Welcome to the Fall 2020 Knitalong! Our knitalongs are wonderful way to learn and grow in new ways. We accomplish that through learning knitting skills, accountability (to stick to your knitting goal!), round the clock knitting support and connection with other like-minded makers. Watch the videos below to learn more. In video 3, I dive deep into how making knitting a priority in my life has changed me for the better. So I hope you'll consider joining in!

About the pattern:

Meet Glow Girl! This hooded cardigan is the perfect way to stay stylish and comfy all winter long! Worked flat from the bottom up in pieces, this cardigan is worked in a chevron pattern while mixing different types/colors of yarn to create colorful zig-zags. Sleeves and a hood are picked up and worked flat, finishing with a ribbed collar. This cardigan works up fast and is a joy to make!

This is a BONUS style for the Fall 2020 KAL. The video tutorials are for these four styles (not the Glow Girl Hoodie): Kaleidoscope Sweater, Plaid Party Cardi, Plaidtastic Scarf and the Flower Power Cardi. Of course we are here to help you at any time should you need it along the way :)
