Two of Wands and starcrossed knits are my absolute favorite designers. I do like the PetiteKnit pieces I've made, but since everyone makes them I tend to get bored seeing them in my feed over and over. I love the sporty chic silhouettes from Two of Wands and how many of her patterns are free and more accessible to beginners. Starcrossed knits has the prettiest, most feminine patterns and she always includes super helpful details on customizing the fit, she's also a super sweet person and so funny!
I love PetiteKnit patterns - she's an amazing designer who deserves all the hype she receives. I like the timelessness of many of her designs - very wearable everyday patterns that also adapt to common trends.
Lol, I am one of those who never knit a Sophie scarf; can you believe it! Call me a party pooper, but it reminds me more of a rope than a scarf, and I can`t stand anything tied around my neck which is that thin and tight. All right, that`s just me. I think Petite Knit has a lot of nice pattern otherwise. The constructions are very unique and I am not used to knitting top down stuff. Back in the day, I started knitting in 1971, we knitted on straight needles and only bottom up, making all the different parts and then sewing them together. Knitting came a long way since then. Love from Germany.
I agree with the Brooklyn Tweed recommendation for men's sweaters...I am starting the Grist pattern this week for my 16 year old son. The patterns are beautifully written and charted and offers generous support.
The sophie scarf is literally the reason I started knitting! I saw someone wearing one at an organizing event and furiously started googling to figure out how I could make one myself. It ended up being the perfect beginner pattern for me since I liked learning a few techniques in one and didn't mean keeping track of where I was the whole time. I just noted each row with a tally mark on the pattern. Unfortunately, I don't actually wear the two I've made that much, but they have come in handy a few times. The only thing I regret about starting my knitting journey with PetitKnit patterns is that so many other patterns seem imprecise or not well written to me now.
I love Petite Knit's Monday Sweater. I think I made 3 of them last year. Thanks for the video I purchased the Stockholm and the Northland after watching your video.
I've never made a petite knit pattern, but I follow a lot of knitters who do. Right now I'm knitting the Anyday Sweatshirt by Ysolda and I'm really enjoying it. It starts at the back of the shoulders so I think you would like it. ❤🧶
Just came across your podcast. What a great episode! I am a huge fan of Petite Knits. They are such classics in my wardrobe. I just finished the Poppy Tee knit in black and I LOVE IT. I also love my Eva Cardigan. Kim
I love her patterns and am knitting my second champagne cardigan for myself. I've made 2 zipper sweater man sweaters and will be making the lighter version for my husband this year and the woman zipper for me. (Already have the yarn) i have made many of her baby knitts as baby gifts) the most patterns i own from one designer are her patterns and knitting for olive. ❤ love them both!!!!
@@woozybycelineI’m about to start the zipper sweater. Wish me luck😳😆

