Nothing like a big dose of inspiration! Etsy is always a playground for incredible knit and crochet creations, but over the past week, I’ve been finding more and more shops that are so amazing. Not only are the pieces and patterns incredible, but it seems most of the shop owners are personally comforted by knitting and crocheting, which makes their work even better.

Here are my top ten favorite knitting/crocheting shops on Etsy.

The Knit Kid is a Berlin-based shop that sells high-quality knitwear pieces. These colorful, striking tops and dresses are knitted by fashion design graduate Sabrina Weigt. “My business is 100% me,” she says. “I’m unique, and therefore my business is, too.” Unique and impressive.

The Velvet Acorn sells the MOST ADORABLE kids’ hat, scarf, and hood patterns. Shop owner Heidi May is inspired by both nature and her children, and it comes across perfectly in her pattern designs: earthy tones, flowers and leaves everywhere. Not to mention the super-cute animal hoods. I also love the chic, slouchy hats. “There is just something about wrapping up in a wonderfully handmade item,” Heidi May says. I couldn’t agree more.

Andy Ve Eirn is owned by Yael Scharaby, who graduated with a degree in textile design and a specialty in knitting. Her stunning knit pieces for adults are perfectly crafted, I am in love with them! She’s been a featured seller on Etsy, and was also showcased on The Martha Stewart Show. I think she will go far. Read more →
