Join the Community: Oh La Lana! Knit-A-Longs

There is something truly magical about hundreds of knitters around the world working on the same stitches at the same time. At Oh La Lana!, our Knit-A-Longs (KALs) are more than just patterns—they are community events designed to help you build your skills, one block at a time.

Whether you are an absolute beginner picking up needles for the first time or a seasoned knitter looking for a relaxing textured project, you’ll find a home here.

How our KALs work:

Most of our KAL projects focus on modular knitting—creating individual squares that eventually come together to form a beautiful sampler blanket.

• Accessibility: I specialize in “Knit and Purl” textures that create complex-looking designs using only the most basic stitches.
• Flexibility: Our squares are designed to be compatible. You can mix and match blocks from different years to create a truly custom blanket.
• Support: Each KAL is backed by the Oh La Lana! Academy resources, with clear charts, tips, and assembly guides.
