Welcome to Ilga Leja Handknit Design!
On the Design Collections page, you will find my collections of handknitting patterns, featuring lace knitting, intriguing stitch patterns, and unique construction.
My theme-based collections include shawls, scarves, wraps, and sweaters, many with sizing from Extra Small up to 3X.
Each pattern is sold separately as a PDF download from my website or as printed patterns in yarn shops throughout North America, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Australia.
My patterns are written with great care - and occasional humour. Well-illustrated with photos, charts, and schematics, each pattern includes everything you need to know to complete the project.
And for those who don’t like charts, there are always written directions as well.
Yarns are also available for many of my patterns and may be purchased directly from me. These are high quality yarns, made with merino and silk, and are hand-painted here in Nova Scotia.
Just send me an e-mail with your request.
