Hi! My name is Kika,

I’m a fulltime knit designer and YouTuber who never leaves the house without a knit project.

I love the creative process of transforming yarn into fabric and designing knits I get to wear and share through my patterns with knitters all over the world.

Also, I think yarn stores are the happiest places on Earth.

Here you’ll find modern knitting patterns and links to my step-by-step Youtube video tutorials to help you level up your knitting skills and complete your next project with confidence and ease.
