Are you ready for this year’s mystery knit-a-long?

Welcome to join Joona Höri Designs 2026 MKAL, where we knit the Purler sweater. For this year, we are going to deep dive into cables and textures. A great motto to reflect this sweater pattern is: if you like cables and you’re not afraid of them, you’re gonna love it! Starting on October 16th, in the next 7 weeks, we’ll focusing on twisting those stitches into different cables, and after the MKAL, you’ll have a finished sweater right before the Holiday season starts.
