Sherlock's Great Afghan Adventure - Mystery KAL
Welcome to [Sherlock's Great Afghan Adventure][1], an exciting year-long mystery read and knit-along designed specifically for passionate crafters and fans of detective fiction! Featuring a captivating new afghan motif each month, each square is inspired by one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's beloved short stories. Kicking off on March 15, 2014, this unique project promises to bring joy and intrigue to every participant, making it a perfect blend of knitting and mystery for avid readers and adventurous knitters alike. Whether you’re an adventurous beginner or an intermediate fiber warrior, the supportive community surrounding this project will answer your questions and cheer you on every step of the way!
The pattern consists of 12 individual squares, each knitted flat, which you will eventually seam together to create a stunning afghan. Once your squares are assembled, you'll also learn how to apply a beautiful border, which will add a polished finish to your project. Each square's instructions are thoughtfully written and charted, ensuring clarity and ease for knitters of all skill levels. While gauge is not critical for this particular project, feel free to use different weight yarns and needle sizes – just maintain consistency in your gauge throughout the entire Afghan adventure!
We recommend using solid, semi-solid, or shaded colorways for a stunning visual impact. While my own project will feature a cohesive one-color theme, you’re encouraged to get creative and mix it up! Several of the squares offer excellent opportunities for showcasing a blend of vibrant colors or unique textures. Join us in this delightful knitting journey, where each square not only serves as a cozy blanket but also as a tribute to the thrilling tales of Sherlock Holmes. Sign up today to engage with fellow knitters and embark on this entertaining and artistic challenge together!
