This year long blanket MAL will include a whodunit mystery each month, including colors and charms inspired by your favorite lady detective from our favorite seaside town! We will be knitting the Northeasterly Blanket by Melissa Alexander-Loomis (knit version) and crocheting the Northeasterly blanket by Katy Stevens (crochet version). Join us for fun events, community, and take it step by step as we make a gorgeous throw together! Breaking blankets down into small goals throughout the year makes the larger project much less intimidating — and solving mysteries makes it fun!
We will be completing chevrons each month. This is an easy way to break down small bits of a blanket throughout the year and makes it amazingly easy to stay on task and finish! The mysteries each month keep it super fun and interesting to get to the next “clue.”
If you don’t specify knit or crochet, the default is knit.
Your first shipment will include what is listed below, plus the pattern and some extra goodies. It will ship in September. Your recurring charges for the year will begin on October 1st and you will be charged every 1st of the month for one year. Changes must be made two weeks before the 1st of each month.

*12 10g micro skeins in a DK-weight blend of 75/25 SW Merino/nylon
*A set of two SamsTinyTrinkets charms (IF YOU CHOOSE THIS OPTION)
*A card with the month’s mystery with scratch-off clues to solve the mystery as you knit and crochet chevrons

RULES for the MAL:
Your minis will be labeled 1-12
Each mini skein is a “clue.” When you knit or crochet up a chevron, scratch off the coordinating numbered clue in your detective sheet and post a photo on Instagram of your chevron using the hashtag #Letthemysteryunravelmal
Do not worry about revealing the clue on the detective sheet online; winning prizes is based solely on knitting or crocheting the 12 chevrons each month — the revealed clues are for the fun of unraveling the mystery only. If you get all 12 clues revealed in a given month and you post using the hashtag, you are entered for a monthly prize (this is not the same as the grand prize) it is in addition to grand prizes at the end. The winner will receive their prizes with their following shipment. We will announce monthly winners on Instagram and tag you.
You must finish and block the blanket to be entered for grand prizes by October 25, 2025.
