Why knit this tee:
“In this election we each face a question. What kind of country do we want to live in?
Some people think we should be a country of chaos, of fear, of hate.
But we, we choose something different.
We choose Freedom.” - Kamala Harris, 2024

We invite you to join us over the next few weeks to knit for freedom.

The goal of this project is for democracy & human rights to prevail in the US this November. Let’s be bold, enthusiastic supporters of Kamala Harris and celebrate her strength and joy. To be seen is to be heard! Let’s use our stitches to amplify our voice.

This is our Rhinebeck Sweater. And you are invited to join us IN PERSON at New York Sheep & Wool Festival in Rhinebeck, NY on Saturday, Oct 19th, and make your Rhinebeck Sweater one that means something!

Knitting Notes
The Freedom Knitters Tee features a chart of Kamala Harris face. We recommend using duplicate stitch once finished with knitting, although adventurous knitters may choose a combination of stranding, intarsia, or ladderback jacquard to work the motif as you knit it.

The pattern in Knitrino is top-down, and we have included an extra chart for those wishing to knit it as they go top down.

Founded by knitting sisters Andrea & Alison, Knitrino is crafted on the sense of family and community central to the fiber arts. Knitrino is a place for people to share their knowledge, connect and feel part of a wider group of makers with at least one thing in common: a passion for knitting. It’s Knitrino’s goal to make it easy for people to return to making, support small farms, reconnect with their roots and feel present in this world we live in.
