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.

Hey everyone! I'm a crocheter and came across this knitted beanie while browsing Etsy for crochet patterns, and I instantly knew I had to find someone to help make it a reality for me: This is the beanie I am interested in!
An estimate would be appreciated so I can start figuring out putting money aside for it. I would likely want to hire you in the new year, so I'm mostly wanting to figure out what the cost would be and if anyone would be interested!
I don't have a deadline as this would just be a random gift for my older teen and, as I mentioned above, it wouldn't be something I'd want to start until the new year... Which also just makes sense as I'm sure many of y'all are knee-deep in Christmas knitting like I am with crocheting!
I have no preference of yarn type, I'd ideally just like it to be as close to the colors in the images as possible. It doesn't have to be super fancy high-end yarn, so if there's a cozy acrylic you'd recommend, let's go for that!
I'm based in the U.S. so ideally would also like someone Stateside if only because of shipping costs.
If I need to purchase the pattern first before I can be given a more accurate estimate, please do let me know and I'll do that.
Thanks all and have a lovely weekend!
Seeking a knitted or crochet sweater with a boat(s) on it.
Could be colorful like for red the holidays.
Or neutral / nautical with cream / navy.
The idea would be to wear with boots and leggings. I have pics of anyone wants to get a better idea to quote.
Thank you!
Need help with this collared green and white knitted sweater, any help would be appreciated, an estimate on the cost, and overall time frame to make, https://www.ebay.com/itm/335441879279 (link to sweater)
Measurements are:20.5 inches underarm to underarm25 inches top to bottom
Hello - I am looking to commission someone for a sewn quilt. Here is the link to the finished product: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/476222152/yellow-rose-applique-antique-quilt?show_sold_out_detail=1&ref=nla_listing_details.
Size: 84x100"
I can provide the pattern / kit and instructions.
I don't have a specific timeline. In terms of budget, I don't have a specific number in mind and would be curious what a commission like this would come to. I am based in Canada (Calgary, Alberta) and am willing to pay for international shipping.
Thank you in advance!
Hello! Does anyone have experience knitting in this particular scallop pattern? https://www.moderndailyknitting.com/community/knit-detective-the-eddie-redmayne-sweater/ I would be looking to request a men’s large cardigan in this pattern, and can provide more examples of the finished cardigan. Let me know :)
Hi! I found a knit pattern for my favorite video game character. It would be a sweater for an adult (plus size). I would happily pay for the pattern. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1527667710/kazoo-sweater-crochet-pattern-kaedehara
What would a solid estimate be?
My name is Svetlana. I am engaged in knitting to order. Here is the link to my shop.https://knitgeometricstyle.etsy.com I work only with natural, high-quality yarn. I have machine knitting. I will be happy to cooperate.
Hi! I've been eyeing this sweater that's sold out legitimately everywhere, so I am looking to see if it would be possible for someone to knit it for me. I don't have a pattern but I'm assuming its a standard ribbed design? https://imgur.com/a/JC9VqXs
The size would be an M/L male, made with merino wool yarn as that is what the original sweater is made of. Timeframe is flexible, while I do hope to get it before the weather starts to warm up (by Jan/Feb next year I guess?), but later is totally fine. As for budget, I'll be able to pay $250 but please let me know if that's reasonable for a sweater like this- I haven't commissioned someone before, and I'm definitely willing to discuss prices. As for location, I'm based in the US.
Thanks!
Hi! I found this sweater on Etsy that I’d like, and I’ll link the pattern here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/746696568/knitting-pattern-my-fallsweater?ref=share_v4_lx I’ll of course purchase the pattern for whomever is willing to do this for me.
I believe I’m a size M/L on their chart.
I wouldn’t mind having it early next year while it’s still cool enough to wear sweaters, but I’m not dead set on it before next fall. I would definitely want to have the sweater in hand by fall 2025.
My budget is pretty open ended. I’ve never ordered a custom garment before, so I’m not sure how much exactly I should expect to spend. I’m also aware that this pattern calls for alpaca, which is liable to be pricey. I thought $400 at the very lower end, but I’m prepared to spend more than that upon discussion.
Requester ended up wanting this blue sweater with the checker square rather than the Harry styles style jw cardigan. I also added the custom embroidered label, which certainly isn’t my specialty but they ended up happy with the final piece! They wanted a black stripe that started from the bottom black rib and continued to the sleeve cuffs. A bit of extra work, but I managed to figure it out!
See photos of it here on my ig:

