About me
Hello, I'm Rachel! My knitwear design journey began 10+ years ago when I started knitting, but only in 2022 did I take the leap and began to learn how to design knitwear and how to write knitting patterns. I design modern, well-fitting, everyday knitwear and write clear, informative knitting patterns with novel aids like progress charts and shaping maps. My knitting patterns enable you to intentionally make functional wardrobe staples that will be worn and loved.
Inclusivity features you may see in one or more of my patterns:
- Instructions are screen reader accessible
- Design contains instructions for size XL and larger
- Non-gendered
