Jessica McDonald

Hi! I’m Jessica, and I love to knit and wear sweaters. I began designing knitting patterns because I wanted to make beautiful, simple, and classic knitwear for my children. It wasn’t long before I began designing knits for myself too.

My designs are straightforward and simple with beautiful design elements and thoughtful details. They are enjoyable to knit as well as being a fantastic addition to your handmade wardrobe.

My pattern-writing focus is on simplicity and enjoyability of knitting. My patterns are clearly written and free from fussy or complicated instructions. I want everyone to be able to make something beautiful that they love to wear.

I offer pattern support on my patterns so if you have a question or need to get in touch with me for any reason, please email me at jessicamknits(at)gmail.com.

New newsletter subscribers will receive a coupon for 20% off any pattern when they sign up. An email with subscriber exclusive coupons is sent out on every new pattern release. You can sign up for my newsletter here.
