Hi, I’m Melanie – the designer behind Mairlynd.

Knitting has been my creative home for years. I love dreaming up cozy, modern designs with a touch of whimsy—pieces that feel just as good to knit as they do to wear.

Inspired by nature and the joy of making, I believe knitting brings us closer—to ourselves and to each other. That’s why I’m not only a designer but also a teacher, sharing my love for yarn and creativity wherever I can.

My designs have appeared in leading knitting publications and are cherished by knitters all over the world. I’ve written bestselling books on shawls and sweaters, packed with versatile patterns and personal insights.

When I’m not knitting, you’ll find me curled up with a book or sketching ideas for my next design.
