“Women are the ones who knows what’s going on… Have you not heard of Agatha Christie?” Mma Ramotswe

Originally released as our 4th Stunning Mystery Society Knit Along for 2018. As we knit our projects, we will discover Botswana, and the world of the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency.

This is a single-color shawl/throw created in a lovely, snuggly DK weight.

You will have the option of making three shapes: ½ circle, ¾ circle, or full circle (worked in the round); each in either small or large size.

Stunning String Studio has Gaborone Kits in your choice of nearly 200 colors, complete with stitch markers, the pattern and some extras. You can choose yours here.

The pattern discussions will be in the Wild Prairie Knits group, so come and join us.

Pattern is fully written and charted. This pattern is knitCompanion® supported. What does that mean?

Skills Needed
Pattern is 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.
