Mystery Pattern for Mystery 220 forum, April 2020.

Suitable for a solid, color-changing, subtly patterned yarn, or scraps if they will do approximately 5 rows.

Mystsery Item is One Size Fits Most teen - adult, and Unisex suitable. Possibly could be made to fit a middler child if done in DK weight with size 4 (3.25mm) needles.

Getting an exact gauge isn’t crucial, but must be in the ballpark to ensure fit. Go up or down a needle size or move up to Aran or down to Worsted weight if necessary to ensure fit. DPNs recommended, but will work on a 16” circular, though DPNs will be needed for decreases.

The project will take almost the entire skein of yarn. If you want a pom-pom, I would wait to make it until after the rest of the items are knitted, it ensure you will have enough yarn to finish the knitting.

Specific, easy-to-follow instructions take the worry out of construction, and so this pattern could probably be knitted by a fairly new knitter.

Stitches used in hat include: Knit and purl, K2tog, SSK, P2tog, Sk2P, and also M1L, and M1R.
