Q. How often is Knitty published?
A. We publish four times a year. March, June, September and December --
as close to the beginning of the month as possible.
To stay in touch and always get an e-mail notice the moment the new issue
is ready, join the Knittyreader list using the box above.
Q. What is Knitty's policy on diversity, discrimination, and racism?
A. Knitty will not condone or tolerate any form of racism and discrimination. We believe in being an inclusive and welcoming publication where all people can see themselves in our pages. Our staff are working on their own to become good anti-racist allies.
Knitty actively encourages people of all skin colors, body sizes, heritages, abilities, gender identities, and ages to participate in Knitty. We are reaching out to specifically encourage Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) – knitters, crocheters, and spinners – to consider sending their work to Knitty, and are actively scouting BIPOC contributors and models. For more information, please see our Submission Guidelines page.
Q. I'd like to support Knitty.
A. Pop over to this page to find all the options (we have reward and non-reward support options)! We can't do this without you!
Q. When will the surprises be up?
A. A little while after each issue
is published [no, we're not telling...it's a surprise!],
we add a surprise pattern or two. You'll find them, when they're
ready, at the end of the pattern thumbnails on the main pattern
page -- the "patterns"
link in the bar above. If the SURPRISE
link isn't active, it means the surprises aren't ready for you
yet. To stay in touch and always get an e-mail notice when the
surprises are released, join the Knittyreader list using the
box above. We only send out a few messages each year.
Q. How can I print your patterns?
A. Beginning with the FALL 08 issue,
If you select PRINT from your computer's
menu, a printer-friendly version of
the page will be printed including
all pictures, charts and schematics
-- that's the default setting. There
are also two new buttons at the top
right of each content page.

this button and the printer
window will automatically appear,
allowing you to print the full
printer-friendly page. |
Click
this button and the printer
window will automatically appear,
allowing you to print the printer-friendly
page with just the first picture,
all charts and schematics.
This option is handy when you
want to save paper/ink and
keep the printed pattern as
compact as possible. |
Not sure which version you want to print?
Click the appropriate button above and select PREVIEW in the
printer window. It will show you what will print before you
actually use up your paper and ink.
Here's a tutorial showing how to make a PDF of any Knitty Pattern:
Q. Where can I find errata for a specific
pattern?
A. To keep things simple, errors
are corrected directly in each pattern, and highlighted
in bright pink so they stand out. If you find an error
in a pattern, please contact the designer at the e-mail address
at the bottom of their pattern. The designer will contact Knitty
and let us know about it so we can check it out and fix it.
Q. I'm looking for a specific pattern.
How can I find it?
A. Click the "Pattern Library"
button at the top of any page. A
full listing of all patterns can be found in the What would you like to knit drop-down menu, sorted by category. Articles and Tutorials can be found at the What would you like to read drop-down menu. You can also browse the issues by cover on this page.
Here's a video tour of how our Library works:
Q. Knitty's patterns are free? Really?
A. Yes, they're free for your personal,
individual use. You may print out a copy to work with. You may not reformat
the pattern for commercial use, and you may not sell them
or items made FROM Knitty patterns. The copyright for each
pattern and article belongs to the designer or author. Any
usage beyond what's mentioned here must be negotiated with
the designer or author.
Q. I own a yarn shop and would love
to offer Knitty patterns to my customers. What can I do?
A. We got you! Please visit this page for some great
