Pattern Design Circle exists to help you cut through the noise and make decisions that actually fit you: your business, your energy, and your goals.
Hi, I'm Jessica
I’m a knitting pattern designer who’s been navigating the industry since 2019 -- designing, publishing, collaborating, and learning through real experience.
As a designer, I struggled to find honest, practical guidance about the business side of pattern design. Most resources were either too generic, too surface-level, or didn’t account for the nuances of our industry.
Founded in 2021, Pattern Design Circle grew out of that gap.
It’s where I share the clarity, strategies, and real-world context I wish I’d had — so you don’t have to piece everything together alone.
You can access grounded guidance, practical education, and long-term strategies without needing to keep up with trends or performative marketing.
Built by and for pattern designers
Pattern Design Circle is shaped by lived industry experience, including:
- Designing and publishing knit patterns since 2019
- Leading and coordinating a collaborative knit & crochet magazine
- Hosting and curating 50+ guest expert trainings covering design, business, marketing, and sustainability
- Featuring and amplifying other designers through podcasts, interviews, and collaborations
- Ongoing work focused on honest conversations about pattern design as a business
Everything I create is designed to be practical, industry-aware, and genuinely useful, so you don’t have to keep piecing things together on your own.
