Four Designers. Four Dyers. One Cause
20% of every purchase supports breast cancer research
For the 6th annual Knit for the Girls fundraiser, we asked four of our favorite designers to team up with four incredible indie dyers and create something you won't find anywhere else: original patterns paired with limited-edition colorways, made exclusively for this year's collection.
Each pairing brings together a designer's vision and a dyer's palette — created by artists who wanted to lend their craft to a cause that's touched so many of us.
The full collection launches on October 1st, 2026. Scroll down to meet each collaboration

Tetas Cowl
The Tetas cowl is a statement piece — bright and graphic. One can make it using different colours or make nipples as big/small/oddly shaped to highlight the diverse beauty of breasts — some small, some large, all part of who we are. The cowl is worked as a tube seamlessly in the round using stranded colourwork and ladderback jacquard. The ends of the tube are twisted by 180 degrees and connected with an invisible seam.

Cherry Bloom
Cherry Bloom is a soft, lacy shawlette in a tender shade of pink — the kind of pink that feels like a quiet bit of hope. It's a small project, but it carries a lot of feeling: lace that blooms stitch by stitch, a little reminder that good things grow slowly and gently, one row at a time. Whether you knit it for yourself, as a gift, or in honor of someone you love, Cherry Bloom is a shawlette meant to be worn often and cherished quietly. A small, soft thing, made with care, and full of hope.

Ruffle Socks
These socks are a tribute to the fancy little ruffle socks of childhood. Pair them with Mary Jane’s for a classic look, or perhaps some kicks if you’re feeling like a princess rockstar. These socks are knit top-down from cuff to toe. First, the cuff and leg are worked in rounds. Next, the heel flap and short row heel are worked in rows. Finally, the gusset and foot are worked in the round through to the decreases at the toe, which is grafted closed. The ruffles are picked up and worked last.
