What Really Cool People Are Saying
“Knit Sisu patterns are easy to follow and are written in a way that feels like my knitting teacher is in the room with me. The Not Your Nana’s Poncho gets you in the knitting grove! It allows you to practice four primary stitches that carry over into other Knit Sisu patterns.”
— Jen
“The Baby it’s Breezy poncho is super cozy, perfect for sipping coffee at home or wearing on a walk by the beach. The pattern was easy to follow, with clear instructions and positive encouragement along the way, too!”
— Emily
“Knit Sisu patterns are straightforward, lighthearted, and educational - not to mention so fun to make! They are written in a clear, conversational tone that makes you think, ‘I can totally do this!’ and include very helpful tips and tricks to foster that success. More importantly, the end result is always a beautifully classic and modern piece that has friends begging for one themselves.”
