From striking lace and cables, to comforting knit and purl, 9 Months of Knitting has patterns for knitters of every skill level. Baby leg-warmers, a grandpa cardigan, and a hand-knitted undersea garden: Alexa and Emily have created patterns with a signature mix of retro quirkiness and playful attitude.

Find photos, yarn and needle requirements for each pattern or to purchase individual patterns here on Ravelry.

Tin Can Knits is the collaboration of two Canadian designers and good friends of Urban Yarns; Alexa Ludeman and Emily Wessel.

Designing together since 2010, they’ve published 8 books, a free learn-to-knit collection, and a collaborative e-book to raise money for malaria prevention. Their business has grown alongside their families, so their books are a window into their evolving design style and their rapidly growing little ones!
