Vanessa Smith

Based in Washington, USA Vanessa Smith began self-publishing patterns in June 2010.

She's a self-taught designer who enjoys creating pullovers, cardigans, shawls and other accessories that feature harmonious textures and thoughtfully curated details. All of her patterns have a modern chic appeal and her sweaters are especially recognisable by their flattering silhouettes.

Vanessa takes pride in developing thorough, well-written and beautifully presented patterns in order to create a pleasant knitting experience. And,whether the maker is a novice or experienced knitter, as a self-taught knitter and designer she aims to inspire and empower them to continue building upon their skills.

Her self published patterns are available in PDF format from her website and her pattern store on Ravelry.
