I hope you enjoy taking part in this latest Mystery Knit. 😊
The mystery is not really about what you will make - but more about how the stitch pattern will look.
This design works best with 2 quite strongly contrasting colours.
I had a good result with Royal Blue and White
and with Emerald Green and White.
Pale Pastel Pink and White was disappointing as there was not enough contract between the 2 colours.
HAVE FUN !
and remember NO PHOTOS PLEASE until I say so on Sunday .........
This means that others have a chance to knit this, with the Mystery still unspoiled.
