Yiğitcan / Pufido (they/he) is a Turkish queer knitwear designer based in Istanbul.

I first picked up knitting needles on my hand when I was a child. There was always someone who was knitting at the home. Thanks to my mom and aunt, they taught me a lot about knitting. And from that moment I fell in love with this magical craft.

I studied Textile Design. My designs usually focus on unexpected details, striking forms & attitude. I am always seeking the new and trying to develop the ideas to the infinity. I love to play with colors using several techniques and sometimes I just bring a traditional element alive with my designs in a modern perspective.

I think everyone should knit. Because knitting is what? FUNDAMENTAL!
