Knitting pattern stores

​We are so lucky as knitters these days to have a vast range of resources available to us, and so many ways to find new patterns and ideas. Many designers such as myself have pattern stores in a number of these locations so it is easy to find the patterns that you need just where you happen to be shopping.

So here are some of the main places where you can find my patterns:
​

• 1: Wyndlestraw Designs.

My main pattern store is right here on my website. This includes the full range of my patterns and all are available for instant download, including our Reversible Knitting Stitches book. Many of the on-line sites do not offer book downloads, so I am grateful that I have such a generous web hosting service.

Each pattern has full information on the pattern page too, which is not always possible with other sites. I also love the fact that I can also offer blogposts such as this one right here on the same site!

So please click here to see all the patterns and books available.

• 2: Etsy

Etsy is a vast emporium of all things crafty and you will find woodworking, silver smithing, cards, gifts – and knitting! It can be a bit daunting fighting your way through the multiple listings to find just what you want, but they do have multiple search filters to narrow the options down a bit.

I love shopping on Etsy myself and have a good selection of my patterns and our Reversible Knitting Stitches book there.

Please click here to see my Etsy store.

• 3: Ravelry

Ravelry is another important pattern hosting service and has a wonderful search capability. You can search for patterns that only use DK yarn, or that can be finished with the 350gm you happen to have in your yarn stash, for example.

The pattern information can be a little limited but I always include links back to my website so you can look for more information there if you need to. I like the way you can hold purchased patterns in a Ravelry library too. That is such a useful resource.

You can find my Ravelry pattern store here.

• 4: LoveCrafts

I also have my knitting patterns listed on LoveCrafts. which was started only a few years back in London as “LoveKnitting”. I remember meeting the team at the Knitting and Stitching show at Allie Pallie (Alexandra Palace) when they were first launching their company and was immediately impressed with their drive, enthusiasm and customer focus.

What is especially good here is that they also offer the yarn, needles, buttons and other accessories you might need to complete your project. This is great if you want to start your project straight away with all the items you need, or if you want to put a complete kit together as a gift for a fellow knitter.

Please click here to see all my patterns on the LoveCrafts site.


I hope you enjoy exploring these additional pattern resources when you are looking for your next designs. I’ll be back next time with a look at how fashions colours are forecast for the new season.

Until then – Happy Knitting!
