My story

My name is Kirsten Ascanius, and I am a Danish Pattern Maker based in Edina, Minnesota, USA, where I live with my husband and my two youngest children.
For more than 15 years, I have worked with patternmaking and design. Here I was in charge of the patternmaking for leading high-fashion brands in Copenhagen, Denmark.
My passion for knitting began in late 2022 when I started attending the knitting club and classes at the lovely yarn store Harriet & Alice located at the popular corner of 50th and France in Edina, Minneapolis, MN; see Harriet & Alice (harrietandalice.com).
The atmosphere in the store is warm and friendly, and the staff are the sweetest and most awesome people! I still attend the knitting club and classes.
My intention on this web page is to publish the knitting patterns for the designs I have created. A craft I love so much, and my passion grows daily. Hopefully, I will be able to work 100% based on my own hand-knitting designs.
Stay tuned as more patterns will be added in the time to come.
If you have comments, suggestions, questions or need knitting support, please do not hesitate to reach out on Kirsten@AscaniusKnitting.com.
Please note and respect that the knitting patterns are for private use only. The patterns and the finished products may not be copied, sold, or otherwise distributed. Thank you.
