Gabrielle Augustine (Whimsical Woolies)
Welcome to Whimsical Woolies! Here you’ll find timeless, wearable patterns that focus on clean lines, fun details, and versatile silhouettes that inspire makers of all skill levels.
While I am a museum curator by day, knitting has been bringing me joy in my free time since my grandmother taught me how to hold needles and yarn. For years, I’ve enjoyed creating my own designs, but my journey into pattern writing truly began when I started developing projects to teach new techniques and stitch patterns at my LYS, Sybil’s Yarn Shop. Designing for classes challenged me to think about clarity, accessibility, and how to break down complex ideas into patterns that empower knitters to learn and grow. My patterns reflect this teaching approach—thoughtfully constructed, approachable, and always with a focus on building skills while creating something beautiful.
Each Whimsical Woolies pattern is carefully written to guide knitters with clarity and confidence. However, if you have any questions or comments, please email me at whimsicalwooliesknits@gmail.com
You can also find me on Instagram @whimsicalwooliesknits where I post about designing, knitting, and other fibery goodness.
