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.

Hi, I’m trying to find someone who can make a knitted jumper for me? I have no clue about fashion or how anything works but my boyfriend had his eyes on this super specific knitted jumper but he can’t get it anywhere and I’m essentially trying to find someone who can just make it?
Can’t seem to add images on here but it’s seems like quite a complicated design!
EDIT: managed to create a link to the photo - https://paste.pics/bd8729e3e2a40b2b3a322cc86251553a
Hi, lovely people!
I would be so grateful to anyone who would make me a long knit cardigan with buttons and a V-neck. I'm looking for something like the cardigan in the pin I linked.
The adjustments I would make would be to the colour and for the sleeves to flare out gradually, rather than sharply at the wrist. But I would love if the garment could go in slightly at my waist as in the pin.
Size: Adult, size S (UK 8, US 4) Timeline: There is no fixed deadline. Budget: I understand this could cost hundreds of dollars. Yarn Preference: Must be natural and I would love to be able to machine wash if I could (I use gentle, cold water and a wool detergent).
Thank you so much!

Edit: I also forgot to mention I wouldn't like there to be that hole pattern (I'm so sorry- I don't know the name). The pin was to provide an idea of the silhouette. The only stipulation would be that I would love if the knit was heavy, as in, it pulled downwards, and was not delicate, flimsy or holey. Thanks so much again!
I've been looking EVERYWHERE for custom knitting places and have bought tons of ski masks on multiple different websites and they never fit right so I'm willing to pay handsomely if need be for a good quality properly sized to my face ski mask so don't have to show my face when i do streaming/content creation, this is not so i can resell anything or duplicate stuff if that's a concern, i just really want a ski mask that actually fits for once
Hi all! I just bought a vintage cardigan i’ve been eyeing for a while now. I originally wanted the long sleeve version but, only found the shorter sleeve. Not sure how much this would cost w color matching the yarn and all(its a shade of white), so please let me know. I would like around 13in added to each sleeve. I have reference pictures, but not sure how to add those. Thank you!
Hello, I honestly didn’t know where to start to search for commissions, but i stumbled upon this subreddit. I’m interested in whether a Tibetan/peruvian hat can be made. I wish I could include a picture but it’s not letting me add one. Essentially, it’s a black hat with white pom poms at the top of the hat and at the end of the strings. It has a white triangular and black circle design. It’s from an anime show I really like.
I included a link here that should take you to the artbook and it’s the hat of the girl on the left. I would like to know the pricing to get an idea of how much it would cost to get a hat like this made.
Thank you!
Hi all! I ran into this pattern on Etsy and I'm in love: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1805720700/library-card-sweater-vest-knitting. I'm really hoping I can afford to pay someone for their time to make this incredible piece! I could definitely do a few hundred dollars. It would be for adult, I'm usually a small but might want this as a medium for a slouchier look. Would prefer natural fibers and don't mind if it's hand or machine washable (I don't think anyway?). No timeline besides my burning desire :D
I’m looking to make a machine knit custom sweater(s) based on my measurements. I am tall and skinny and it is impossible to find knitted wear that fits.
The main thing I want is for the sweater to be very tight and flattering yet still somewhat warm. If our first sweater turns out great, I’d love to order it in every color and different thickness :)
Hi, I’m looking for someone to make a knitted wool hat from a video game called Dofus, it’s the bouftou hat and I’d like to have it irl cause this game is a great part of my youth. I’d obviously pay for it, I’m based close to Montreal btw so think to include shipping fees ;)
Can’t add a pic but dm me and I’d send you the details or you can easily find it on internet
Thank you
Hi all,
I once had a wool fish hat that was gifted to me by an old friend at a Christmas Market. I used to wear this hat year round regardless of weather for years to come. It was a main piece of my attire whenever I went to the club and it was for a time a part of my identity. I lost the hat a little over a year ago now and was devastated for a long time. I had previously considered trying to get it remade (I can't find it anywhere else) but haven't looked into it much, partly out of sadness for the original headwear.
Please could someone help me with whether this is something I could feasibly have made for me and if there is any additional specifications I would need to give?
The hat was quite a close-nit and it wasn’t very flexible.
It was around 12-14 inches long and had a fleece lining for the first 5-6 inches from where the mouth opens. My head measures around 21 inches in circumference.
The eyes and lip-bits seem to be sewed overtop as they bubble out a little bit.
The colours used to be rather vibrant but have faded over time due to sunbleaching.

