Sweater Camp 2026 KAL - Happy Camp Sweater

*This free knit-a-long is open exclusively to Sweater Camp 2026 attendees.*

Are you going to Sweater Camp 2026?

We have something fun to get you excited in the last few months leading up to camp!

Anyone fancy a knit-a-long? :)

*****
Important to note:) You absolutely DO NOT need to knit this sweater, or any sweater to have a great time at Sweater Camp.

Campers do all kinds of projects and crafts at camp. You can work on cowls, socks, hats, crocheted creatures, or sweaters. It's up to you!

This is just an added item for fun to those that want to make a sweater!!

Our friend and local Minnesota-based designed Brienne Moody has come through with another gorgeous design to help us get excited for our favorite event of the year. 

'Happy Camp' is a top-down, round yoke pullover with oscillating sections of stranded, short-float colorwork and stockinette stitch. A combination of three colors makes the floral and zig-zag motifs fly by, and work with multiple different kinds of yarn styles and dyes.
