ABOUT

I launched my knitting pattern brand, Marie Amelie Designs, in order to share with my
customers my taste in modern and feminine garments. Knitters will discover new
techniques for obtaining interesting details and polished finishing, making them not
only feel proud to have knitted one of my patterns but also to wear what they have
made.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing what you’ve made with my patterns so don’t
forget to tag me on Instagram using #marieameliedesigns.
