Mystery MusiKAL by Stephen West

Kits by Sheep Graffiti.  Each Kit contains 400 yards of each color.

The 16th annual Westknits MKAL is here, and this year we’re knitting in four-part harmony! You’ll need four contrasting colors of fingering weight yarn to compose your masterpiece. Go for a subtle gradient that whispers like a gentle ballad, or a set of bold, clashing shades that bring down the house. Your Mystery MusiKAL shawl will crescendo into a show-stopping finale!

Size & Finished Measurements

The overall shape and dimensions are part of the mystery! Mystery MusiKAL Shawl will be a similar size to last year’s Go Go Dynamo Shawl. There is an option at the end of the knit along to customize to final size, so you can stop early for a smaller size or maximize your yarn and knit a larger final clue.



Yarn

Fingering weight

If you want to add a Mohair Dare to your shawl, then read the Mohair Dare page of this PDF to add some optional fluffy goodness to your Mystery MusiKAL.



Recommended Yarns 

You can use plied or single ply yarns. This year’s shawl works well with lots of different fingering weight yarn types and fiber contents.
