About AbsolutePatterns

About us: Yarn, Sass & a dash of cat hair

Welcome to the whimsical world of AbsolutePatterns, the coziest corner of the internet where yarn meets charm and every stitch tells a story. We’re a small (and slightly chaotic) team on a mission to bring you the most delightful, creative, and giggle-worthy knitting patterns this side of the internet.

Who we are

Our yarn Boss – CEO & Chief pattern dreamer

Astrid – Knitter. Visionary. Tea enthusiast. Astrid started this shop after one too many tangled skeins led her to an existential crisis and an accidental Etsy empire. With over 20 years of knitting under her belt (and cat fur in her coffee), she’s the fearless leader who believes every problem can be solved with a cable knit and a good pun. Favorite stitch? Garter. Favorite snack? Cheese. Favorite time of day? Yarn o’clock.

The pattern Princesses

Sofie & Klara, the creative duo who design all the fabulous patterns you see in our shop. These two met in a yarn shop brawl over the last skein of limited-edition alpaca wool. It was hate at first stitch… until they discovered they were both designing matching sweaters for their cats. Now, they finish each other’s rows and argue about whether bobbles are “a lifestyle or an aesthetic.” (Answer: both.)

  • Sofie: Thinks charted patterns are a love language. Runs on coffee and leftover Halloween candy.

  • Klara: Keeps 17 WIPs (works in progress) at all times. Claims to “knit better under pressure.”

The customer service Queens

Marvin has left to pursue his dream of becoming a full-time sock model, but fear not — our powerhouse pair, Juno & Lila, now reign supreme in customer support.

  • Juno: Queen of the refund policy. Once knit a full scarf during a single Zoom meeting (it was 2 hours long… and also a blanket).

  • Lila: Professional apologizer, emotional support provider, and low-key tech wizard. Known for sending “you got this!” GIFs at precisely the right moment.

The office Cats

Yes, we have cats. No, they are not helpful. But they are contractually obligated to be cute.

  • Pickles: CFO (Chief Feline Officer). Specializes in walking across keyboards mid-pattern. Currently under investigation for yarn theft.

  • Mochi: Head of Napping & Morale. Brings “pawsitive” energy. Has a side hustle as a lap warmer.
