Easy & fun knitting patterns for the busy knitter

Only knit what brings you joy.

It's way too easy to accumulate stuff. As a knitter, that means tons of yarn, patterns, and half finished projects that no longer inspire.

Stuff isn't going to improve your knitting. When you pare it all back, knitting is about creating something with your hands that's useful, beautiful, a little challenging and fun. To do that, all you need is a pattern that sparks joy.

At Charmingly Modern, we create patterns designed with that in mind: joy, fun, ease, interest and a little bit of challenge to spice things up.

Explore how Charmingly Modern can help you find joy in your knitting through the 3 steps below:

Hi, I'm Amanda!

I'm a mom of 3 who's been knitting for over a decade. I picked up my needles when I was pregnant with my oldest. I had just quit my job to prepare for becoming a mom and welcoming a newborn. I had lot of time on my hands. And a lot of worry for the parenting adventure my husband and I were just beginning.

What started as a goal of giving my hands something to do to distract my worried my mind turned into a hobby that quite literally saved my sanity, and kept me grounded through so many seasons of life.

Knitting became more than a way to make a hat, or a scarf. Knitting was (and is) my safe space - a way to reconnect to myself in the messy middle of motherhood. No matter what's happening, the yarn and needles are there to help me through it - plus, bonus (!), something beautiful and useful is made when the project is finished.

My story of finding my sanity in a ball of yarn isn't unique to me. I've heard from so many other moms who feel like they're drowning in life, but the moment they allowed themselves the time to be creative and connect with themselves, things shifted.

If you're craving connection and creativity, this could be the answer. You can become a knitter. All it takes is some determination, a little bit of yarn, and a set of needles.

I just wanted to let you know that your emails are the only ones I read – when I’m too busy to read them right away I always save them for later as every single one gives me something to think about/try.

I just love your emails. They are the only ones I read. And it always seems like you are reading my mind. 😊

Don’t mind me… just sitting here not believing I was finally able to cast on after months of failed attempts. Thank you!!

I’ve tried YouTube tutorials. Free stuff. Even asking my mom (lol) for help. Couldn’t figure out how to cast on a stitch, let alone knit one. Something about the way you explain things helped my brain click, though, and I’m starting a hat. I’m really excited to see where this goes!
