The mystery knitalong is now finished; all is revealed. Thank you for the fun!

Ideal for variegated or semi-solid yarn, colours slipstream from one clue to the next.

The interesting textures show-off all the colours beautifully. Add some glamour to your project with optional beads.

The pattern includes speedy wrist-warmers and regular mitts with a shaped thumb gusset; it’s flexible. You can adjust the length of wrist or finger covering to your personal favourite, even during the MKAL

Worked in the round, this is an intermediate project.
