I’ve become known as a Hat architect, because my designs are all about structure and 3D engineering.

I am pleased to be able to extend my teaching further through these online classes, empowering knitters around the world with new skills and confidence.

I’ve built my career on knitted Hat design. For 16 years I’ve been turning Hats inside out, upside down and sideways, creating more than 350 patterns and 18 books, and now I’m making all this expertise available to you online.

These classes are going to be special. They’re professionally recorded and edited from my studio in an artists’ collective in Italy. I value the freedom I have in living outside mainstream society – creating a course fully independently, from start to finish, comes naturally to me – but I take no shortcuts when it comes to quality. Just as with my self-published books, every step is carefully planned and polished. Here’s what I’ve planned for you.

How I’m going to help you master Hat knitting

• Approachable, clear lessons will cover core lectures and key skills in bite-sized chunks.
• Each video covers just one topic, so you can dip in and out as needed.
• Modular learning design means you can pick standalone topics or build on what you’ve learned with more classes.
• You’ll build confidence and be able to apply your new skills to other knit projects.

What exactly is on offer?

• Techniques are covered in thorough detail with plenty of examples of work at different stages.
• It’s not just video! We each learn in different ways, so every class is supported with a handout eBook to read at your own pace.
• Each video is fully subtitled, with the aim of providing translations into other languages (for subtitles and handouts). Full transcriptions are also provided.
• Premium classes can be downloaded, to ensure smooth viewing even with low bandwidth.
