Andrea Rangel

I'm Andrea and I'm passionate about making and exploring. I live in Victoria, BC and spend most of my time creating knitting patterns, but I also adore sewing, photography and being outside cycling and hiking. Being a part of the making community has been incredibly valuable to me and I hope my contributions of patterns and books inspire other makers.

I've written a whole lot of patterns and three books, KnitOvation Stitch Dictionary, AlterKnit Stitch Dictionary, and Rugged Knits! I'm @AndreaRangelKnits on Instagram.

I love pretty much everything about knitting, so you'll find sweaters, socks, leggings, hats, shawls, and lots more among my patterns. I'm all about a good challenge, so I happily dive into all the techniques like lace, colorwork, and cables, though I can knit Stockinette for miles too. My patterns are meticulous and clear and I offer free pattern support, so send me an email if you ever have a question about one of my designs!
