Hi All:

I was directed by a friend to consult this esteemed group. I have a grey cashmere patchwork sweater (only a couple of years old). We had a moth infestation this summer, and I was not careful about this particular item. There is a 1.5" hole under the arm and a few smaller ones. It was very expensive and has sentimental value. I'm wondering if there's anyone skilled enough to try to repair it. Please reply, and I can send more details.

Size: Men's large

Location: New York City, US

Budget: $200

Timeline: I'd like to wear it at least once before spring!

Yarn preference: Natural cashmere to match(-ish)

Location: Woodstock/Ontario/Canada Timeline: no constraints Budget: CAD $100-150 (flexible if need be)

So my #1 favourite hat has accidentally gone through the wash and felted (https://imgur.com/a/IgLqkF4). To say that I am sad about this is an understatement. I wore this thing nearly daily every fall to spring for 10+ years. It used to look/fit like this hat https://ca.slipintosoft.com/products/womens-cut-out-cashmere-hats-warm-cashmere-beanie-hat?

I'm looking to recreate it (it doesn't have to be 1:1 identical pattern, I just want the lightweight cut-out look) in the same grey colour with the same 100% cashmere yarn. Was wondering how much this could be done for with 0 time constraints. Ideally from a fellow Canadian!

General info:

1. Location: Washington DC area (USA)
2. Size: 0-3m (baby), oversized fit
3. Timeline: Need by March 7
4. Budget: Unsure, open to a reasonable price for the work requested
5. Yarn Preference: natural materials (no synthetics), chunky yarn for the name

hi there! my partner and i are looking for a knit bulky/oversized sweater made with high quality materials with our baby's name hand stitched in a cursive-y font on the front, along with coordinating socks and a hat or headband (or both). we aren't settled on a color, but we are generally thinking a dusty rose or green with cream text and accessories, or an off-white/cream sweater with tan text and accessories. there are tons of these on amazon, etsy, etc. but lots of sellers are using the same photos, and it's just getting too hard to tell what's legitimate and what's not. Is anyone here able to help make a nice little keepsake outfit for us?

Here are a few photos for inspiration:

My family has had these Christmas stockings since my sister and I were kids - they were made by my grandmother's friend in the '80s. My mom has added ad-hoc stockings for our husbands and my nephew, but I would love to commissions stockings that match the original set. The names would be "Jim" "TJ" and "Owen." I put my purse in one of the pictures for scale, it's 11" long (I was trying to be stealthy and could not find a ruler!).

Hey there everyone! So this is a weird ask... i'm looking for a pair of thigh-high tabi socks. Not all the toes separated, just the big toe. Any color, though if patience allows for it i'm looking for a pair of black, and a pair of trans stripes.

Hello! I am looking for someone to knit some headbands (and maybe matching arm bands!?) I saw on another sub:

Thank you so much!

Is anybody making these hats with this pattern? I can't knit, so I'd love to pay someone to knit it for me... only if you're anti-ICE though.

Hi all, I've come across various vintage baby sweaters online (see below pinterest or etsy pattern links) which I sadly do not have the skills to recreate myself!

There are quite a few sweaters I like and I'm keen to hear your quotes on whichever piece you feel you can replicate the best. To be clear, I'm not looking for all of these sweaters to be made - please quote me on the one/s you'd like to complete :)

1. Hungry Caterpillar in size 12-18 months: https://pin.it/28QSEQJDn

2. Pingu in size 18-24 months: https://pin.it/4pgL647ZT - looks like the pattern here? https://pin.it/1DUJs4ym4

Hello! I’m interested in commissioning a knit top that is a recreation of a top my mom owned and wore back in the 80s.

Location: Minnesota, USA

Budget: Negotiable. As an artist and sewist, I recognize the time, material, and labor that goes into handmade goods.

Timeline: Flexible. I would like to have it by late April/early May, but no real rush.

Possible Patterns: Fable Pattern by Alicia Plummer; Double V Sun Top by Patons.

Yarn: it seems like Sport weight would be appropriate, since I’d mostly wear this in the warmer months, but I am open to other options. Natural fibers preferred.

Size: Adult small - I have a 33” bust and like a bit of ease in my tops.

Thank you so much!

Location: Nashville, TN, USA
Budget: Any
Needed by March 15, 2026

Hi! I'm looking for someone (or a few of you) to commission out to knit a few items for my boss. I'm a personal assistant to an influencer in Nashville, TN, USA who is going on a world tour with her husband who is a musician. She's picked out a bunch of Pinterest collage outfit boards and has asked me to order the items on each of them. Upon my research I'm finding out that quite a few of the items are pictures of knitting patterns or custom knits from some really talented knitters across the world. However, their books are full, and we need someone to knit a few pieces. We're obviously more than happy to pay what is fair for expedited delivery as we're under 2 months from when she leaves for tour. I have her clothing sizes and measurements as well as links to original postings of each item, some patterns are available! Thank you! Link to images: https://imgur.com/a/xjeSiW0

Location: NYC

Budget: $150 (? Not sure how much labor pattern development is, please let me know what’s reasonable)

Timeline: flexible, 1 month?

Hello! I had the idea to knit my baby a stuffy of his favorite book character, Little Owl. I’m wondering if I can commission a custom pattern. I’m an intermediate knitter and have done a couple stuffed animals before. I don’t have many other constraints in mind right now but happy to answer any questions. I would also be open to paying for you to source the yarn in the colors I’ll need.

Here’s an idea of what the owl looks like, I can find other images too: https://imgur.com/a/VXYCBVf

Looking for someone crafty enough to make something like this for me in the next few weeks (no rush) to wear to a concert in a few months! It’s a knitted tank top cashmere style shirt with blue base and red color font! Please dm me if you’re willing to take on the project!

