Surfola

Get ready to ride some sweet lacy waves with your favorite beach bum, Lola!

Surfola was September 2026’s Lola’s Choice kit and is SOLD OUT! SIGN UP NOW][1] if you don’t want to miss out on future kits!
The pattern is available for purchase if you want to go stash diving and knit with us! All are welcome!

Worked flat from a provisional cast-on, Surfola takes a wonderfully simple route to become a seamless loop: when you’ve finished knitting, those provisional stitches are grafted to the side of the inner long edge. 

Voilà! This clever construction that creates a beautifully finished cowl with a little lacy magic along the way.

Want help? No problem. I made you a full-length video tutorial to walk you through every stitch.
