Leading up to the 2026 midterms POW’s unofficial Knit Alliance (comprised of folks from across the Creative, Athlete, Science, and Brand alliances) will be hosting a Moving The Needle knit along. Join us in making your very own VOTE sweater! We've all selected bulky weight patterns that knit up quick but feel free to make whatever you like!
STEP 1: Choose your pattern and color!
Here are some links to a few of our favorites:
Knitting Alliance members selected colors that represented causes we care about. Feel free to join us or pick your own yarn.
STEP 2:
Knit your way to the polls! Stay tuned for "Move the Needle" knitting events hosted by POW Alliance members across the country and online in October where you can join us in embroidering VOTE on the front of your sweater, checking your voting registration, and learning about what’s on your local ballot.
FOllow along!
