Purl Bear Designs - Alexandra Atepaeva

I’m a knitwear designer based in The Netherlands. I grew up among the pines and snow and now live by the dunes and sea. Nature is tightly woven into my soul and inspiration for my designs. I love the natural colours, textures and the effect the play of sunlight and shadow bring to both.

My first design, Crisp Morning vest, came out in Laine magazine issue 19, in December 2023. You can purchase my other designs here. More Spring 2024 designs are coming soon! Stay tuned.
