This is a place to commission a knitter to make a one-of-a-kind item just for you!

PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING - Please do not post a request if you are unwilling/unable to offer at least minimum wage for labour. For an average adult sweater this will be 40 hours minimum, plus materials and shipping. Expect handmade garments to be significantly more expensive than off the rack.

Request something to be knit for you!

PLEASE NOTE - Hand knitting is a time consuming, skilled craft, and knitters expect to be fairly compensated for their time. The average sweater can take 40 hours or more to complete, so don't expect someone to do that for $20.

No selling, please - if you request monetary reimbursement, please sort that out via personal messages.

If someone agrees to fulfill your request, please edit the original post to indicate that the job is taken.

Owl and the Pussycat Commission Query

Hello! I’m looking for a seasoned knitter who might be able to make this:

https://amzn.eu/d/asa2cG3

I appreciate this is a fair bit of work, but as someone who doesn’t knit, I’m unsure how much time/effort/cost will be. Open to any advice.

Deadline: December 1st Intention: Present for mum Size: unsure, I looked at the pamphlet and I can’t see what the eventual result size would be. I imagine perhaps 4-5 inches or so. Postage to: UK

Thanks 🙏🏻

Need Christmas stockings to match existing

Hi! We have a family friend who has made beautiful knit and lined personalized Christmas stockings for my husband and I, as well as two of our four children.

Unfortunately due to health issues she was unable to make our last two children stockings. We celebrate St. Nick’s day 12/6 and fill stockings every year, so it’s more than just a decoration for us. Our second youngest will notice he doesn’t have the same this year, and the youngest will eventually.

Each stocking has the child’s name on the front and birth year on the back. *pattern name/yarn below I am able to send a stocking for reference as well as pictures of others she’s made.

I sincerely appreciate any help!

Edited to add: after some digging I found out the patterns are “NL3 Christmas Socks” by Nancy Lindberg and the yarn is Cascade 220. Each of our family have some similar (though random) elements and then a unique part. (Combinations are trees, deer, snowmen, hearts, etc.)

Looking for a knitter to make this sweater vest

Want this for halloween costume :)

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8dc1jJV/

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8dvKSP5/

Adult medium sizing, no preference on yarn but want it to look and feel similar to what is in the video.

Open for a later deadline as well since I want this costume for future wear.

Edit: I do not have the pattern

Edit 2: No longer looking for this request! Sorry about it being unreasonable I’ll need to look for a pattern and possibly someone that has costume / sewing work.

Looking for a knitter to recreate a sweater from a tv show!

Hi! Looking to pay someone to hand knit a pullover sweater that I saw on a tv show character. It’s pretty detailed, and has a rolled up wide neck area. Dm me for more info if interested! I don’t have a hard deadline, just prefer it be ready sometime within the next month. Not sure how much it would cost for the exact design I want, but I am hoping for a reasonable price.

Edit: here’s a link to the exact sweater I want and a tutorial someone shared.

Commission for toy knitting pattern

Hi, bit of a specific one, but I would love to knit my boyfriend a Lizard Doggo from the game Satisfactory for Christmas. There are no patterns anywhere (unsurprisingly), but I did see someone on Reddit had free-hand crocheted one. I’ve never done any pattern design before but am a fairly competent knitter. Any help would be hugely appreciated! Here is what one looks like: https://lizarddoggo.com/ but obviously much smaller (no bigger than a standard teddy bear) and doesn’t need to be anywhere near as detailed

Something like this would be great:

Would like it to fit a baby's head of circumference ~18 inches. No pressure on time.

Edit: really appreciate everyone offering to help even though I goofed. Reached out to someone here, so thanks :)

Need this dragon hat in a week

Hi, I have a photoshoot schedule next weekend and need a dragon hat like this. Oversea shipment won’t make it in time, so I’m wondering if anyone here can make one for me and ship it to me. I’m located in NYC. Please let me know how much you’d like to be compensated. Thank you!

I can’t attach the photo for some reason, so I created this link to the photo. I only need the hat, not the whole baby suit. Prefer the hat in the top photo, but the bottom photo is fine too.

Looking for a royal blue sweater

Hello I'm looking for a royal blue sweater like the ones below. I am a size M/L with chest of 42, however I would like this to be more of a chunkier knit made from wool that would be good on skin. My time-line is flexible but I don't know how much something like this would cost.

https://imgur.com/a/g5Aw3rF (these are the same sweater just different lighting. I would prefer the second on body colour)

Edit: I'm located in Canada so would require shipping here.

October sweater commission

Hi there! I'm looking to commission someone to knit this sweater. The pattern has a small crochet section that joins two pieces together. I'm thinking of this yarn for the sweater itself. The size would be between an adult medium and large (so probably large). I would need it before Oct. 20th

I'm looking to pay $150 for labor. The supplies and shipping costs will be covered separately. I'm located in the US.

