I help by creating quality gifts for the knitter in your life and beautiful hand knitted items. While also helping knitters by designing whimsical and relaxing knitting patterns that are both accessible and print friendly.

Hand knits and mugs

It can be difficult to find affordable quality hand knitted items and gifts for the knitter in your life that isn’t yarn and to find.  It’s why I started creating hand knitted items with a touch of whimsy for you to enjoy and share with your family too. 

If you love the look of our designs but don’t have the time or don’t knit your in the right place and can now find these in our store!

Accessible and print friendly knitting patterns

It can be frustrating and hard to find an easy relaxing knit that looks beautiful and is easy to knit up. It’s why I started designing to create relaxing knitting patterns with a touch of whimsy not only for myself but patterns for you to enjoy too.  I understand the frustration of not being able to use print friendly patterns due to the font or font size used. Before I realised accessible pattern existed I would struggle through using a print friendly patterns too often getting so frustrated with it and my knitting. I know for many of you that trying to use a print friendly pattern isn’t an option and what a relief  it is to be able to find an accessible pattern that has been tested to ease of use. So that you can enjoy knitting and create with joy without the frustration of using an inaccessible pattern or missing out due to lack of accessiblity. 

Pay what works model 

Often many knitting patterns are not accessible due to the cost adding unneeded stress to those for you who love to knit and are on low incomes or disability. Therefore all my knitting designs use the pay what works model to balance financial accessibility with sustainable pricing. This is to allow for financial accessibility while still valuing the work that has gone into each pattern. The price displayed reflects the cost, time etc gone into each pattern.The coupon codes for these can be found on each pattern listing, To purchase the pattern at a price point that is accessible for you, use the coupon code listed next to that price point at the checkout. 

To use on the Hive please make sure you are logged in to use the coupon code.  If you don’t have an account it is free to sign up. Unfortunately Love Crafts do not have this option, therefore patterns on our Love Crafts store are priced at the lowest coupon price point to make it financially accessible for you.

Knitting shouldn’t be frustrating and stressful everyone should’ve able to have accessible knitting patterns and be able to enjoy their knitting too. If your looking for a relaxing or whimsical easy knit that looks beautiful you’re in the right place!
