The Purl-Pal Project is a first-of-its-kind collaborative knitting collection. Six designers each made a Blank Canvas Pattern, and every one is built around the same 6” × 6” square.

These aren’t strict, follow-every-line patterns. They’re flexible frameworks. You knit modular squares with matching finished edges, then choose what goes in them. Swap squares. Mix techniques. Make it yours.

No two finished projects will look exactly alike. Your journey deserves a story.

The six patterns

• Ladder Up, a shawl by Yvonne Poon
• Diamond State, a kerchief-style cowl by Gabrielle Augustine
• GeoHood, a hooded scarf by Jenny Luna (Kounting Sheep)
• Stained Glass, a vest by Carla Cuadros
• Fresh Pick Patchwork, a market bag by Nicole Hawkesford
• The Pinwheel, an A-line skirt by Galaxy Salo (Nova)

How it works

Each design is a canvas made from interchangeable squares. Squares from the Knit Your Own Adventure Summit swatches fit right in, or you can pick any knitting technique that you want to learn - be it from a swatch dictionary, Pinterest, or you’re just playing around with your needles - you can try a new technique in a small swatch and use it in a real project.

Good to know

• Written instructions come with every chart
• Each pattern lists the techniques used instead of a skill level
• Samples were knit in Paintbox Yarns Wool Mix Aran
• Squares just need to measure 6” × 6” after blocking. Exact gauge matters for the parts that aren’t squares.
