From the Creator of Typeknitting, ‘Knit Hello’ Is a Font and a Knitting Pattern in One

When it comes to knitting complex motifs, a pattern is a needleworker’s best friend. But what if you want to customize one yourself? What about text? Fortunately, Zurich-based designer Rüdiger Schlömer wondered the same thing, resulting in a series of typefaces for knitting. Under the project umbrella of Typeknitting, his new font is called Knit Hello, which works by typing the digital letters into a word processing program like you would with any other font. As you go, a knitting pattern develops at the same time, making it easy to create a beginner-friendly design that you can endlessly customize.

Download free trial fonts on the Typeknitting website, or purchase a style that meets the kind of knitting you do, whether on a machine or by hand. And say “hey” to two patterns for full fan scarves, available via Ravelry, on the Knit Hello website.

digital typeface examples that read "HEY," "HOLA," "CIAO," "HI" and "SALUT," which double as knitting patterns
a small knitted fabric piece that reads "HELLO" in red and white yarn, with knitting needles and yarn around it
