Reknit

Your knits are never finished.

Reknitting means unravelling an old knit and reusing the yarn to make something new. It's a way to keep up with trends without wasting a thing.

Same yarn. New look. Again and again.

Reknit is both a method and a philosophy: giving old yarn new life through new projects.

How it works

Every Femiknit pattern includes a Reknit section that guides you through it.

01

Find your yarn

An old sweater, a failed project or leftover yarn from your drawer.

02

Unravel it

Take the old knit apart and give the yarn a fresh start.

03

Make a swatch

Find the right gauge. All materials are listed by gauge, so it's easy to match.

04

Knit something new

Follow the Reknit section in your pattern. Same yarn, brand new look.

Play with texture

Small changes in yarn and needle size create new expressions.
