Mystery Blanket Club 2025: post 7, August
Debbie AbrahamsHELLO AND WELCOME TO THE SEVENTH INSTALMENT OF THE 2025 MYSTERY BLANKET CLUB! I assume that many of you are in holiday mode and ready for a long awaited summer break. So if you are getting ready to pack your bags, don’t forget to include your Mystery Blanket knitting – there are five squares to knit this month which is the perfect amount to take away with you for your summer holiday knitting!
Our own holiday plans are on hold at the moment as our dear little kitten Lemmy has been diagnosed with a terminal illness. So we are taking each day as it comes and enjoying every day that we have with him. At this time of year the garden looks so pretty, and when the sun shines it’s the perfect place for me to sit and knit. So wherever we are and whatever we do this month, we will make the most of every day and enjoy our time together as a family.
On a more positive note, we had a wonderful time at my nieces wedding in July at a beautiful location called Highley Manor in West Sussex. The sun shone all day, and I was very proud to wear my Beaded Bolero which my test knitter and good friend Mary knitted for me especially for Claire and Ross’ big day! If you like the look of this little jacket it’s in my 25 Beaded Knits book – a pattern that I had completely forgotten about until I began my search for a bolero! Mary worked day and night to get it completed in time, and for that I am eternally grateful (thank you Mary!). Below you can see me and my two sisters, Julia and Jenny. And then a pic of the gorgeous bride, Claire with my dear parents.
Intro to August patterns
So let’s take a look now at what I have in store for you this month. The selection of squares for August are a mixture of old and new, so you will recognise a few but there are some new challenges too. One of the new squares has Japanese short-row shaping in it, which is one of my most favourite knitting techniques. It’s the stitch pattern that creates gentle undulating horizontal waves and I have used it in several other projects before including the Fraggle Rock Cowl. However, if this technique is new to you, we have added to our Tutorials a tech vid for this, so don’t panic, help is at hand if needed! The link at the top of the list below will take you straight to the vid, or you can access it via the Tutorials link at the top of our homepage.

THE AUGUST PRINTED PATTERNS HAVE BEEN POSTED TO THE MEMBERS WHO OPTED FOR THEM. I managed to get them sent in much better time than last month, which hopefully means they have all been delivered.
The overseas patterns were posted from the 25th July and the UK from the 28th July. So depending on how efficient your local sorting office are, if they haven’t arrived yet, they will be with you very soon.
AN ERROR HAS BEEN SPOTTED IN THE AUGUST FILE – BUT IT’S ONLY IN THE PRINTED PATTERNS. Unfortunately it was noticed after the file went to print, however, we caught it in time to correct it in the digital file. So the digital file – the one you can download from your Debbie Abrahams account – has been corrected.
The error is on page 13, it’s the chart for Square 40, Shoal. All of the chart is correct except for the embroidery. Members that have the printed patterns will find a loose sheet in their brochure of page 13. This separate sheet has the correct chart on it, so you will need to work from this rather than from the chart that is printed in the brochure.
Hopefully that’s all clear, but if there is any confusion, please get in touch with me for clarification: debbie@debbieabrahams.com

THE COUNTDOWN IS ON FOR THE 2026 MYSTERY BLANKET CLUB! Sign-ups for my brand new KAL open at the end of August, so if you’ve enjoyed knitting this year’s blanket, the fun doesn’t have to stop here! You can look forward to my exciting new knitting adventure which kicks off in February.
Above: 2024 Mystery Blanket, The Enchanted Forest.
For each new blanket I focus on a totally different theme, and try and make it as different as I can to the previous year’s design, which not only gives you a refreshing new project to work on, but for me it’s great to have a drastic change of direction too. So you can probably guess that next year’s colours are far from quiet and peaceful, like this year’s blanket. The 2026 colour palette is vibrant and super colourful, with vibrant pinks, teal, sunshine yellow, emerald green and rich red contrasted against brilliant white and deep indigo blue. There’ll be lots of interesting stitch patterns, some beautiful cables, stripes, beads, fairisle and intarsia, so it’s a knitting journey you won’t want to miss out on if colour is your thing!
Above: an idea of the colour palette for the 2026 Mystery Blanket.