Thank you!
UPD still didn’t find anyone, so if you see this post and want to help - DM please

I have a knitting pattern of this sweater, which I really really like. I was knitting it for one month, gaining experience every day and it looks very good, but I don’t like the final look at all. My seaming techniques are also very poor. I still want to have time to wear it this winter.
So I am looking for an experienced person, who would do it with pleasure as their hobby. Of course, not for free :) I will provide all the needed materials and information. If you are in Germany and are willing to try knitting this sweater, please leave your comment.
I need only the sweater :) I can make the tiger overlay myself
Thank you so much for your time!
Looking to get this knitted . Will pay for the pattern 😍. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1106991641/?ref=share_ios_native_control
Hi! I'm looking for someone who can recreate my baby blanket. I've "worried" it all my life which has significantly worn it down and it is more holes than blanket now. I love this blanket more than anything and I would absolutely love to have a second one. Unfortunately the woman who made it has long since passed away :( I can provide pictures, dimensions, yarn type etc to anyone interested to see what the price would be like. Please reach out/message me if you can help/are interested! Thanks :)
Edit:
Hi! Sorry, didn’t see the moderator comment. Size: it’s child size, about 38 inches wide and 25 inches tall. It’s made of 5 rectangular panels that are attached. The pattern is the same on all the panels, I’ll try to attach a picture. Timeline: none, this is for myself Budget: no set budget in mind, I know this will probably be over $100 at minimum and that’s ok. Max ideally would be around $300 but again I’m flexible Yarn: the closest I’ve found to the feel of my blanket is Bernat Baby Sport yarn. The colors of that yarn would be baby yellow, baby pink, and baby blue. There are two pink panels, two blue, one yellow in the middle.
I will try to post pictures of the knit pattern
4.Yarn Preference: either is fine but I would prefer machine wash.
this is the sweatshirt from the "when i come around" green day music video. im a 5'7 female and about 120ibs and would like it to fit similiar to his. usually i wear a size small. i dont have a deadline. i will pay whatever the estimate is! https://pin.it/21Cac8enC heres the pattern- https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/anyday-sweatshirt (minus the little cross trianngle shape at the neck)
Hi! I am having a hard time with pumping a million times a day for my new baby. I thought a funny idea could be for me to knit a cozy sweater covering for my hospital grade breast pump (extra points for cow print)
Weird request but this appears to exist nowhere on the internet?! Thoughts?
Heya, years ago when I was a child I had this jumper: https://imgur.com/S5isQ87
I think it would be super fun and cute to have one made the same that I could wear now. I'm an adult man that usually wears medium, but sometimes a large if I'm oversizing. Happy to provide more accurate measurements if that is required?
I'm not super clued in about knitwear, so not hugely knowledgable about how much it should cost, but appreciate that it takes a long time, and happy to pay more for it to be made with high quality materials that aren't going to be scratchy, and feel good to wear. I'm assuming that will be multiple hundreds of pounds (I'm based in the UK), but happy to work something out with you if you're able to do it.
Would be really fun to have it done because A) I think it is just quite a nice jumper in fun colours and B) It would be a good thing to laugh about with family.
Cheers!
I am desperately seeking someone to create this sweater that haunts my every waking and non-waking moment. I can’t find anything like it anywhere even though it’s a ridiculously simple sweater. I want it to be thick but not itchy and form-fitting but not tight. I also do not have an insane budget but im willing to negotiate prices. Please let me know if you’re up to make my woolen dreams come true, please and thank you very much. https://pin.it/3X1cGVS2v
Hi! I've been looking for someone who would be willing to take on a project for me. I'm interested in getting a couple scarves knitted and I have zero business taking it on myself at the moment. It's the Sophie Scarf and the Sophie Hood. I'm not quite sure on the details (colors, type of yarn). I'd probably lean towards neutral colors with the smaller scarf and MAYBE something a bit more punchy for the hooded scarf. Maybe a quick bit of brainstorming will knock out the necessary bits. LMK if you're interested. I'm in the US (TX) by the way! Thanks!
Has anyone come across or able to create a pattern similar to this rather expensive cardigan? https://ssdaley.com/products/jasper-cardigan-mustard
i will buy the pattern off of ravelry and will pay $50. the ratings from people who have made the pattern say that it is not difficult. please personal message if interested!
Hi, I was hoping someone could give me a rough estimation on pricing to get one of these made? I don’t know anything about materials, etc. I only know the designer is Amimono Horinouchi but I believe he only made 1 piece so it cannot be purchased anywhere. I’m pretty in love with it.
Oh… I was going to attach an image haha, it’s a pink sweater with a cat lying down on it. Looks like maybe cashmere but honestly I don’t know.
Hi hi! I’m looking to commission a pattern for this goose purse, at around the same scale. Yes, I know it’s not as stable as it could be if I crocheted it instead, I cannot crochet to save my life. Thank you in advance!
This hat was made by my grandmother and I wear it constantly in the winter, it's one of my most prized possessions. I'd like a copy/dupe (or 2 or 3) made of it as close to this size/stitch/yarn (I think it's acrylic) as possible, both to have different color options, and in case something happens to it. (can be a different color - I'm thinking maybe dark gray and a different green) I am willing to send the hat itself to you, so you can see how it's built/size/etc. No idea how much it should cost. Budget is fairly open though. (might have to save up if it's more than a few hundred)
Also recently the original hat has developed a hole. It would be amazing if it could be fixed/mended but I don't know if that's possible.
Please comment/send me a chat if you're interested and thanks so much for looking!
I’ve always wanted a good ugly christmas sweater and I’m pretty obsessed with mothman. I’d love to have one for next year all made up! Comment or DM me!
Hi! I'm looking for an experienced knitter who could help me bring this sweater to life. I already have the pattern, but need to source 100% wool. (open to different natural fibers, Marino, alpaca, etc.) I want to incorporate the same colors used in this photo. I'm just starting my knitting journey so it will be a while before my skillset reaches this type of advanced level.
Size: adult medium. Will provide exact measurements when project is set in stone.
Timeline: flexible, not in a hurry. I know slow fashion takes time.
Budget: $300 range.
Yarn: natural fiber - 100% wool or alpaca. Hand wash, air out only.
If you're someone who would find joy in this type of project, please reach out! Thank you kindly!

