Ideas Knitting Patterns

This app displays unique and creative ideas in knitting patterns.

Knitting is the process of using two or more needles to loop yarn into a series of interconnected loops in order to create a finished garment or some other type of fabric. The word is derived from knot, thought to originate from the Dutch verb knutten, which is similar to the Old English cnyttan, to knot. Its origins lie in the basic human need for clothing for protection against the elements. More recently, hand knitting has become less a necessary skill and more a hobby.

If you have ever tried to research the history of knitting, you'll know that there is no cut-and-dry story that tells you everything you need to know. It seems like knitting history is scattered in bits and pieces, and none of those bits and pieces seem to match up.

Historical romance, steampunk, time travel romance all re-imagine history. These knitting patterns are all inspired by these fresh looks at historical costumes and clothes.
