Knitting

When Alice Beltran told us her idea for knitting patterns that use the form of comic strips, we nearly lost our minds. There’s something so tidy, and irresistible, about seeing pattern instructions rather than relying on old-school text patterns. For beginning knitters—and every knitter—we are proud to introduce Knitstrips. With drawings by Juliana “Coloring Book for Knitters” Horner, there’s much to take in here. We hope you’ll share this free pattern with all your knitter friends, whether Betty or Veronica.

Visual learners, this one’s for you.

About the designer

Alice Beltran lives in Long Beach, California with her family, who she loves covering in handknits. She has taught beginning knitting and rarely knits things that don’t require significant design input because she likes making it up. She grew up on Archie comic books. Later on, Len Deighton’s Action Cook Book showed her that comics could be instructive.

Alice recently opened a new shop of beautiful hand-crafted jewelry for handknits, CostumeJewelryHabit. Michelin rating: Worth a Detour.

About the designer

A Pratt Institute graduate, Juliana Horner works in fine art, textile design, garment design and illustration. We were frankly stunned when she agreed to do the illustrations for The Modern Daily Knitting Coloring Book for Knitters. Now, we are even more thrilled that she is working with Alice Beltran on the new series of illustrated patterns, Knitstrips.