I am super excited to be back working with James Laxton and his wonderful team in West Yorkshire in the UK, who are working hard on producing my Light Merino Wool DK in a range of eleven new bespoke colours for the Mystery Blanket. And I am combining these gorgeous yarns with some of my favourites from the Rowan collection – Felted Tweed, Soft Yak and Pure Alpaca. So you’re in for a real treat next year, with a combination of the most luxurious yarns combined together in one project to create another unique Debbie blanket – how can you resist that!?!
Above: 2017 Mystery Blanket, Retrospective.
We will be running an Early Bird special offer for everyone who signs up by the end of September with some super benefits that will make your membership all the more sweeter! And if you decide to opt for our Splitit payment plan, you can still take advantage of our Early Bird offer. Details of this, and everything else you need to know about my exciting new Mystery Blanket will be sent to you in an email, so keep an eye on your inbox. And all being good, if you decide to climb aboard, our knitting journey together will continue next year. And I just can’t wait for that to begin, can you?!?
IF YOU WANT TO JOIN US IN BOURNEMOUTH THIS NOVEMBER FOR OUR INSPIRED MINDS FESTIVE WORKSHOP, THEN WE HAVE ONE INLAND DOUBLE/TWIN ROOM AVAILABLE. This will be a workshop co-run with the lovely Jane Crowfoot, who will take care of the crochet while I look after the knitting. We design a new project which is festive themed, and during the three-day workshop (28th-30th November) you not only get to work on the project with all the guidance you need from Jane and I, but there’s the opportunity too to explore Bournemouth for a bit of festive shopping. To book on, simply visit our Inspired Minds website, and we’ll look forward to seeing you in November! https://www.inspiredminds-uk.com/workshops-1
THERE IS ONLY ONE LETTER LEFT TO ADD TO THE LETTER PUZZLE AND THE TITLE OF THE MYSTERY BLANKET WILL BE REVEALED IN FULL! So, this month I am not going to add anything else to it, and if you are still trying to guess what it is, then you will have to take a look at the squares you’ve knitted so far to get some more clues.
T H _ / S _ A S H O R _
The final reveal is coming soon, so make sure you tune into my November blog in a few months time to find out all about the inspiration for this year’s design. It’s been a fascinating blanket to design, and I can’t wait to share my journey with you!
THERE ARE FIVE SQUARES TO KNIT THIS MONTH:
Square 24, Sediment – multi-coloured wave pattern using Japanese short-row shaping with embroidered details (same for both options):
Square 32, Shingle & Pebbles – moss stitch and stocking stitch stripes with contrast-coloured bobbles (same for both options):
Square 33, Fishbones – lace stitch with hooked-in beads (same for both options):
Square 40, Shoal (opt 1) – intarsia motifs with slip-stitch beads, Swiss-darning and chain stitch embroidery:
Square 40, Shoal Stripe (opt 2) – garter stitch stripes alternated with stocking stitch stripes:
Square 41, Secluded Cove 2 – slip stitch pattern with hooked-in beads {same for both options):
On each pattern page there is a list of Pattern notes and tips that are worth reading before you start to knit each square. These bits of advice will help you and give pre-warnings as to what to look out for in the pattern instructions. Also take note of the description under the title of each square as this tells you what the stitch structure is.
In this instalment there are a few repeats or variations of squares you have knitted before, however, there are two new squares to knit too…
SQUARE 24, SEDIMENT: this new square in the blanket combines Japanese short-row shaping with garter stitch stripes and a touch of embroidery in soft shades of sand and blue.
Videos to watch for assistance with this square:
- NEW! Japanese short-row shaping (Tutorials: Fancy Stitches).
- Picking up stitches to begin a new square (Tutorials: Knitting Basics).
- Mattress stitch (horizontal) (Tutorials: Knitting Basics).
- Chain stitch embroidery (Tutorials: Embroidery Techniques).
This soft undulating pattern is created by working and turning to create gentle horizontal waves and is one of my favourite knitting techniques. If you are new to it then I would advise that you watch my tech vid before you begin which demonstrates how you work and turn on one row (Row 5 of this square) and then close the gaps on the following row (Row 6 of this square). I also show you how to turn the work, attach a marker, remove a marker and close a gap. The tech vid shows me working on a square from the 2024 Mystery Blanket, however, the techniques used are the same for this square, so although I am working with different colours, you can still follow this tech vid for guidance.
