We had so much fun with the first Knitterati, our 30th Anniversary Afghan, that we decided to have another MKAL for 2018.

Cascade Yarns® has partnered with Soho Publishing/Vogue Knitting to include patterns for 16 afghan blocks, each from a different top designer. Cascade Yarns® Knitterati Gradient Lapghan features 16 specifically designed colors that create 4 tonal gradients. The Gradient Lapghan uses the super-soft merino version of 220 Superwash®. 220 Superwash® Merino has the same gauge and construction as our popular 220 Superwash®, but with the added softness of long-staple merino wool.

Proceeds from Blocks 1-4, 13-16 and the eBook will be donated to North Valley Community Foundation Camp Fire Relief Fund, The Camp Fire Relief Fund was created to assist the many community organizations serving evacuees and first responders. This year has been the most devastating year for wild fires in California. More information is available on their website at www.nvcf.org.

Proceeds from Blocks 5-8 will be donated to Knitted Knockers, a non-profit organization run by volunteers focusing on the free distribution of handcrafted breast prostheses (“knockers”) to women impacted by breast cancer and mastectomy.
