Sarah Dawn

Hi folks! I’m a knit/crochet designer, maker, and teacher, who specializes in inclusive and accessible designs! Think you can’t knit or crochet? Think again, because, I promise you, you can!

I’ve been designing since 2016, and have designs in several publications, including with Knit Picks, Knotions Magazine, and Knit Now Magazine

Looking for my Monthly Pattern Sale and Craft Along? Check the ‘Featured Pattern’ link below!

As for me? I’ve has been fascinated by knitting since first learning how to knit at the age of 5, and loving (almost all) of it. When I’m not knitting, I’m (re)teaching myself to crochet and learning how to spin!

My other non-fiber vices include tea, video games, and good books.

I currently share my space with my good friend and roommate, as well as two cats who often attempt to photo-bomb photo shoots, sometime with hilarious results!

Questions? Want to contact me? Send me a message on here on Ravelry, or e-mail me at sarahdawnsdesigns@gmail.com
