I love to knit—and I want you to love it too

Hi, I’m Ekaterina (or Katy), the creative heart behind KatyTricot Knits. Originally from Russia, I’ve called France home since 2005. It was here that I left my day job, picked up my needles, and rediscovered my true passion for knitting. Seven years later, I began to design patterns for my little daughter who is the inspiration behind my creations.

My designs run from cute accessories to comfortable garments. Some feature playful animal characters with a naive, whimsical quality to them that perfectly suit both children and grown ups. They are so fun & addictive you can’t wait to knit them again and again 🙂

 Others combine minimalism and simplicity with coziness and attention to details to make them unique.  I get inspired by the beauty of nature, music, paintings, smell of wool and the touch of wooden needles. 

I love the endless versatility of knitting. Whether it’s the techniques or the textures of yarn, there’s always something new to discover. There are no limits—only imagination. And beyond creativity, knitting is my calm. When the day feels heavy, a few quiet rows help stitch the stress away.