My favourite designer is definitely Fabel Knitwear, with Lily Kate France as close second. From Petite Knit, I've only ever knitted the Sophie sisters. I didn't have to count the decreases because of the row counter app I use - I just plugged them in and the app warned me when they were due. But yeah, they're a bit overrated. Cute and nice for a gift, though. As for men's sweaters, the two names that come to mind are Maxim Cyr and Jared Flood. Both have amazing and well-rounded masculine designs
I have knitted the Champagne cardigan and 2(different gauges) Eva Cardigans. Eva has a beautiful shape and great fit and I'll probably knit a third one.
I had issues with the eyelet pattern when knitting Anna’s Summer Cardigan as well. I saw someone on Ravelry had omitted them so I just did the same. All your knits are lovely ☺️
I actually haven’t made any Petite Knit patterns because they look too store bought for me. But I love watching these videos and seeing all the makes on different people and hearing what they thought about the patterns. I did buy the pattern for the Anker tee so I want to make that one.
Absolutely, something that looks handmade has a wonderful charm that the store bought looking garments just don't have. I love my Ranunculus top by Midori Hirose because it has such a lovely handmade quality, it's so cute! I think the Anker Tee is definitely one of those PetiteKnit patterns that look more organic, I've been eyeing it for a while 😍
This was an amazing pattern that I made for my husband. It was a relatively quick knit as its for Arun weight. (I did in worsted and it worked out fine, but I knit a little loose, so guage was no problem. I did the crew collar, not rolled, as I feel the same about the rolled color as you do, too bulky!!
You have a very nice collection of Petiteknit. You sold me on the stockholm sweater. I love the double folded collar and drop shoulder design. I made her Monday sweater which I like but the double folded collar just looks a bit off. I want to make another Monday sweater but next time I will either add more rows to the collar or keep it single. Btw, your lavender sweater is so pretty!
Petite knit and Isager, and all the other Danish designers! Check out the archives collection, she features a bunch of great Danish designers. And she just put out a favorited movies collection, so fun, plus her daughter and her have the yarn brand.😮
I also had trouble with the eyelets in the Anna Sweater. Particularly in the arms / shoulder sections at the start. Made it work but couldn't follow the chart at all 😅
Stunning 😍 every single one! Question: you mentioned loving the construction of the Ingrid sweater, I’ve never knit a sweater with that construction and I was wondering if you had any recommendations for simple patterns with a similar construction to try first before I attempt the Ingrid? - coming from a intermediate beginner knitter 🫶🏼🫶🏼
Thank you for your comment 🤗The Stockholm Sweater by PetiteKnit essentially has the same construction, it only doesn't have short rows on the back panel, so it's a great one to test the waters. I've also made the Typical Mohair Slipover by Typical Bliss in this construction (which you can substitute the mohair with any other fibre btw). Some other PetiteKnit patterns that I'm pretty sure are in this construction (that I haven't knit) are the Cloud Sweater, Sonja Sweater, Melange Sweater. Hope this helps xx
Just found you and loved your video and I too love petite knits. I have some lovely 4 ply and don’t know what to use it for….any ideas, please? Thank you.
Thank you lovely! It'll soon be summer so it's camisole and tee time! Maybe a Cumulus Tee by PetiteKnit, or Knitting for Olive have so many gorgeous top patterns for 4 ply :)
Violet looks gorgeous on you and I have to admit for a minute I thought I see young Jennifer Connelly!! The zipper sweater and Ingrid are super pretty in your collection...
Thank youu ❤️ I think it’s because there are many different techniques within it. Mock cables, short rows, charts etc. Also, some instructions aren’t explained all the way, the pattern assumes you are more of an experienced knitter. It says stuff like “carry short rows in pattern”, which isn’t the most straightforward for some beginners. That being said, the techniques themselves aren’t terribly complicated, and there are so many good videos to get help from 🤗
Just found your channel. I LOVE petiteknit (and have knitted many of her patterns). I am extremely particular about what I like and what not. Some minor details can make a huge difference for me. Her patterns are just exactly my style. Not all but almost all! I am working on my first Ingrid right now. It took me a while because I generally prefer minimalistic styles but this one has grown on me and the knitting part is so much fun! iI you were looking for a great tutorial for a jog-less i-cord I can recommend this on. She has many great tutorials. ruclips.net/video/uvhE9bepjE4/видео.html
Personally I find that PetiteKnit is a little overrated and as a more curvy woman I find that they are way too much boxy and with a lot of positive ease that are not as much flattering for my body type.
On my body is a v neck more flattering. Like how her pattern look on her but not on my. The 3 patterns I heave are all a disappointment on my body. So no petit knit for me ( I’m not petit, maybe that’s the problem)

100% agreed
Maxim Cyr makes lovely men’s sweaters. I knit up the single malt for my husband last year.
Agree 100% My husband knits and we call Maxim his knitting boyfriend - he loves Max's patterns :)
Ahhh thank you, I just checked his IG, LOVE IT!
I also love his patterns, also Jarrod Flood and Martin Storey for men’s sweaters.
I wish she would publish a book of patterns, it adds up to buy all her patterns!
A PetiteKnit book would do so well 😍

Thank you for commenting! Yes, mini scarves can bother some people at the neck for sure. So fascinating how knitting techniques have developed 😍
Jared Flood/Brooklyn Tweed have great men's sweaters - I have knit a few for my husband and two teenage sons!
I'm looking for a pattern for my husband, so thank you for the tip! 😊 He asked for "Cables" 😮 Me: cables?! 😂😂😂
I just love the patterens of Linka Nauman and Fabel Knitwear.❤
Wow I just looked her up, LOVE the colourwork!
your take on petite knits patterns is so informative and fun to watch - thank you 🥰 also wearing a lavender sweater today 💜
Thank you so much 💜 honestly I need more things in Lavander, it’s so beautiful!

