"Summer Vestival" Knit-along!
Starts June 7

Turn Your Favorite Knitspot Sweater Into a Vest!

This summer, we’re turning up the cool factor—literally. Join us for the Summer Vestival Knit-Along and transform your go-to Knitspot sweater pattern into a breezy, sleeveless vest or top. It’s the perfect lightweight remix for warm-weather layering!

Grab your KAL pass and let’s make it sleeveless and fabulous!
