Ranking every PetiteKnit pattern I've ever knit | Woozy by Céline

[@jqphg7978]

23:05 "As long as you hit gauge, that's all that matters." Wise words indeed. As a beginner knitter who always feels pressurized to match all the requirements in a pattern, your words bring me so much relief. I'll subscribe you for that!

[@KatieCassidy-cv1qr]

I wish she would publish a book of patterns, it adds up to buy all her patterns!

[@woozybyceline]

A PetiteKnit book would do so well 😍

[@river1216]

Two of Wands and starcrossed knits are my absolute favorite designers. I do like the PetiteKnit pieces I've made, but since everyone makes them I tend to get bored seeing them in my feed over and over. I love the sporty chic silhouettes from Two of Wands and how many of her patterns are free and more accessible to beginners. Starcrossed knits has the prettiest, most feminine patterns and she always includes super helpful details on customizing the fit, she's also a super sweet person and so funny!

[@Enig_Mata]

I love PetiteKnit patterns - she's an amazing designer who deserves all the hype she receives. I like the timelessness of many of her designs - very wearable everyday patterns that also adapt to common trends.

[@woozybyceline]

100% agreed

[@ptoste1]

I love Petit knit patterns ❤❤❤❤I don’t care if she’s overrated or if some people are jealous or whatever. She’s an amazing designer. Thank you for sharing your insights and work👌👏😍🤩❤️❤️❤️

Maxim Cyr makes lovely men’s sweaters. I knit up the single malt for my husband last year.

[@bebe033]

Agree 100% My husband knits and we call Maxim his knitting boyfriend - he loves Max's patterns :)

[@woozybyceline]

Ahhh thank you, I just checked his IG, LOVE IT!

[@metasymphony]

I also love his patterns, also Jarrod Flood and Martin Storey for men’s sweaters.

[@violinamajorov5667]

That Ingrid sweater looks amazing. She has so many sweater and cardi designs that I would love to knit one day. I've just last week purchased the sophie scarf and the fingerless gloves that I would like to knit in cashmere for me and for my mum as a gift for her birthday and I cannot wait to start working on those. Maybe one day I will brave one of her sweaters too :) Maybe the Cloud sweater. Loved the video. And your Sophie scarf in navy blue looks so good!

[@knittingpossect]

Just came across your podcast. What a great episode! I am a huge fan of Petite Knits. They are such classics in my wardrobe. I just finished the Poppy Tee knit in black and I LOVE IT. I also love my Eva Cardigan. Kim

I’m a new-ish knitter. I learned to crochet when i was around 8 or 9, so i have background with working with fiber. I struggled to understand the ins and outs of knitting until i came across Cocoknits. Julie has a way of explaining things that just made sense to me. If you haven’t heard of Cocoknits or the “Cocoknits method”. I’d highly, highly recommend it.

[@justinamoniz]

The sophie scarf is literally the reason I started knitting! I saw someone wearing one at an organizing event and furiously started googling to figure out how I could make one myself. It ended up being the perfect beginner pattern for me since I liked learning a few techniques in one and didn't mean keeping track of where I was the whole time. I just noted each row with a tally mark on the pattern. Unfortunately, I don't actually wear the two I've made that much, but they have come in handy a few times. The only thing I regret about starting my knitting journey with PetitKnit patterns is that so many other patterns seem imprecise or not well written to me now.

[@Hannah-sj7lk]

your take on petite knits patterns is so informative and fun to watch - thank you 🥰 also wearing a lavender sweater today 💜

[@woozybyceline]

Thank you so much 💜 honestly I need more things in Lavander, it’s so beautiful!

[@christinaheesakacowden-wut3809]

Lol, I am one of those who never knit a Sophie scarf; can you believe it! Call me a party pooper, but it reminds me more of a rope than a scarf, and I can`t stand anything tied around my neck which is that thin and tight. All right, that`s just me. I think Petite Knit has a lot of nice pattern otherwise. The constructions are very unique and I am not used to knitting top down stuff. Back in the day, I started knitting in 1971, we knitted on straight needles and only bottom up, making all the different parts and then sewing them together. Knitting came a long way since then. Love from Germany.

[@woozybyceline]

Thank you for commenting! Yes, mini scarves can bother some people at the neck for sure. So fascinating how knitting techniques have developed 😍

[@kspiceknits]

I love Petite Knit's Monday Sweater. I think I made 3 of them last year. Thanks for the video I purchased the Stockholm and the Northland after watching your video.

I had issues with the eyelet pattern when knitting Anna’s Summer Cardigan as well. I saw someone on Ravelry had omitted them so I just did the same. All your knits are lovely ☺️

[@woozybyceline]

[@levibeknitting]

For men's pattern designers I can recommend Paul Haesemeyer & Maxim Cyr. Never had issues with their sweaters before and they usually fit well and are well written

I love her patterns and am knitting my second champagne cardigan for myself. I've made 2 zipper sweater man sweaters and will be making the lighter version for my husband this year and the woman zipper for me. (Already have the yarn) i have made many of her baby knitts as baby gifts) the most patterns i own from one designer are her patterns and knitting for olive. ❤ love them both!!!!

That is so lovely 😍 With PetiteKnit you just know you’re going to get quality! I love KFO as well ✨

[@crrizello5157]

Thanks for the review. I have made the Anker sweater, which I really love. I look forward to making more of these patterns.

[@mariae9584]

You have a very nice collection of Petiteknit. You sold me on the stockholm sweater. I love the double folded collar and drop shoulder design. I made her Monday sweater which I like but the double folded collar just looks a bit off. I want to make another Monday sweater but next time I will either add more rows to the collar or keep it single. Btw, your lavender sweater is so pretty!

