Knife Grinder's Daughter

During my college years, I spent my holiday breaks immersing myself in the family business, which revolved around the intricate craft of sharpening industrial knives on the factory floor. During those chilly months, I often found comfort in my favorite crew-neck sweatshirts. Looking back, I cherish those days and the warmth they provided. As a way to bridge the gap between my past experiences and my present life, I designed The Knife Grinder’s Daughter—a unique knitting pattern that embodies the spirit of those beloved sweatshirts.

The Knife Grinder’s Daughter is artfully knit from the bottom up in the round, creating a beautiful seamless garment. This design features a continuous stripe of ribbing that runs elegantly from the side hems, wrapping up the body and gracefully down the sleeves to the wrists. This detail adds both style and texture, making it an eye-catching piece for any wardrobe.
