Nomin is out now



Creating my first ever pattern took me a while. But it was one of the best experiences of my life. The first time always comes with a fear of the unknown. I felt scared, insecure, unsure of everything I did. I didn’t know what was waiting for me. All the fear is now turned into the happiness and joy of trying out.


By experiencing the whole process of pattern making, I started to feel comfortable asking for help. Accepting what I can and can’t, learning from test knitters' feedback. Every process of pattern making was a discovery. Those discoveries changed me in a good way.

Now, I am embracing my braveness to trying out. But all these experiences were amazing because of all the support I had. Every comment on my Instagram, every feedback, and encouragement were as if a milestone for me to continue going ahead. My goal was to create an easy and clear pattern that even a beginner can use as a guide. I think I did achieve it with all the help I got. I am so grateful for all your support. Thank you so much.

Before ending this post, I just want to talk a little bit about the Nomin itself.

I created a prototype of Nomin in June 2019, right after I got a sick leave from my employment. It was a much-needed break. I started to feel inspired again and start designing, posting more of the daily progress of my knitting on Instagram.




At first, this cardigan was like a Haori, a Japanese-style coat worn over Kimono. Both sleeves were super wide and flowing. I loved everything about it, but I thought It could be more fitted around arms as daily wear. I made some modifications then Nomin had born.

The word Nomin means farmer in Japanese. So this cardigan is meant to be simple daily wear, as a working garment. Not like Haori, which is more “noble” looking.



This cardigan is surprisingly easy to knit! However, with inspiration and playful colorwork, it can become something totally different. I am sure you can cast a spell on it and make a magical cardigan. So, please play with colors, embrace your creativity and inspiration. I hope knitting a Nomin cardigan will be an enjoyable experience for you!

For the last, here are amazing test knitters’ Instagram accounts! Please send some love to them.

Special Thanks!
