This Twelve Days of Knitmas Mystery Knit-Along(MKAL) is our FIFTH annual let’s-spend-this-awkward-post-holiday-time-knitting-together-and-shaking-off-the-stress-of-the-season MKAL.

Simply put, it is a free twelve-day mystery knit-along full of fun and friendship, and at the end of it, you have a beautiful project to gift or keep.

How do we get the clues?


Since you’re already here, go ahead and grab this pattern.

Next, click here to sign up for the emails. This is where all the magic happens, including tutorials, freebies, and discounts from Nomadic Knits and our collaborators.

Signing up for the emails is the best way to receive each day’s clue as soon as it is released. While the emails go out around 4 AM EST each day, clues are released daily on Ravelry around 7 or 8 AM EST. (It’s later than the email updates because it has to be released manually, which requires me to be awake)

Clues are released daily beginning on December 26th.

Where can I participate?

We’ll be hanging out in our Facebook group and would love for you to join us there! We have a wonderfully kind community where all are welcome.


Share posts on Instagram using #twelvedaysofknitmasmkal, and you’ll be eligible to win prizes there, too. (Your profile must be public for us to see the pictures.)

You can also join the fun in our Ravelry group!

Can you give us any hints?

Sure thing!

This year’s Knitmas project is a luxurious Moebius cowl full of textured motifs to keep your fingers happily knitting row after row!

Can you help me choose colorway combinations?

Absolutely! We’ve curated six Knitmas Kits featuring Emma’s Yarn (photos are coming soon!). They are a great reference when choosing your colors.

You will need one skein of fluffy laceweight yarn for your MC and six coordinating mini-skeins of fingering weight yarn for your CCs. We used Suri Silk for our MC and Practically Perfect Smalls for our CCs. Both yarns are from Emma’s Yarn.
