Hi! I’m Barb—the knitter, designer, and caffeine-fueled coordinator behind Barbanne Designs. With 20+ years of knitting (and 5 years of crochet) under my belt, I create patterns that celebrate intricate details: flowing lace, bold cables, and striking mosaic colorwork.

Every design is crafted with care to ensure a fun, frustration-free knit from cast-on to bind-off. I’m inspired by indie-dyed yarns, rich jewel tones, and a love of storytelling—whether it’s a serene Estonian-inspired shawl or a heartfelt double-knit throw honoring a beloved pet.

You can purchase my patterns right here on Ravelry and on Etsy, & LoveCrafts.com.

If you’ve knit one of my designs and want to show it off, please create a project page! Seeing your makes truly makes my day. Don’t forget to post your progress on the socials and tag me! I’d love to see how you’re progressing.

When I’m not knitting, you’ll find me hanging out with my dog Bonnie (with a big iced coffee in hand, of course).

Come knit along with me—you bring the yarn, I’ll bring the pattern!

Find yarn options for my patterns—and curated yarn + pattern kits—through my affiliate partners Bad Sheep Yarn, Expression Fiber Arts, Knit Picks, and Jimmy Beans Wool.