Hi! I’m looking to get a sweater made for my wife who loves the sweater from the movie. Would love to commission one!
Get in touch if so.
Thanks!
Hi! I'm new here! I am interested in commissioning a knit, red or brown dress with a light feel and smoother yarn. The images below are the dress I would like to recreate! I'd love this Liz Lisa dress, so if there's anyway to add the collar and ribbon.
-I'm 5'2" in. in height, with a 25" waist, 32" bust, and 36" hips. I'm not too sure what other details would be needed. I do wish for the dress to be a lot shorter, as I would like it to fit as a mini dress. I could get the measurements for these as well.
-I'm looking for this to be more fitted to my body with a flared opening like in the links below.
-No deadline on this, preferably first half of 2025.
-Budget is flexible
-I have no experience in fabrics.
-I'm located in CA.

Hi all,
I’ve never knit before, nor have I ever commissioned a knit piece, and I was hoping to get some advice: my cat passed away a few weeks ago and it’s been a very difficult and jarring adjustment. I’ve been looking online at different custom pet plushies (I know, it’s a bit pathetic. Grief is weird) and I found some really lovely patterns available from Clare Garland (aka dotpebblesknits on Etsy). I was wondering if anyone here would know how I might go about trying to commission someone to knit a version for me that might resemble my cat (I don’t expect anything crazy or unrealistic). Do any of you happen to know how I might go about finding someone that I could commission for a piece like this? The pattern looks difficult to me, but I have also never knit before in my life.
Thank you for any advice you have!
I've got an old Dean's of Scotland fair Isle sweater than can be deconstructed for the pattern.
I've been wanting to do this myself, but lack the confidence. I bought the sweater specifically for this use. It's in decent enough shape (minimal pilling, a few very small holes that aren't unraveling), and got as far as graphing the fair Isle section.
Mostly it's a stockinette cardigan, with fair Isle yoke and set in sleeves, possibly Kitchener stitched at the under arm, though if it's bottom-up, it might not need it. (they were super popular around 1980). It has some design elements that are too cool not to lose.
Is anyone interested in an attempt to help me clone this old classic? I'll send you the sweater, you can do with it as you will, and I'll pay for the pattern once you've created it. I'm glad to send along the file I created that is the graph for the fair Isle section.
Bonus points if I can get a few size options for the pattern. I might be able to sus those out myself, but would love an experienced knitters guidance.
PM for more info. I've been studying this sweater for ages. Even got a few hints from Hazel Tindall herself, if it helps. 🙂