I avoided the zipper sweater because i didn't want to install the zipper but now i see i can take it to a tailor like you did 😂
10/10 would recommend 😂

Love your video. Thank you. I found the Eva Cardigan by PetiteKnits very easy and quite to knit. It is, so far, my favorite.
I have knitted the Champagne cardigan and 2(different gauges) Eva Cardigans. Eva has a beautiful shape and great fit and I'll probably knit a third one.
I've seen the Eva in real life and it is utterly gorgeous!!

Oh my goodness that’s impressive 😍
My favorite PetiteKnit patterns are the Ankers Sweater, the No Frills Sweater and the Novice Sweater.
Ingrid Sweater is the besssst ✨
Yessss 😍
Love this video! I purchased the pattern you are wearing thanks to your video! Love that lavender sweater 💜

I'm making a Cumulus now with linen, let's see how it goes...
I LOVVEE linen, I predict it's going to be amazing!
Petite knit and Isager, and all the other Danish designers! Check out the archives collection, she features a bunch of great Danish designers. And she just put out a favorited movies collection, so fun, plus her daughter and her have the yarn brand.😮
Thanks for the suggestion, I will definitely check that out 😍😍😍

Glad to hear I wasn't the only one!!
Such a helpful video! Thank you for doing this!!
So glad you found it helpful! Thank you for watching
Brooklyn Tweed has a bunch of sweater patterns that are unisex or for men. Their pattern page has filters to help identify them.
Thank you for the recommendation!
For men’s sweaters I like knitwits and yarns. On you tube and Etsy.
Oh my gosh I love your videos!!! So happy I found your channel ☺☺subscribed!
Thank you so much 🥹❤️
Nice video 🙂 me personally… I just love Andrea Mowry, her style is so special 🌸
Thank you 🤗 She is so talented, I haven’t knit anything from her yet for some reason, that needs to change!
Jared Flood has great men’s sweater patterns IMO
lavender looks amazing on you
aww thank you 💜💜 It really is special on everyone!
Love your video and Ingrid sweater is definitely a superb 🥹
Thanks so much, yes it's the best!

Max the Knitter and Jared Flood have great male patterns.
What headband are you wearing? It it just one of those knit fabric ones or does it have plastic in it
It’s just a normal plastic headband :)

Do you know of Maxim Cyr for men’s sweaters?
Also explore Jared Flood.
Max is amazing. Some of his designs are also listed as Les Garcons. My first sweater was the Single Malt, which has a wonderful texture (moss stitch)
Just checked his work out and it’s such a good recommendation, thank you :)
Helen Stewart has good scarf patterns.
So beautiful ❤️❤️
Violet looks gorgeous on you and I have to admit for a minute I thought I see young Jennifer Connelly!! The zipper sweater and Ingrid are super pretty in your collection...

great pieces! what size did you knit the cumulus blouse in?
Thank you! The darker green is a small and the lighter green is a large :)
Did you use the recommended yarn for all of these sweaters ?
No I changed it up for most of them!
For your Marble Sweater, are you holding 3 strands of yarn at a time?
I was holding 4: 2 Drops Air, 1 Alpaca Silk and 1 cotton :)
@@woozybyceline Thank you! The sweater looks so beautiful

I can not get any Pattern…. Imposibile to pay with kk😢
What is KK? Can you purchase her patterns on Ravelry?
Oh no! I thought Ravelry accepted all currencies. Where do you usually purchase patterns from?

Personally I find that PetiteKnit is a little overrated and as a more curvy woman I find that they are way too much boxy and with a lot of positive ease that are not as much flattering for my body type.
I imagine the oversize style is easier for designer to scale up or down for multiple sizes, probaby why they are mostly like this.
On my body is a v neck more flattering. Like how her pattern look on her but not on my. The 3 patterns I heave are all a disappointment on my body. So no petit knit for me ( I’m not petit, maybe that’s the problem)
@@Winkey-crafts not me literally just noticed the 'petit' part and that the creator of patterns is indeed petit......
I think I would love your podcast; however you talk way way too fast. It’s very annoying. You have beautiful eyes.
Thanks for the feedback! I will be more mindful of this recording videos in the future! 🤗
