2026 DOODLE CARDIGAN KAL

2026 Doodle Cardigan Knit-Along (KAL)

Featuring the Doodle Cardigan by Whitney Terrell

We’re thrilled to kick off our first Knit-Along of 2026 with the Doodle Cardigan, a playful, design by Whitney Terrell. Whether you’re joining us in the shop or knitting along from afar, this KAL is designed to bring community, creativity, and confidence to your knitting.

This is a hybrid KAL, welcoming both local, in-person knitters and virtual participants from anywhere.

What Is the Doodle Cardigan KAL?

A guided, community-driven knit-along where you’ll:

Knit the Doodle Cardigan at your own pace
Learn directly from designer Whitney Terrell
Share progress, ask questions, and stay motivated
Connect with fellow knitters—locally and virtually

This KAL is about progress, not pressure. Come to what you can, knit how you knit, and enjoy the journey.
