Hi, I’m Paola and I design knitting patterns! My focus is mostly on shawls, because they don’t ask for sleeves, and they let ideas get weird in peace.
I love experimenting with shapes that grow in odd directions, colours that echo each other, and techniques that were probably never meant to be combined but somehow ended up sharing a chart. Mosaic? Sure. Brioche? Why not. Echoes on garter stitch? Let’s see what happens.

My patterns do require a bit of attention. They’re curious, allergic to straight lines and to anything that looks like stockinette for more than five minutes. But hopefully, they’re also intriguing and fun to make.

If you knit to discover, if you get bored halfway through vanilla patterns, if you think rules are suggestions with an expiry date — you’re in the right place. Welcome, and make yourself at home. Here we knit to explore, to learn, to play, and sometimes to say something, while creating beauty with our hands.

If this sounds like your kind of knitting, feel free to subscribe to my newsletter.
I only send a note when there’s something to share — a new pattern, a treat, a reason to say “hey, I made this for you.”
