The Story Behind Emmaknitty

Hi, I am Emma, a British knitting and crochet designer based in Spain. Within the yarn community, you may know me as Emmaknitty. I have always been a naturally creative person, but my journey into knitting and later crochet began in the mid-2000s, though I did not start designing professionally until around 2014. When I was on maternity leave, I needed a way to stay busy and productive, so I decided to pick up my needles again, and the rest is history.

My design ethos is simple: I want to create straightforward, fuss-free patterns that are not only approachable for confident beginners, but also genuinely fun and relaxing for advanced knitters and crocheters. I believe that the most beautiful pieces come from simple shapes with a few interesting details added along the way, and using that format, you can create almost anything. Crafts should never feel intimidating, and patterns ought to be both calming and engaging without ever becoming overwhelming. I truly hope that ethos shines through every single design I share with you.

I live in the countryside of Northern Spain with my husband, daughter, two dogs, and a collection of chickens. In my free time, I love cooking, history and true crime documentaries, interior design, reading, caring for our pets, and of course, knitting, crocheting, and crafts in general.

Selected Brand Collaborations and Features

I have worked as a yarn ambassador and collaborator for brands including Hobbii, Selected Yarns, Rico Design, Hoooked and Lovecrafts over the years, and have had my patterns published in magazines such as Mollie Makes, Your Knit & Crochet Magazine, and Let’s Knit Together. I have also had my finished work featured on television channels like Ideal World and Create and Craft.

Thank you so much for your support and visiting my blog.

Happy and warm crafting,

Emma ♡
