Say hello to Made & Worn! Custom, easy to follow knitting patterns that fit to your individual measurements, gauge and personal style!

Launching 16th March 2018, Made & Worn offers every knitter the opportunity to create their ultimate project from a selection of garment shapes and stitch patterns. Each pattern is generated from the knitter’s personal gauge and body measurements, to ensure a great fit! Made & Worn saves your progress as you go, so you can pick up right where you left off without worry!

The Babbage cowl is inspired by Charles Babbage, a mathematician and mechanical engineer who originated the concept of a digital programmable computer.
Written for DK weight yarn, Babbage is comprised of two textures which are repeated to form four sections. Babbage is knitted flat lengthwise and then seamed to make a tube. Babbage offers 25 different geometric texture combinations so you can really make it your own! Pick two of the same textures for a simple and classic look or select contrasting stitches for a textural treat!
