KNITWEAR DESIGNER · UTAH, USA
One pattern.Zero grannyenergy.
I'm Zach. I could have released twelve half-finished patterns this year. Instead there is exactly one — knit and re-knit until the shoulders behaved, graded across five sizes (S–2XL), and proofed until I was sick of my own handwriting.

Saturday Sheer Mesh Raglan
A top-down cotton mesh raglan you can wear all summer
The Saturday Sheer is knit in 100% cotton — lightweight, breathable, and actually wearable in July. Worked seamlessly from the top down with a raglan yoke and short rows, so body and sleeve length are yours to decide. Five sizes, graded so the mesh repeat and false seam land right where they should.

Why only one
No mystery ease.Top to bottom. Length is yours.No doilies.
A pattern catalogue is easy. A pattern that fits a 32" bust and a 50" bust equally well — in open cotton mesh, with the repeat landing in the same spot on every size — is not. So there is one, worked top-down so the body and sleeve length are actually yours. Every size graded on paper, a schematic for each, and enough proofing passes that I rewrote the yoke twice on my own. When something still slips through I post the fix publicly and you get the corrected file free, forever. No re-buying version two.

- Me. Hi.
How the sausage is made
Swatch, grade, knit, proof.
01
Swatch
Roughly eleven of them. Ten go in the bin. It's fine, I'm fine.
02
Grade
Every single size on paper before I'm allowed to have fun.
03
Knit
I knit the sample from the written pattern. If it's wrong, I feel it first.
04
Proof
I read my own pattern until the numbers blur. Then I read it again. Then I fix it.

How I actually write a pattern
From the first swatch to the final PDF — the unglamorous middle of designing a garment people can knit without messaging me at midnight.

Substituting yarn without ruining the fabric
Gauge is the start of the conversation, not the end of it. Here's what I check before swapping the yarn in one of my patterns.

Blocking is not optional
The step everyone skips, and the reason your finished object looks homemade instead of handmade.
Community
Buy the pattern, say hello.
It's where the half-finished sleeves, the questionable yarn substitutions and the 1am "is this supposed to look like this?" photos live. Nobody will tell you to frog it. Probably.
Pattern two
There will be a second one. Eventually.
Email me your address and I'll tell you when it exists — plus errata for this one. Rare, actually useful, one click to escape. No "hey knitter!!" energy.
Still here?
Go on then.Cast something on.
