DTS Ravelry Portfolio - Jessica Ays Double the Stitches.png

Hi, I’m Jessica Ays, and I design thoughtful, confidence-building knitting patterns for passionate knitters who love to grow their skills and feel calm, capable, and creative every time they pick up their needles.

Many of my patterns are inspired by my real life, like the name ‘Double the Stitches,’ is inspired by my twin boys (and the realization that if I ever wanted them to have hand-knit things, I would need to double my stitches!).

Through my Stitch Society Membership and On-Demand Workshops, I support knitters who want to deepen their skills, connect with a welcoming community, and find even more joy in their craft.

Whether it’s lace, cables, mosaic or brioche, every pattern I create is professionally written, tech-edited, and tested by real knitters so you can follow along with ease and confidence. If you’re looking for your next favorite project, you’ve come to the right place.

My patterns are designed with growth in mind. Each one offers an opportunity to try a new technique, build confidence, and create something you’re genuinely proud of.

I believe knitting should feel empowering, not overwhelming, so I guide you through every step with clear instructions, helpful tips, and thoughtful details that make the process smooth and enjoyable.
