There are patterns here for true beginners and for more experienced knitters, too. There are plenty of hats, including my signature ponytail hats with button bands that let you wear a ponytail high, low, or in between - but also sweaters, shawls, baby items, and more.

The sweater patterns are size-inclusive and also have lots of personal fit modification options because I feel strongly that everyone should have access to patterns that will fit their bodies and that they will feel great wearing.

Please let me know if you ever have a question about a pattern or would like to share a picture of your finished work - I love to admire knitting pictures!