Here are a few extra tips to help you knit this square...
When working the stitch after you’ve attached a marker, make sure that you hold the marker against the work and knit/purl the next stitch firmly so that the marker sits tight against the work.
· When you remove the marker, pull firmly on the loop and make sure that it is not twisted as you place it on the left needle.
As well as watching the tech vid I would also advise that you read the Pattern notes and tips for this square which are on page 5 of the mail out, where you will find more advice about how to knit this square.
If you look closely at the image on page 5, you will see that there is some chain stitch embroidery on rows 18 and 46. It is very subtle, but they add extra colour and texture to the square. There is a tech vid for this if you need some assistance with chain stitch. This embroidery is, however, optional, so if you don’t want to add it, you don’t have to.
There are a few alternatives to Japanese short-row shaping, such as wrap and turn, and German short-rows. So if you are more comfortable using a different technique to knit this pattern, that is absolutely fine. As long as you get the same result, it does not matter how you knit it.
SQUARE 32, SHINGLE & PEBBLES: a mixture of stocking stitch and moss stitch stripes are interspersed with multi-coloured bobbles.
Videos to watch for assistance with this square:
- Picking up stitches to begin a new square (find it in Tutorials).
- Mattress stitch, horizontal (find it in Tutorials).
- How to carry yarns up the side of the work (find it in Tutorials).
- How to knit contrast-coloured bobbles (find it in Tutorials).
If you look back a couple of months to the May instalment, you’ll recognise this square and either remember it as one you loved knitting or one that you didn’t! That’s because it has contrast-coloured bobbles in it, and there are a lot of them. Squares like this are time consuming because of the extra techniques used in them – like the contrast-coloured bobbles in this square – which makes them labour intensive. However, with a whole month ahead of you to knit your five August squares, there needn’t be any rush. So relax and enjoy it and I am sure you will find, with all the right preparation done ahead of casting on, you will be fine. (And you might grow to love it!)
For the bobbles you need to pre-cut lengths of yarn (instructions are on page 8), and each separate length is used to knit one bobble. These lengths are introduced into the work on the row before the bobbles are knitted - so on a wrong side row - and the stitch is purled. These instructions are included in the pattern, so you don’t need to worry, I’m just giving you a heads-up before you begin knitting it. There is a tech vid for how to knit a contrast-coloured bobble, so if you need some guidance, head off to the Tutorials section on our website to take a look.
One thing to watch out for, and it’s an easy mistake to make, is the change to the colour sequence of the bobbles for the second row of them (the first repeat of Rows 8 and 9). You need to work this second row of bobbles following Rows 34 and 35 and not Rows 8 and 9. You will see in the image on page 8 that the colours of the bobbles are the same on the first and third row, but they are different on the second row (across the middle of the square).
Just a reminder that there are two needle sizes used to knit this square, with the smaller needles (2.50mm) needed for the rows of moss stitch. This will keep the stitches neat and even otherwise they could look uneven and a bit loose.
If you looked at this square and thought, oh no! – contrast-coloured bobbles!!! – you could opt out of knitting them and knit all the bobbles using Linen instead. Or alternatively you could omit them altogether, simply ignore the instructions for them, and knit all the stitches in stocking stitch. It will of course depend on what you did for Square 18 – that is if you want them to match - so I will leave that decision up to you!
SQUARE 33, FISHBONES: basic lace stitches are combined with hooked-in beads to create a pretty all-over pattern.
Videos to watch for assistance with this square:
- Picking up stitches to begin a new square: (Tutorials: Knitting Basics).
- Mattress stitch, horizontal: (Tutorials: Knitting Basics).
- Square 17, Fishbones (Tutorials: Mystery Blanket 2025).
- Understanding lace stitches (Tutorials: Fancy Stitches).
- Hooked-in beads (Tutorials: Beading Techniques).
This is a straight repeat of Square 17, so here are a few reminders about what to watch out for…
The great thing about this square is that there are just two rows in this pattern which are repeated throughout the whole square. On the odd numbered rows you will be doing most of the work and creating eyelets by bringing the yarn forward between the needles (yf) and leaving it there at the front of the work as you work the next stitch. It is essential that you leave the yarn at the front of the work at this point, otherwise you won’t achieve the increase (yarn over). If you need some guidance on how to knit lace stitches then there is a tech vid in our Tutorials which shows all the different combinations of increases and decreases, including yf, skpo and K2tog which are used in this square.
