Make Your Knitting pattern Design Dreams a Reality
Hi! My name is Clare and I want you to know that it is possible to make your dreams of designing your own knitting patterns a reality.
I’ve loved knitting ever since I was a teenager and at the age of 15, I printed out the prospectus for a Knitwear Design degree and took it to my school career’s councillor.
“I want to become a knitwear designer.”
I went on to study that exact degree four years later and after completing it, worked in the commercial fashion industry for a few years. However, I quickly realised that it wasn’t for me. I wanted to work with hand knitting instead.
I started designing my own knitting patterns back in 2016, cobbling together everything I’d learned in my knitwear degree, my work as a bespoke tailoring assistant and my many years of knitting obsessively from other people’s patterns. And of course, a healthy dose of google searching too!

Several years later, I now have a tried and true system that simplifies the knitting pattern design process, which is exactly what I teach here on the blog so that other enthusiastic knitters can experience the joy and freedom that comes from being able to design and create whatever their heart dreams up!
