Patty Lyons

Teacher and Designer · Brooklyn, New York

Patty Lyons is a nationally recognized knitting teacher and technique expert. In her pursuit of training the mindful knitter, Patty is known for teaching the “why” in addition to the “how.” She specializes in sweater design and sharing her love of the much-maligned subjects of gauge and blocking.

Wherever knitters are gathered, there is a good chance of finding Patty. She teaches all over the United States at guilds, shops and knitting shows. Patty’s popular classes can also be found on DVD, and online at Interweave, Annie’s and Craftsy, where her “Improve Your Knitting Class” was named the most popular class of 2013.

Patty’s designs and knitting technique articles have been published in Vogue Knitting, Interweave Knits, Knit Purl, Knitter’s Magazine, Cast On, Knit Style, Creative Knitting, and Twist Collective. Her designs have also appeared in pattern collections from Classic Elite, Noro, Cascade, Tahki Stacy Charles, Sugar Bush and Willow Yarns. Her video sweater classes can help every knitter achieve their dream sweater. You can find Patty on the regular at her website and on Ravelry.