[@woozybyceline]

Thanks so much Yes, Stockholm is a staple for me. It's quite fun modifying patterns! 💜💜

Jared Flood/Brooklyn Tweed have great men's sweaters - I have knit a few for my husband and two teenage sons!

Thank you, this is an excellent review! I was looking for a recommendation on a Petite Knit sweater and now I have it, for myself and my husband. (I also tried the Anna's baby sweater with the eyelets and it was not a success because the pattern did not lead one to success - the yarnover holes were impossible to align.)

[@sibleyhoneybee427]

I've never made a petite knit pattern, but I follow a lot of knitters who do. Right now I'm knitting the Anyday Sweatshirt by Ysolda and I'm really enjoying it. It starts at the back of the shoulders so I think you would like it. ❤🧶

I decided to get back into knitting, and your reviews of the Stockholm and Ingrid patterns made me choose them as my first two wips. Just a quick question, what size of Stockholm did you knit? I chose XS and have gotten a slightly small head opening (just finished the neckline yesterday before knitting the body in the round). I’m concerned I chose the wrong size, whoopsie. Otherwise the pattern is AMAZING. The attention to detail, the ease, really good! So thank you for the inspiration 🫶

[@metasymphony]

I actually haven’t made any Petite Knit patterns because they look too store bought for me. But I love watching these videos and seeing all the makes on different people and hearing what they thought about the patterns. I did buy the pattern for the Anker tee so I want to make that one.

[@woozybyceline]

Absolutely, something that looks handmade has a wonderful charm that the store bought looking garments just don't have. I love my Ranunculus top by Midori Hirose because it has such a lovely handmade quality, it's so cute! I think the Anker Tee is definitely one of those PetiteKnit patterns that look more organic, I've been eyeing it for a while 😍

[@metasymphony]

Hello I am currently making the Ingrid sweater and love it. I find it so much fun to knit. Having said that I have run into a question on the Body chart. Row 19, the first stitch on the chart?

[@janicecheney4660]

Your video has completely sold me on PetiteKnit's patterns, and I am sharing your video with a friend who will absolutely love it too! Question: Have you made the Lulu Slipover from PetiteKnit and do you have any first-hand experience to share about it? I am getting ready to start it using Rowan Felted Tweed but want to modify the neckline to be not as substantial as shown on the website - almost a turtleneck. Do you have any recommendations as to how I can modify the pattern to make the neck band more like a crew neck? Perhaps using the instructions from a different PetiteKnit sweater pattern? Thanks for your insight and the great video.

[@annaconcepcion3181]

Stunning 😍 every single one! Question: you mentioned loving the construction of the Ingrid sweater, I’ve never knit a sweater with that construction and I was wondering if you had any recommendations for simple patterns with a similar construction to try first before I attempt the Ingrid? - coming from a intermediate beginner knitter 🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@woozybyceline]

Thank you for your comment 🤗The Stockholm Sweater by PetiteKnit essentially has the same construction, it only doesn't have short rows on the back panel, so it's a great one to test the waters. I've also made the Typical Mohair Slipover by Typical Bliss in this construction (which you can substitute the mohair with any other fibre btw). Some other PetiteKnit patterns that I'm pretty sure are in this construction (that I haven't knit) are the Cloud Sweater, Sonja Sweater, Melange Sweater. Hope this helps xx

[@Hasmiral]

You did a very good job knitting all the beautiful sweaters, well done! I am from germany and have been knitting since I was 4 years old. I knitted a few of Petite Knit's patterns (cumulus blouse 3, sunday cardigan, saturday night sweater, novice sweater chunky edition, holiday slipover) and I really enjoy them all. I also like patterns of my favorite things knitwear (a beautiful classic is sweater no12, cardigan no 7, sweater no 14 v-neck) and also le knit (dahlia sweater and dahlia my size) are amazing patterns. And for really experienced knitters I can recommend the clotilde cardigan by knitting for olive. One of my favorites but I started over several times and really wanted to cry twice ;-)

My favourite designer is definitely Fabel Knitwear, with Lily Kate France as close second. From Petite Knit, I've only ever knitted the Sophie sisters. I didn't have to count the decreases because of the row counter app I use - I just plugged them in and the app warned me when they were due. But yeah, they're a bit overrated. Cute and nice for a gift, though. As for men's sweaters, the two names that come to mind are Maxim Cyr and Jared Flood. Both have amazing and well-rounded masculine designs

This was an amazing pattern that I made for my husband. It was a relatively quick knit as its for Arun weight. (I did in worsted and it worked out fine, but I knit a little loose, so guage was no problem. I did the crew collar, not rolled, as I feel the same about the rolled color as you do, too bulky!!

[@amywhoknits]

Love this video so much!!! Why do you think petite knit rated the Ingrid sweater as a 5 for difficulty?

[@woozybyceline]

Thank youu ❤️ I think it’s because there are many different techniques within it. Mock cables, short rows, charts etc. Also, some instructions aren’t explained all the way, the pattern assumes you are more of an experienced knitter. It says stuff like “carry short rows in pattern”, which isn’t the most straightforward for some beginners. That being said, the techniques themselves aren’t terribly complicated, and there are so many good videos to get help from 🤗

Dear, her business is literally called PETITEKNIT, petite as in small, tiny. She def has a specific market of people on her mind for her designs.

She has amazing construction and has made a profitable business over an art that is very hard to profit from, she is NOT overrated.
