Welcome to Natalie in Stitches’ shop, a place where your unique shape and personal style take centre stage in the world of knitting. If you’ve ever dreamt of wearing beautiful, comfortable clothes that truly fit and express your authentic self, you’ve found your creative home. I’m an independent knitting pattern designer with an eye for detail, and a stickler for excellent fit.

Knitting Patterns

I believe clothes should serve you, not the other way around. That’s why my shop offers original knitting patterns, including sweaters, cardigans, and accessories, meticulously graded to a wide range of sizes. There’s detailed guidance on garment fit and yarn selection accompanying every pattern. This ensures that your creations are as comfortable as they are stunning. They’ll do much more than express your personal style!

Knitwear Design Courses

Beyond patterns, I invite you to explore my in-depth design courses. My Knitwear Design Initiation course empowers you to create and produce your very own knitting patterns, covering everything from visual communication to pattern drafting. There are also smaller and shorter courses if you just need to fill in knowledge gaps.

The Personal Touch

I have a library of tutorials for my favourite knitting techniques on YouTube, but there’s more. Personalised attention – my favourite – is available via KALs (knitalongs). This is the closest I can get to being with you in person. One of the benefits of being an independent knitting pattern designer is the opportunity to create your own community spaces. I am always looking for ways to do this!

A Fusion of Pattern Cutting, Garment Construction and Knitwear Design

Everything you’ll see here is rooted in solid principles and techniques from a fourth-generation dressmaker and university-trained designer. I empower you to generate and customise patterns, so you can trust in beautiful clothes that fit perfectly and last a lifetime. Imagine opening your closet each day, knowing every piece uplifts you.
