Knitting patterns
A growing archive of written knitting patterns, catalogued so you can find a project and come back to it.
Every pattern here is written out in full and filed the same way: yarn weight and yardage, needle size, finished measurements, the gauge you need to hit before you cast on, and an honest note on how difficult the piece actually is. Where a step is easier watched than read, the pattern points to the matching video tutorial. Crochet projects live in their own collection.
All knitting patterns
Every written knitting pattern in the archive, listed with its difficulty and yarn weight so you can find the right project quickly.
Each entry pairs a full written pattern with a filmed walkthrough on the Cast & Purl channel. Scan the list, open what suits your needles, and come back whenever you are ready for the next one.

Every pattern in this archive starts on the table: a skein wound, a gauge swatch pinned flat, a row counted twice before it is written down. The photographs here are the working state of the work, not the finished shelf.
