ABOUT UNLUCKY
Behind Unlucky Knits you'll find me;
Anna, a 25 year old knitwear designer - a graduate from Copenhagen School of Design and Technology where I specialized in sustainability and technology within the fashion industry.
I have an extremely high standard for my knitting patterns and I take pride in presenting professional patterns and cute designs for all bodytypes.
VALUES
All Unlucky Knits designs and patterns are created with special attention to three specific values;
Quality, inclusivity and creativity.
Unlucky Knits patterns are of high quality, created by a professional designer and therefore crafted with a professional understanding of construction and fitting.
The patterns are visually pleasing and easily legible. The patterns all include a small glossary for knitting terms used, a thorough description and visualization of the garment's measurements and fit, detailed drawings, an extensive size guide and a customization guide.
Size inclusivity is a very important part of Unlucky Knits, and all patterns include sizes ranging from XXS-5XL. But since size inclusivity doesn't mean simply offering a wide range of sizes, Unlucky Knits patterns also include several different fits for different body types and a customization-guide that shows you how to adjust the garment to your body. Every size is designed with care for the construction and fit.
Note: this applies to all patterns released from june 2023 and after
Knitting is my creative free space.
I design, sketch, test and develop each design myself, as well as write, calculate, size graduate and translate each pattern. Creating an Unlucky Knits pattern is a long process, so I only create designs I truly find inspiring. When I began knitting, I found a lack in knitwear designs that appealed to my own style - I was missing some colorful, fun, young designs. Unlucky Knits creates a middle way between the fun of a trendy design and the slow-fashion value of a hand knitted garment.
COLLABORATIONS
Unlucky Knits has worked with many brands and organizations, and I am always open to a collaboration. Co-opetition over competition!
Hobbii
I have developed a knitting design for the arts and crafts website Hobbii, made specifically for their X yarn. The pattern is called the Call Me Back Sweater - and it's free!
Femina
The Call Me Back Sweater knitting pattern was featured in 2022's august issue of danish lifestyle magazine Femina
Hugs and Food
In winter 2022, Unlucky Knits launched a series of free knitting patterns for easy, warm accessories. The point of these patterns is for you to use up your scrap yarn by making warm accessories and donating them to your local shelter for the homeless. Hugs and Food is my local shelter, which the Hugs and Knits project is named after, and whose volunteers I have consulted before writing the patterns.
