What's A Knit-Along?

A Knit-Along (or “KAL”) is when a group of knitters work on the same project at the same time, learning from and supporting each other along the way. For this KAL, we'll be casting on for our Lightweight Raglan Pullover, a much-loved free pattern that uses either our Linen Quill or Cattail Silk. As you work, we'll send you monthly emails to keep you on track and will also invite you to quarterly meet-ups on Zoom for some real-time chats. 

What To Expect

The official cast on day is February 1st, 2022, but knitters can join at any time between February 1st and September 30th, 2022. The KAL will last eight months, with the goal to finish your Lightweight Raglan Pullover by September 30th, 2022. 

We'll be sending you emails full of useful info, including links to relevant tutorials and reminders about our giveaways. We’ll also be hosting monthly Zoom meeting for KAL-ers to see each other’s smiling faces and gorgeous WIPs! Click here to sign up for the next one, which is on Tuesday, May 24th at 7pm Eastern Standard Time.

Don’t worry if you’re joining after the official cast-on day. There’s plenty of time to catch up, and you’ll still receive emails and invites!

We’ll see each other’s progress on Instagram when you share your photos using the hashtags #PurlSohoKAL and #PurlSohoLightweightRaglanPullover. Be sure to also share your photos here by uploading them below. We can't wait to see what you make!

The Lightweight Raglan Pullover is great for first-time sweater knitters and adventurous beginners, but it's also a fun one for personal twists! Stripes? Yes, please! Ombré? Even better! Short sleeves, long sleeves, straight hem, ribbed edges… the sky’s the limit for modifications!
