Hello, my beautiful rainbow! Today, we are releasing our fifth clue for our yearlong Mystery Knit Along blanket. Read on to learn more and to find out how you can still be a part of the fun!
Perseverance was designed by Jane Vanselous. She says, “Large projects can seem daunting, especially when they may stretch your skills. Breaking them up into manageable pieces is a great way to approach them. In this Mystery KAL blanket, you will work just one section at a time. Each section uses one color and focuses on one stitch pattern. Some of these will be repeated in later sections. Using this method, all you will need is a positive attitude, a willingness to learn, and a little perseverance to be successful!”
This pattern is an Adventurous Beginner level pattern and is for those knitters who are ready to learn some new skills or stitch combinations.
Perseverance is made with 12 skeins of our Enduring Worsted or Luster Worsted yarn. We will have two color options for each month – a cool color and a warm color.
-
- Unwilling Hero Enduring Worsted
-
- Unwilling Hero Luster Worsted
For May, the cool color is Unwilling Hero, and the warm color is Sumatran Tiger. However, you can make your blanket with any colors you choose. Please note, swatching is important to ensure that your blanket edges are even and that you have enough yardage to complete your monthly section, as you should only need one skein per clue.

- Sumatran Tiger Enduring Worsted

- Sumatran Tiger Luster Worsted
Every month, we will release a new clue for the pattern, so all you have to do is sign in and re-download the pattern each month when a new clue is released.
