About
Knit Them is the first and biggest trans knitting community online, by and for trans knitters. What stemmed as a website where Tex would upload patterns they seemed trans-friendly, grew into a community of thousands of us around the world. With a booming discord, the trans tester pool, knit-a-longs and more, Knit Them is now a space of belonging for trans people within fiber craft. While Knit Them is trans-focused, we also help designers write more gender-inclusive patterns and aim to raise awareness for practices in place that create barriers for trans folks in the knitting community.
Moreover, this is also an archive of queer making. It’s so powerful to make our own clothes, to shape our clothing how we want to instead of gendered industry standards. That’s why knitting, and in the bigger sense making, is pivotal to the trans experience. We hope finding a pattern that suits you and your body makes you feel safer and more like you belong in a world where it’s easy to think you don’t.
To anyone who’s felt that same disconnect when knitting, we hope there is something here that can make you feel good too.
Team Knit Them :)
