modern everyday knitting patterns

Hello friends! I am so delighted you are here! 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. My education and background in journalism, photography, web & graphic design, small business management has all collided here, along with my passion for knitting.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL

Each pattern is throughly edited by a professional tech editor and thoughtfully laid out in an intuitive, two-column format with clear, easy-to-read instructions.

EXTENSIVELY TESTED

Each pattern is extensively test knit prior to publishing by a range of knitters of all sizes, shapes, and abilities, in yarns spanning all fibres and budgets.

SLOW FASHION STAPLES

Each pattern is designed to be a wardrobe staple, modern yet timeless, an everyday garment designed with the real-world in mind. 

Aestiva Tee Knitting Pattern by Rachel Costello

Aestiva Tee

Inspired by the word ‘aestiva’, which means the ‘light of summer’, this tee is the perfect warm-weather knit. Light fingering weight wool / linen blended yarn creates a fabric that is soft and airy perfect on its own for warm days or layered underneath your favourite shirt, cardigan or jumper for those cooler days.

This construction is so unique, I haven’t seen anything like it. Every detail was meticulously chosen and integrated to make a final product that feels effortless. And, again, can’t say enough about the neckline!! Frames my neck and upper chest SO nicely.

~ Sarai (test knitter)

I love the fit! ...it genuinely fits so comfortably. I don't have to adjust the tee at all as it's being worn, and it is really comfy at the underarms (not tight, and not baggy). The v-neck is also PERFECTLY shaped - it isn't so wide that I have to constantly adjust my bra strap to stay hidden, and the depth of the v-neck is flattering!

~ Maddy (test knitter)

Due to the construction, it was pretty varied but not too complicated. Definitely like the finished garment. It hit two knitting goals for me, knitting a different construction with fit in mind and knitting a summer knitting pattern 🙂

~ Andrea (test knitter)

Soooo fun! Body with light yarn was enjoyable 'tv knitting' while the raglan/saddle was new and exciting construction!
