Hello I'm Kate, the designer-maker behind Little Knitted Stars. After lecturing in Textile Design at UMIST and The University of Manchester for many years I decided to set up my own business to produce a range of unique, premium quality machine knitted accessories. My hats, scarves and snoods for men, women or children are the ideal finishing touches to an outfit and make perfect gifts. My products feature geometric patterning and are knitted in 100% British spun, high quality merino lambswool which is super soft to the touch.

From initial sketches, I design and hand punch original punchcard patterns. I choose from a palette of lambswool yarns, and knit the products on my domestic knitting machines. There are no computers involved - the whole design and creation process is completed by hand using vintage knitting technology. The products are then washed, finished, packaged and dispatched from my Manchester studio.
