It’s a mystery knitalong! With a mystery knitalong, the pattern is separated into sections which are released to participating knitters on a schedule (see below). If you purchase this pattern prior to Oct. 15, 2025, you will initially receive a pdf with pattern info but not the pattern yet.

Get ready to dive under the sea and spend time with mermaids! We will travel down from the ocean's surface to the reef where mermaids dance. This luxurious wrap's engaging stitch patterns take their inspiration from aspects of the underwater world in the accompanying story of the annual Mermaid Dance.
The knitalong fun will take place on Ravelry, with chat threads so that you can get to know the other knitters, share photos, cheer each other on, and ask questions any time.
Yarn kits are available from Purple Lamb Fiber Arts. More info about yarn and other supplies is below.
When you purchase this pattern prior to Oct. 15, 2025, you will initially receive a pdf containing information about the pattern, yarn, and format.
The first set of knitting instructions, or clue, will be released on Oct. 15, and with each clue, you will receive the next set of instructions. The website does not do this automatically; you will have to provide your email address in order to receive each update. Alternatively, if you have a Ravelry account, you can provide your Ravelry handle and receive updates automatically to your Ravelry library.
What to expect from the shawl pattern:
* Crescent shape
* Lace and colorwork
* Each stitch pattern is fully written out and charted
* Closeup photos of each stitch pattern and stitch counts every time there is a change, so you’ll always know you’re on track.
* Videos that demonstrate techniques
* User-friendly, detailed instructions, with stitch counts provided any time there is a change.
* Helpful tips: The pattern includes instructions for correcting a missed yarn over (we all make mistakes!), links for fixing a dropped edge stitch, and links for using lifelines, which make it much easier to go back and fix your knitting, if necessary.
* Sizing options: The pattern provides several different opportunities with specific instructions for increasing the size of the shawl if you wish.
This pattern has been tech edited and test knitted to give you a smooth, error-free knitting experience.
To get an idea of the shawl's vibe, check out my prior 2-color MKAL patterns, including Gift of the Mermaid, Fairy Correspondence Shawl, and Fairies in the Snow.
