The Rivulet KAL

Not your average drop shoulder. 

Rivulet starts with a European shoulder, a clever construction that gives this relaxed sweater its distinctive shape. 

Add in vertical columns of lace and you’ve got a project that’s interesting enough to keep you hooked, but wearable enough to become an everyday favourite. 

And you get to choose your finish: knit Rivulet as a relaxed sweater or make it a versatile vest.  

Clever construction. Beautiful detail. A sweater you’ll love to wear. 

We’ll release Rivulet clue by clue in the Stolen Stitches Autumn KAL, with a free video workshop included while the KAL is running. 

Three clues.  One sweater. Ready to cast on?  

Learn more about our 2026 Autumn Rivulet Sweater knit-along.

Some sweaters begin with a sketch. Rivulet began with a swatch that went wrong. 

See how one failed experiment led to a European shoulder, flowing lace and our Autumn KAL.

MKAL 2025

Starting out as a knit/purl girl, I feel I can now say I’m a knitter. The support and help from everyone during the MKAL was fabulous. I didn’t want the project to end. The videos were extremely helpful with all the new techniques I’ve learned. Will definitely be looking for my next project from Stolen Stitches and watching for the next MKAL. My favourite part was the actual time I spent knitting. Just became an empty nester after 34 years and didn’t know what to do with myself…..I now know where my path is going and I’m very excited.

Spring KAL - Fun Knitting

As always, I have gained more knitting knowledge from Carol’s patterns... Joining in a knit-along also provides amazing support from Carol and her team plus all the knitters who not only share questions, comments, and progress updates but have so much fun chatting and connecting with each other. I loved it. I’ll look forward to the next knit along with Carol.

Holly Blue KAL

My goal in retirement is to improve my knitting skills and be able to make things I can be proud to wear. I purchased this kit and workshop and I couldn’t be happier. I love the short videos that take me thru each part of the pattern as I learn new techniques. I’m so thrilled I found Stolen Stitches and I know I will be doing as many workshops with the accompanying kits as time will allow as it’s a great way to learn to knit and make beautiful items at the same time. Highly recommend this cardigan, it’s gorgeous!

Torc KAL Novice knitter

For a novice knitter, the instructions have been a true blessing. They are well written and easy to understand yet challenging with all of the modifications you could do. Carol makes you feel like you can accomplish anything!! Thank you.

All you have to do is to purchase the current KAL pattern at the top of this page.

If you frequently find that you run out of steam before you finish your knits or you haven’t tried any new techniques in a while, then our KALs (knit-alongs) may be just the thing for you! The comradery of many knitters working on the same project together, encouraging each other along can be a huge help to get across that finish line

At its simplest, a knit-along (or KAL for short) is a group of knitters who work on the same project at the same time. Typically, a knit-along has a set start and end date, and participants follow a pattern or set of instructions provided.

Knit-alongs can take many forms, from local knitting groups who meet in person to online communities who connect through social media, forums or dedicated platforms. Some knit-alongs are organized around a specific theme or yarn, while others are more free-form and allow participants to choose their own projects within a broad category. Here we have 3 garment KALs a year and one Mystery KAL in February.

You can join our current KAL by buying the current KAL pattern above. The pattern is released as a series of clues that will be sent as pattern updates. In the pattern, you will also get a code to access the complimentary step-by-step video workshops. Community chat and support are provided in ourKnithub.

No. We do have yarn kits available, but you can join us with yarn from your stash if you prefer!

Don't panic! You can also consult our accompanying tutorials, or reach out to us for help or advice. You can do this in ourKnithub, in our dedicated comment threads in our tutorials, or on our social channels.

A mystery knit-along or MKAL is when a group of knitters come together and knit a pattern without knowing what the final finished object will look like. We run our mystery Knit-along annually in February.

On purchase of the KAL pattern, you will be auto enrolled in the accompanying workshop classes on Teachable. You will be notified via the email you used to sign up. These classes will be released at the same time as the pattern clues. You will also receive an invitation to the dedicated Knithub chat space for the KAL.

When you purchase a digital pattern from us you will have the option at the end of the checkout process to add your pattern to your Ravelry library. Ensure you are logged into Ravelry before you click. Then just click the button that says 'Add to Ravelry' and it will take you to Ravelry.
