Hi, I’m Laura.
I live near to the seaside on the south coast of England and learned to sew and knit as an adult…crafting has become part of my every day now.

Here you’ll find interesting patterns with clean, contemporary lines that can slot easily into your wardrobe. I enjoy taking inspiration from vintage styling and adapting it for more modern aesthetics.

Adventurous beginners should be able to knit these patterns, and you can find additional tutorials and knitalongs at West Beach Knits’ sister blog, www.sewingandotherstories.com, which has a wealth of resources for knitters and sewists.

You can also check out the West Beach Knits You Tube channel for mini tutorials, product guides and regular episodes of the podcast.

You can find me on Instagram as @westbeachknits for pattern related content, or for wider knitting and sewing @petitepassions.
