Reknit instructions

Because every existing knitted garment is different, it is impossible to produce conventional, ‘closed’ patterns for reknitting. Instead, Amy creates flexible ‘recipes’ that you can adapt to suit the particularities of your item.

So far, she has created these detailed instructions – including step-by-step animations, examples of existing projects, instructional videos, guidance on design and top tips – for five reknit treatments:
