The story behind Knitatude

Knitatude was born in January of 2012 out of a love of learning how to knit but never came into fruition until April 2013.  What started as a search for that ever eluding infinity scarf, to the picking up a set of needles, and a hell of a lot of swearing. Fast forward to 2016 and that’s when designing patterns came into the forefront of Knitatude (Knitting with attitude).

Designs with YOU (the maker) in Mind

Knitatude is all about knitwear design that is meant for the “advance beginner” knitter. If you know how to knit & purl both flat and in the round, have knit a scarf and a hat - you can make a Knitatude sweater pattern.

Each pattern is based on simple easy to get construction and modern clean lines, written for the beginner knitters who wants to explore and expand their knitting skills, or experienced knitters who want something mindless and chill, and not fry their brains with a knitting pattern.

Don’t be afraid to try out a new pattern! Each one is equipped to help you along the way, and hold your hand in the hard parts with those added details that will set your mind at ease.

Meet Chantal (Videos below too!)

Chantal is the potty-mouth, purple-haired, self taught knitter from Calgary Alberta, Canada. Born in the frigid - 30 degree weather, "being warm" has never been a thing for this lady. You can usually find her wearing the largest oversized knit sweater she can find with fleece lined tights, cozy slippers and a chai latte in hand. If she’s not knitting, she’s probably scrolling and giggling on instagram, snuggling her two weenie dogs (Kurt Russel and Spinelli), eating food her handsome hubbie Todd made, or curled up reading a smutty romance novel.

Chantal is also the award winning, best selling author behind “Sweater Success: From Cast on To Closet, learn to Fearless Knit Cardigans and Pullovers”, and her goal is to make you feel confident with every knit you make of hers.
