About

Hi, I’m Emma, a British knitting and crochet designer based in rural Northern Spain. Within the yarn community, you may know me as Emmaknitty!

My creative journey began over a decade ago when I taught myself to knit and crochet using YouTube tutorials and well-loved craft books. What started as curiosity quickly became a lifelong passion, and I began designing my own patterns almost immediately and discovered a deep appreciation for the calm, creativity, and sense of accomplishment that crafting brings.

I specialise in thoughtfully designed patterns for homeware, accessories, and toys, with a focus on creating pieces that are both beautiful and practical. My goal is to inspire makers of all levels to enjoy the process as much as the finished result.

I live in the countryside of Northern Spain with my husband and daughter, along with our trio of chickens and two large, friendly dogs. When I’m not designing, you’ll find me cooking, gardening, PC gaming, or – of course – adding to my ever-growing yarn collection!

My work has been featured in leading craft magazines and on television, and I’ve collaborated with a range of respected yarn brands over the years. You can follow my latest designs, ideas, and behind-the-scenes moments on Instagram – I’m always happy to connect.
