Sherlock's Great Afghan Adventure III
For those unfamiliar with our Mystery Knit Along (MKAL), this exciting series provides several layout options for your beautiful afghan! The 12 square stand-alone version requires approximately 2,200 yards of yarn, creating a cozy afghan measuring about 68 inches by 42 inches. If you're looking for something larger, the 16 square version—which includes 12 captivating story squares plus 4 charming character squares—uses around 2,800 yards of yarn and results in a stunning 68-inch square. For those wanting an even more expansive project, the 20 square afghan (featuring 12 story squares plus 8 character squares) utilizes about 3,400 yards of yarn, making it a perfect fit for a queen or full-sized bed.
The sample afghan showcased in this MKAL is crafted using Madelinetosh Tosh Vintage, a wonderful, meaty yarn that offers exceptional stitch definition and is conveniently machine washable. This yarn not only provides incredible durability but also enhances the beauty of your handmade creation. Additionally, we've included a selection of alternative yarns to suit your preferences. It’s important to select a yarn that highlights your stitches beautifully, so we recommend opting for a solid or semi-solid colorway to achieve the best visual impact. Feel free to experiment with different yarn weights, but be sure to maintain consistent needle sizes throughout this delightful knitting adventure!
Join us in this engaging MKAL experience and transform your knitting skills while creating a stunning afghan that you’ll cherish for years to come!
