I'm Chantal Miyagishima, a Canadian knitting pattern designer and the founder of Knitatude — a brand I built around making the craft feel joyful, accessible, and worth showing off. I've channeled years of obsession with yarn and needles into designing patterns that people are proud to wear, and I've written a book along the way to share what I've learned.

I genuinely believe knitting is better with friends. There's something about the combination of creativity, community, and the quiet satisfaction of finishing a project that I want everyone to get to experience — which is why I'm always finding new ways to show up for the knitting community, whether that's designing a new pattern or going live every Friday.
