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.

a knitted, patchworked fabric that read "HELLO" in different languages

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
