ADVENT SHAWL YARN: Yarn Advent containing 24 fingering weight mini skeins, 20g each, for a total of about 2200 yards.

The Last Place You Look is a one-clue mystery shawl pattern. Great for mini-skeins, yarn advents, gradients, or leftovers, but would work in a solid color as well.

This pattern works with any yarn, any gauge. Use 200 grams for a regular shawl, or up to 500 grams for a giant shawl. The size can be adjusted as you go.

I’m using fingering weight yarn and a US 4/3.5mm needle for my sample.

Bump in the Night is a spooky, ONE CLUE, simple mystery shawl pattern. Beginner friendly, or a good palette cleanser for more advanced knitters. Any yarn, any gauge. Use about 200-400 grams of fingering weight, sport, dk, or worsted weight with the recommended needle size. Simply knit until the shawl reaches the size you want. Solids, semi-solids, and variegated/multi-color yarns would all work. This pattern would showcase a fade or gradient especially well.