There is no variable stitch count, despite the increases and decreases in the pattern repeat. This is because the number of increases in each row matches the number of decreases, so the stitch count remains the same throughout.
Probably the trickiest thing about this pattern is the hooking-in of the beads between the yarn forwards (yf). You need to make sure that after you’ve hooked in the bead, you keep the yarn at the front of the work as you knit the beaded stitch. The yarn can very easily fall to the back of the work, and if it does, you won’t achieve the increase. So be sure to take extra care at this point in the pattern.
The pattern instructs you to work 52 rows in total, or knit until it measures 18cm. When you knitted this square the first time around, hopefully you kept a count of how many rows you worked. But if you didn’t, simply count the number of beaded rows and make sure that your Square 33 has the same number as Square 17 so that they match.
SQUARE 40, SHOAL (opt 1): fish motifs with beaded and embroidered details are knitted in a variety of colours on a stocking stitch background.
Videos to watch for assistance with this square:

· Mattress stitch (horizontal) (Tutorials: Knitting Basics)
· How to knit intarsia (find it in Tutorials).
· How to bead, the slip-stitch method (find it in Tutorials).
· Chain stitch (Tutorials: Embroidery On Knitting)
· How to add Swiss-darning to your knitting (Tutorials: Embroidery on Knitting)
There are two options for this square, and your choice will depend on which option you chose for Square 38. I would advise that you choose the same option, however, if you don’t want to knit the fish and prefer Option Two, that’s fine, but make sure that you choose the same option for Square 10 that you knit for this square (Square 10 has not been released yet).
This is the third intarsia square in the blanket, and if you look at the Piecing Diagrams on page 4, you should be able to work out from my very symmetrical layout that Squares 10, 12, 28 and very possibly 25 (?!?) will also be intarsia.
My intarsia tech vid will guide you through the basics of this technique, and in it I demonstrate how to join in a new colour in the middle of a row and how to cross the yarns to avoid gaps at the colour changes. These are the two most important techniques to master with intarsia, and there are plenty of colour changes in this square to give you some practise!
As with all intarsia patterns, I always take a good look at the chart before I cast on to work out how many separate balls of yarn I need to prep. Remember that for each new section of colour you will need to introduce a new ball of yarn to avoid carrying yarns across the back of the work – you are aiming for a single thickness multi-colour fabric. So several balls of the background colour (Linen) will be needed, with the second ball being introduced on Chart Row 3. On this same row you will need to introduce a second ball of Plain for the fish's tail, plus Silver Haze for the fish at the bottom right-hand side of the chart. On Chart Row 13 you will need to reintroduce a ball of Linen after cutting it off on Row 9 (unless you carry it up the back of the work?). And then on Chart Row 20 (after carrying Linen across the back of stitches 36-45), you have two rows of plain Linen – yay!
I am not going to talk you through every row in this square, but hopefully with the tips above you can begin to work out for yourself where new balls are needed. There are no rights or wrongs about how you knit this square, there are just some decisions which are preferable to others. All you need to bear in mind is that carrying across of yarns at the back of the work should be minimal and only done when you need to move a yarn across a row to use again on that same row or on the row above.
I always get asked how much yarn to wind off for each section, but this can be quite tricky to answer. One way that you can gauge it very approximately is to count the number of stitches in the section you are winding off yarn for, and then to wind the yarn around the needle that number of times, plus 5-6 inches. Alternatively, what I usually do is fill up a bobbin as much as I can, and then any yarn which is left over I keep for other squares, sewing up or embroidery.
Oh, and don’t forget to thread beads onto the yarns for all the fishes before you join in the yarns. Instructions for this are on page 12. You need to make sure that you join in the correct ball of yarn with the correct beads on it for the correct fish, otherwise you’ll have to unwind the ball and thread them on from the other end – it’s a solution but a bit of a nuisance to do!
Remember that the chart on page 13 in the printed patterns only has an addendum – the embroidery is incorrect and has been tweaked on the separate page included with your brochure. However, if you are working from the digital file, the embroidery details are correct.
