Join the Malabrigo Barnstable KAL – A Shawl You’ll Treasure
There’s something magical about knitting a project alongside makers all around the world-and the Malabrigo Barnstable KAL is the perfect way to join in.
This knit-along (KAL) has already started and runs until the end of the month, but there’s still plenty of time to cast on and knit along at your own pace.
The Pattern
The Barnstable Shawl is a stunning design by Lisa Hannes. With its flowing lines and cozy feel, it’s the kind of project that will quickly become a favorite. Whether you’re knitting for relaxation, for the joy of learning something new, or to wrap yourself in handmade comfort, this shawl fits beautifully into the rhythm of fall knitting.
Best of all-you can get the pattern free by signing up directly on the Malabrigo website.
Yarn & Kits
Malabrigo’s yarns are known for their rich, hand-dyed colors and softness. For this shawl, the yarn choice really makes the texture and design shine. If you want a quick start, there are Barnstable kits still available online:
(These may go fast, so be sure to grab one if you’ve had your eye on this project!)
Why Join a KAL?
Knitting in community adds encouragement, inspiration, and accountability. You’ll see other knitters’ color choices, progress photos, and tips along the way. Even if you’re just joining now, you’ll be part of a worldwide circle of makers creating the same shawl together.
Final Stitches
There’s no better time to cast on than now-this KAL only runs until the end of the month. Whether you knit at the group pace or in your own time, the Barnstable Shawl is a project worth making.
