Willow Cardi ~ Knitalong Kit
$288.00
Welcome to the Fall 2025 Knitalong! Our knitalongs are a wonderful way to learn and grow in new ways. We accomplish this through in depth video classes that match the exact pattern you're working on, around the clock support from our expert coaches and accountability and connection from other creativity loving makers. It's about learning new things, diving deep into our most creative selves and of course, having a lot of fun along the way too!
The Fall 2025 knitalong will be hosted entirely on our app, which means everything is available in one, easy to navigate space. If you have yarn or want to source yarn locally, you can join the knitalong with the virtual experience here!
Watch the videos below to learn what sets them apart in detail.
About the Pattern:
The Willow Cardi is a textured, eye-catching cardigan that is worked flat in one piece, horizontally across the body, beginning with the right cuff and ending with the left cuff. It is worked entirely in a feather and fan lace pattern, changing colors/yarns, and creating wavy stripes. The sleeves and sides are seamed together to form the body and both a bottom hem and an applied front neckline edging complete it. This is a wonderful design for all levels of knitters, and a perfect piece for beginner lace knitters to shine.
Here's what you can expect in our knitalong:

Where anything feels possible
Meet the Spinners
Over the course of the last 13 years, we've created our own little cottage industry within the Indian economy where 16 Indian women create our yarns! There’s just so much that goes into each and every skein and none of it would be possible without this team, right here, making it all happen. One of my favorite things about being there is that anything feels possible. Read more on the blog: India Team + Trip Recap.