All of the embroidery should be added to the square after it has been blocked and pressed as it is far easier (and more pleasing) to embroider onto a smooth, flat surface rather than onto one that is slightly uneven – however neat your intarsia is, there will be some slight discrepancies. Use the chart for positioning and colours of yarn to be used, but feel free to go off-piste if preferred and do your own thing instead. The chart serves as guidance only and does not have to be followed to the exact stitch. And if you don’t fancy doing the embroidery at all then you can leave it off – the choice is up to you.
The two swirls in Mushroom are embroidered using chain stitch. And the details on the fishes are Swiss-darned. The colours for the Swiss-darning are written onto the chart for easy reference. If you need assistance for either of these techniques, there is a tech vid for each of them in Tutorials.
This is a labour-intensive square which won’t be quick to knit. So if you decide to go for this option, get yourself prepped and ready in your most comfortable chair and space, and enjoy every stitch. It will be a great achievement when it’s completed!
SQUARE 40, SHOAL STRIPE (opt 2): this is the alternative option to Shoal and combines garter stitch stipes with stocking stitch stripes in colours that graduate from light to dark.
Videos to watch for assistance with this square:
- Picking up stitches to begin a new square: (Tutorials: Knitting Basics).
- Mattress stitch, horizontal: (Tutorials: Knitting Basics).
- How to carry yarns up the side of the work (Tutorials: Knitting Basics).
· My advice for which option to knit is the same as for Option One - your choice will depend on which option you chose for Square 38. Just make sure that you choose the same option for Square 10 that you knit for this square (Square 10 has not been released yet).
There are two needle sizes needed for this square which are listed in the boxed info on page 14 - they are 2.50mm and 3.25mm. These are different to the suggested main needle size for the blanket, which is 3.50mm, so if you are using different size needles to this, you will need to downsize them accordingly (see the Patterns notes and tips on page 14). These needle size changes are really important as the stitch and row tension of garter stitch (the stripes in Mushroom and Linen), and the stocking stitch stripes between them are very different to each other. Garter stitch has a looser stitch tension and a denser row tension than stocking stitch, so if you stay on the larger size needles, your garter stitch stripes will be too loose, resulting in a square which is too wide and too long.
In the Patterns notes and tips on page 14 you are advised to carry Mushroom and Linen up the side of the work. All of the other yarns in this square have to be cut off as they are only used once, so by carrying Linen and Mushroom up the side of the work, the amount of loose ends will be minimised.
SQUARE 41, SECLUDED COVE 2: stitches are slipped in groups of two to create a multi-colour pattern in contrasting shades of grey and blue.
Videos to watch for assistance with this square:
- Picking up stitches to begin a new square: (find it in Tutorials).
- Mattress stitch, horizontal: (find it in Tutorials).
- How to carry yarns up the side of the work (find it in Tutorials).
- Hooked-in beads (find it in Tutorials).
This square is similar to Square 9 from the May mail-out with just one small change. The rows that were knitted using Silt are swapped to Indigo, but all of the other colours of yarn (and beads) remain the same.
The stitch pattern is created by slipping stitches while knitting with a contrast colour. Stitches are slipped in groups of two, and individually, ie, one by one rather than two stitches together at the same time. They must be slipped purlwise (sl2p) to avoid twisting them.
The contrast-coloured lozenge shapes may look the same size as each other, but there are actually variations in the number of rows that are worked in Stonewash, Indigo and Plain. This is because Denim Revive (Stonewash and Indigo) have a smaller row count to 10cm than Soft Yak (Plain).
Pebble beads are hooked in on rows 9, 17, 35 and their subsequent repeats, however, they are very difficult to see on the image on page 16. It is also worth mentioning the second Pattern note and tip (also on page 16), which advises that the stitch onto which the bead is hooked is purled, even though you are on a RS row.
And that’s all my extra tips and tricks for this month!
JO RAWLINS FROM NORWICH, UK, HAS BEEN VERY BUSY KNITTING UP VARIOUS PROJECTS, and sent in these lovely pictures of her most recent achievement – the Fraggle Rock Cowl!
Jo has also recently completed a lovely jacket using West Yorkshire Spinners yarn and pattern...
I am sure it will look super on you Jo, just like the Fraggle Rock Cowl – what a wonderful photo, thank you for sharing this with us!
