JFM 2026 Knit Along
Knit with Us
It’s our favorite time of year—Festival sweater season! Join us for our fourth annual Knit Along (KAL) featuring the brand new 11:11 Sweater by Logan Laine, a modern take on a striped pullover designed for sport-weight yarn.
We're so happy to now also be including the 11:11 Mittens in this year's KAL!
The Patterns
The 11:11 Sweater and Mittens were designed by Logan Laine, who also happens to make yarn here at JFM. When we first saw the prototype of this eye-catching design, we knew we wanted to make it our 2026 knit along pattern.
The 11:11 Sweater is a top-down seamless raglan with an all-over mosaic stitch pattern. The raglan stitches continue throughout the body, creating a flattering detail at the waist. The simple stripes are easy to knit and are striking when finished.
The 11:11 Mittens use the same mosaic stitch pattern creating contrasting stripes, and feature optional sweet bows. They are a perfect compliment to the sweater, or an excellent way to try out the techniques and get in on the all the KAL fun with less commitment.

You’re welcome to join in with whatever yarn you like, but to be eligible for prizes, at least 40% of your project must be knit with Junction Fiber Mill yarn.
Can I use a different pattern?
To be part of this KAL, we’re all knitting the 11:11 Sweater or the 11:11 Mittens by Logan Laine. That said, we’d still love to see what you’re making with our yarn!

No need to sign up ahead of time. Just start knitting and join the conversation! When you finish your project, fill out the submission form (above) to be entered to win.
