Fall '25 Virtual Knit Along with Knot Another Hat
We're gearing up for a Fall Knit Along (KAL) to kick off knitting season! This year we've chosen a pick-a-pattern format featuring the popular Tin Can Knits designs. While you can choose any TCK pattern you'd like, we'll be focusing on Flax, Love Note, Gramps and the Antler Toque (the Antler pattern collection includes a hat, mittens, pullover, and cardigan). More details below, sign up to join us here:
Tin Can Knits is known for clear, irresistible knitting patterns and collections, and many of their patterns are sized from baby to up to 6XL adult. They offer many helpful tutorials on their website. TCK also has a new app and their Simple Collection patterns (which are free and include Flax) are available in the app. Learn more about the app here.
Our wonderful host Ingrid will lead the KAL! It will kickoff with a Zoom meetup on Saturday, September 6 at 10:00am PT (11:00am MT, 12:00pm CT, 1:00pm ET), followed by three more Zoom get-togethers. Meetups will be recorded and replays made available to participants. Full schedule:
Meetup #1: Sat, Sept 6 - 10:00am PT (11:00am MT, 12:00pm CT, 1:00pm ET)
Meetup #2: Thurs, Sept 11 - 10:00am PT

Hi, I am so excited to do this KAL with you all! I started this sweater some months ago, and promptly got stuck with the math around the collar and the stitch count discrepancies between the hard copy pattern (bought earlier) and the newer app version. Can’t wait to get going with everyone- thanks for doing this!
