases and colors; complete with yarn, stitch markers and beads.

Created in fingering weight, this triangular summer shawl is knit with optional beads in your choice of 4 different shapes.

The clues will be spread out over 8 weeks with simple, non-stressful sections released each week.

If you’ve never done a Mystery Knit Along before, you are in for a treat. Discovering the mystery along with your fellow knitters is the best.

Each Clue will be added to the one(s) previous, so in the end, you’ll have the final pattern in whole.

The MKAL discussions will be in the Wild Prairie Knits Stitcher’s Lounge, so come and join us.

Skills Needed
Each clue will be fully written out and charted. The stitches used are basic, so it is a relaxing knit, but with enough detail to keep you interested. Basic knit increases and decreases (yo, k2tog, ssk) are included, but anything beyond that will be explained.