Thank you!

seeking commission for a chamanto (similar to a poncho). simple shape but complex detailing

hi all - first post here so bear with me, i know very little about working with fabric myself.

i'm looking to get a large hooded chamanto made as a fan work for a band. the shape is simple, just two rectangles, but it's big and the pattern is very detailed. willing to pay 200USD for labor plus price of materials. preferred material would be alpaca wool, but i understand that's not the simplest ask so can work with others if needed. no hard set timeframe, but would prefer within a couple months if possible. thank you.

design here. i can provide more details in DMs, if anyone is interested.

Pattern request

Hello there! I’ve been trying for a few days to find a pattern super similar to this (https://imgur.com/a/4PfGDNv)! I posted on the knitting subreddit and while I did get closer to finding one, I still haven’t found one I’d actually like to knit myself. If anyone could help me a pattern for this I’d be super grateful! I’d pay of course! It’s just such a simple and cute shrug and I’d love to be able to knit it myself, but I’m super new to knitting (been crocheting for a while though) and I want to knit something I’d actually wear haha. Thanks again to anyone who can help!

Custom Knitting Pattern for Jumper Wanted

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone could create me a custom knitting pattern for a jumper, (was going to attach a picture but not sure i can as the image element is greyed out here).

My mother in law is an amazing knitter but needs a pattern to work from. It's essentially a chunky crew neck jumper with what I think is a 2 colour bee stitch for the body and arms.

I can find patterns for crew neck jumpers but not with 2 colour bee stich.

Boyfriends favourite sweater ruined!

Hello, I'm looking for someone who could knit a woolen sweater to replicate a sweater my boyfriend owned but it's got ruined in the wash (he didn't know you don't wash wool in 60 degrees with towels in 😒😒). His birthday is in May and I think he would really love to get it so is anyone able to take this on and estimate the price as well? Also preferably UK/Europe so the shipping costs aren't sky high or that it doesn't get lost in transport but open to whatever. Many thanks! I've got pictures and measurements ready so if someone could do it please let me know!

El Guapo Sweater from Three Amigos

Hey there. First time poster. Is there any way possible to get a replica sweater for the Three Amigos done for a reasonable amount? I am really waffling on spending the money, its for my brother who is turning 40.

It looks like there's only one shop on Etsy that has it for sale, and apparently it will now arrive too late because it will be shipping from Czech republic (after October 29th)

Edit: Im told this should have more info.
This would be for a Large size Adult ; not picky about the fabric.

Commission to make a Beanie style hat (potentially two)

I am going to preface by saying that I don't know very much about the technicalities of knitting so I am happy to provide additional details or answer any clarifying questions! Part of what I am hoping to pay for is the expertise of a knitter who knows about patterns and fibers.

I'm looking for a beanie style winter hat without a pom-pom at the top. For the color I would either like white with flecks of other colors or off-white. Based on my fiber research I think I'm looking for it to be made of wool, but I am open to other natural fibers based on the knitter's recommendation. One of the fiber requirements is that it will not violate shaatnez (Jewish laws around mixed fibers which I am happy to answer questions about). I hope to have it by December 15.

I really like knits that have texture and visual interest instead of being a flat panel, I hope that makes sense. I have a collection of images that I can send to anyone who is interested for ideas. I'd also potentially be interested in hand warmers that match the beanie, and a second hat in a different color, probably dark green.

Obviously I would pay for materials and your time and labor at the rate that you think is fair. I haven't set a firm budget because I don't know what the materials cost or hours of labor is for something like this and don't want to end up undercutting someone.

Edited to Add: I am based in the southern USA for shipping purposes!

2 custom sweaters for a gift

Hello reddit! Like all good ideas, this one came to me late and now I am scrambling. I am not entirely sure this is possible in my time frame, but I thought I would ask.

I am flying to Serbia on September 15 to see a friend of 30 years for her big round birthday. And I just came up with a perfect gift. When we were kids, my aunt made us both these matching sweaters with a fawn on them. She died a few years later. My mom was able to take pictures of it. Would it be possible to re-create and ship 2 adult S/M sweaters with picture on them within a month? I live in California, USA. Alternatively, you could ship them to Belgrade, Serbia if that is closer. I would appreciate any advice/help with this idea! Thank you so much!

Can someone please help?!

My daughter has had this Mud-Pie knitted unicorn since she was born and sleeps with it every single night and always wants to take it everywhere. Needless to say it is getting quite worn! Her 3rd birthday is coming up and I would love to get her a new one (or two!) but alas, the company discontinued them.

If anybody would be able to commission a new one or two I would be forever grateful and more than happy to pay for the cost and shipping etc.

It won’t allow me to post a picture, if you think this is something you may be able to do I can DM/email a picture of it.

Thank you in advanced,

A sentimental father

Looking to commission a "Tattered Sweater"

I've been in love with this pattern (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/tattered-sweater) for years, but have accepted that it is going to remain beyond the limit of my knitting skill for some time.

Is there anyone out there who would be willing to take a commission on it? I'd be looking for size 52 (ideally with a couple of extra inches added on the sleeve as I'm tall), in the colour way from the main pattern and natural wool or merino yarn (the original from the pattern seems to have been discontinued). My budget is £400, and I'm based in the UK.

How much do custom sweaters usually go for?

The title says it all! I have an idea in mind, but I'm not exactly sure what an ideal budget would be to save for, so I thought this would be the best place to ask!