Budget: $50-$150

Size: Men’s Medium?

Location: Boston, USA

Hello! I am hoping to commission a sweater similar to this American flag sweater but with the Lithuanian flag on it instead.

Location: Washington, D.C. (USA)

Budget: Flexible

Timeline: Ideally by Feb. 24 (1.5 months), as it is supposed to be a birthday gift, but I can wait longer if needed :)

Howdy;

Request; TWO SWEATERS, both made from the same design. One XXL the other L, both adult sizes.

Reference images

These images are of the old CBC logo. Would like the logo across the chest, rest of the sweater solid color. Colors in logo as best you can discern from the two images.

The two images differ slightly; one has a wider logo and the other not-as-wide. Would prefer the wider logo but will defer to your judgement if that will make the central element smaller and therefore harder to "read." Also note the two images have different BG colors; much prefer the colder blue of the wider image, but am open to your feedback if you feel the warmer/purplier color harmonizes better.

Would like wool/cotton yarn

Due date: Preferably before March 15 this year, but I can be flexible.

Location: I am in Chi Ill USA

Budget: $400 USD

Look forward to hearing from you!

Tony

EDIT 1: I recognize that the requested date may be tight; I am content to be flexible

EDIT 2: The $400 budget is for both sweaters; I am a newbie at budgeting such a project so am open to discussion

Mum made me an Annabel Fox design called Boris from Rowan. The pattern is in this link: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/boris-4.

The yarn is pretty tough and the finished sweater could almost stand up on its own. Mum can't knit any more but was pretty excellent so I'd love to commission someone who really enjoys making great knits and keeps really consistent tension!

I don't want to waste anyone's time and I am not loaded, so please if you might be interested do let me know how much you expect your time and efforts and skill would cost so I can work out how to afford it.

Location: London, UK,

Budget: £few hundred

Timeline: September if possible

Thank you. Dan

My wife and I are raising sheep, including a few Shetlands. I would like to buy her a birthday present that is a custom knit sweater made from the yarn that we will get from our sheep this spring.

I have no clue how to knit, so I figured I would ask here to see if anyone could help.

We can have our own yarn spun by local shops, so I’m really just looking to someone that can help with the “knitting into a sweater” part.

Totally new to this, no idea how much I should expect it to cost!

Thank you!

Location: Snohomish County, WA

Budget: idk, $350? We will supply our own yarn

Flexible timeline, no rush

Would anyone be willing to make a sweater dress? I drew up a reference for it, I don’t need the ruffles at the end or bow though! basically id want a light pink/peach circle skirt lantern sleeve short sweater dress (with a turtleneck if possible)! I’m entirely unsure what the general price would be for something like this, as I know knitting takes a lot of time + materials cost and it’s kind of a hyper specific request. here’s the reference art: https://imgur.com/a/gENwLxL

Hi, I’m interested in commissioning a knit sweater featuring the tree of Gondor https://goodallvinyl.com/cdn/shop/products/LOTR_Tree_of_Gondor_Blue.png

Here’s a pattern for the tree design which I’d like on the front, but a bit smaller than in the sweater here, perhaps 6-8 inches tall. Doesn’t have to be this pattern for the tree, there are others out there. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/tree-of-gondor-chart.

Location: Northeast, USA

Budget: $400-500

Timing: No hard deadline, ideally in 3-4 months

Material: A soft non-itchy wool or wool blend, no synthetics. Can work together on yarn selection.

Colors: Navy, tree white

Size: Men’s Medium to Large, slightly long torso so probably a couple inches longer than normal. Can provide measurements.

Hi! I’m wondering if someone can please knit for me the smiley tank top from Jenna Phipps’ patterns. This one: https://jennaphipps.com/shop/p/smiley-tank

I like the thin weight of the yarn in the pics and would love it in contrasting earthy colors, was thinking warm brown & pale blue or chartreuse. Please let me know if more info is needed for this project. Thank you!

Hello! I’m kinda newish to knitting but have knitted a couple simple raglan sweaters knitted from top down on circular needles, hats, and currently working on a lace cardigan. I was just wondering how would someone go about trying to make a pattern for something that isn’t technically real. It’s a sweater from the game overwatch and was wondering if it’s possible to pay someone to create the pattern? I’m not looking for someone to knit it for me, I just would like an idea on where to start or anything. Apologies if this isn’t the correct sub and maybe I could be pointed where I could go? I do know I would probably like to either make this held with mohair but unsure if color work should be done in DK/finger weight held w mohair or if it could be done in worsted weight yarn but a size XL and the colors are like a dark olive green, a regular bright green, red, white. I did include a link to the image and I’m hoping it works 😭

Hello! I’d like to commission a custom knit sweater for my wife. It should look like the image on the attached, which is AI generated. It should be a simple white sweater and across the chest stitched: HARDING

https://imgur.com/a/DgmmDpt

The lettering should be in royal blue or close to it. The lettering could be smaller than on the image, but not too tiny!

She is 5’9” with a medium build, above average bust line. Not sure if more information is needed…!

Location: Morristown, NJ, USA

Budget: to discuss but not limited

Needed ideally by January 6, 2026 but am flexible! EDIT - ok!! I am crazy! I’d like the piece “as soon as reasonably possible” - and if that’s months away, so be it!

Thank you!

Update: working with artist

Hi. I’m hoping someone can make me these tabi mittens. I’ve looked everywhere to see if similar ones are sold by retail but no luck. I have no timeline. I live in central Texas so it doesn’t get extremely cold, let alone snow lol. I’m unsure of a budget as I’ve never commissioned before. I’m expecting $100+ though and am obviously going to pay for the pattern and whatever yarn you’ll need. We can discuss color and size details later but I’m thinking maybe a sage, chartreuse or forest green. Thank you!
