This *Twelve Days of Knitmas Mystery Knit-Along* (MKAL) is our FIFTH annual *let's-spend-this-awkward-post-holiday-time-knitting-together-and-shaking-off-the-stress-of-the-season* MKAL. Simply put, it's a twelve-day mystery knit-along full of fun and friendship, and at the end of it, you have a beautiful project to gift or keep. **Where can I participate?** You can find us hanging out in our [Facebook][4] and [Ravelry][5] groups, and would love for you to join us there! We have a wonderfully kind community where all are welcome.
 If Instagram is more your speed, share project posts using #twelvedaysofknitmasmkal so we can check them out! **Can you give us any hints?** Sure thing! This year’s Knitmas project is a luxurious Moebius cowl full of textured motifs to keep your fingers happily knitting row after row! **Can you help me choose colorway combinations?** Absolutely! We originally curated six Knitmas Kits featuring Emma's Yarn. They are a great reference when choosing your colors. You will need one skein of fluffy laceweight yarn for your MC and six coordinating mini-skeins of fingering weight yarn for your CCs. We used Suri Silk for our MC and Practically Perfect Smalls for our CCs. **Pattern Details** **Size:** 8.75”/ 22cm wide, approximately 29”/ 74cm circumference. **Needles:** US 5/ 3.75mm or size to obtain gauge in SS, and US 6/ 4.0mm or size to obtain gauge in colorwork.* Use your preferred needles for working in the round. I found that a 16” circular needle was perfect. You will need two circular needles in your gauge size to work the graft. *It is recommended to change needle sizes if you are new to colorwork (the pattern is simple, don’t worry!), or have tighter stitches when knitting colorwork. **Gauge:** 21 stitches and 28 rows = 4”/ 10cm over Stockinette Stitch and colorwork. **Yarn:** lace weight* in MC; 328 yds/ 50g MC; fingering weight in six colors; 80 yds/ 20g each CC1, CC2, CC3, CC4, CC5, CC6. *If substituting for the MC, a fluffy lace weight such as Mohair Silk or Suri Silk, or a fingering weight is recommended. You will also need approximately 4 yards/ 2g of scrap yarn in a contrasting color. Non-sticky yarn in fingering weight is ideal. **Notions:** stitch markers, tapestry needle, blocking supplies, crochet hook in similar or slightly larger size than your gauge needle. **Sample knit in:** Nomadic Knits Twelve Days of Knitmas 2023 kits. 1 skein: Emma’s Yarn Suri Silk (74% Suri Alpaca, 26% Silk); 328 yards/ 50g) 6 skeins: Emma’s Yarn Practically Perfect Smalls (80% Superwash Merino, 20% Nylon); 81 yards /20g > Join us in the [Nomadic Knits](/groups/nomadic-knits) Ravelry group or the Nomadic Knits > [Facebook group][7] to share your progress > and cheer one another on!
