Welcome to Sleepy Owl designs. My main designing philosophy is to create functional pieces that are clean and simple in design, so they are easy to integrate into your wardrobe, but with just enough flair that making and wearing them bring a smile to your face.

I believe that knitters of every level should be able to knit anything, and that’s why I provide multiple levels of pattern instructions, so you can knit whatever you want at whatever level you’re currently at.

If you find an item of mine that you’d really like to make, but find that the included sizes don’t go up high enough to fit you, please contact me via Ravelry and I will work with you to create modifications to create a version of the garment that will fit you. As a plus-sized individual married to a another plus-sized individual, I understand how hard it can be to find things that fit, not just technically, but properly, and in a flattering way. Don’t be afraid to contact me. This service will not cost extra above the cost of the pattern; it’s my way of giving back to a community that’s already given me so much. <3

Additionally, if you have any ideas on how I can make my patterns and/or designs more accessible, I’d love to hear from you.