I don’t post here much, i mostly leave comments, hopefully this link works!
Hi! I saw these on Pinterest (https://pin.it/2ijzXb79q) and haven't been able to stop thinking about them for weeks. I wish I knew how to knit myself, but don't really have time to pick up a new hobby right now. I think I might die without them. I'm from the US, but would be willing to pay international shipping if necessary. Please help :)!
Hello,
I am looking to see if someone could recreate this custom marius sweater that I have seen on tv: https://i.imgur.com/SzgcUIT.png + https://i.imgur.com/kI2bf6m.png
I am in the US but am willing to pay international shipping if needed. Let me know if additional information is needed! Thank you!

No one in my family Knows how to knit. My grandparents who do are all on the other side of the globe.

Something like this. I’m not sure of cost, budget is around 100USD
Edit: I found someone, thank you!!
Hi All,
I posted here yesterday about recreating a jumper for my wife, I tried to post an update on the original but for some reason, it was removed.
I want to find someone to recreate a jumper for my wife, it is a 90s Tammy girl navy blue long-sleeved top with soft crochet rainbow arms and a cat/flower/rainbow pattern.
I have a link to the images on my Google Drive https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/18I5CycluJGbTncDHi5roO23XMsYCRjxQ?usp=drive_link
Could anyone recreate something similar to this? it would need to be in a UK-sizes 22
Thanks in advance
Do you charge your client at the beginning or only after the project has been made? If it's only after the project is made, is it reasonable to ask for a deposit to cover the cost of materials at the beginning?
Hello,
I hope you are all well.
I have recently purchased a knitting pattern, but though I sew I do not knit very well, and so am looking to commission some one to knit it for me in a deep forest green colour. I am based in the UK, but am happy to pay for international shipping. As I believe there is some complexity to the design, please give me a quote not including shipping - I want to make certain that I am paying you a fair price. Thank you!
Here is the design that I purchased: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1490281791/knitting-pattern-for-fairy-tale-sweater?ref=user_profile
Hello all! I recently fell victim to one of Tiktok's shop ads for an oversized striped sweater that I just instantly fell in love with. I buy it, it arrives, and it is the worst, most awful, most scratchiest material I think I've ever had the ill fortune of putting on my body.
Thing is, I love the pattern and colors but the texture is so bad I'm still itchy 5 minutes after taking it off.
I ain't well versed in knitting or sweaters or nothing, but it's a simple enough design I think. Not so sure what kind of estimate this would warrant...150-300 seems like a maybe reasonable budget.
Any advice is appreciated, and any questions I will answer. Thank ya'll :-D
Here is the sweater: https://imgur.com/a/NlxcKK1
After posting information editing...
This sweater will be for an adult (me) I am willing to send measurements of the sweater (or just the actual sweater itself if that's easier.)
I don't have a deadline but like...preferably within the next 3-6 months at the latest?
Budget around 150-300 USD.
I do not have a preference for natural vs synthetic material type, whatever is soft, inoffensive on skin, and easy to maintain (machine-washable) Would like a medium amount of weight, not too thin not too thick...if that's a thing
Hello, talented needle crafters! I'm interested in commissioning this beautiful stained glass vest! https://wipinsanity.blogspot.com/p/pattern-tracery-vest.html
I would prefer it in greens/blues rather than the purple/pinks. I would also like natural fiber yarn. I understand that this will be pricey, and am willing to compensate you adequately. Many thanks for your consideration!
Edit: I have found someone to knit this for me. 🥰 Thank you all for your kindness and interest
hello!
i saw this sweater on pinterest (https://pin.it/3tyjJHhBb) and absolutely fell in love with it. i was wondering if it would be possible for me to commission someone to make this for me!
info: i’m from california, USA size: petite adult (possibly a regular adult’s size small for this). timeline: i would like to receive this by the beginning of january budget: 300 USD (but i’m willing to look at my options!) yarn preference: i’m not too educated about yarn unfortunately but hopefully something that isn’t too expensive but good for sensitive skin :) i’m definitely open to doing some research as well
please let me know if you have any questions or insight! TIA
Hello! I’m looking for a seasoned knitter who might be able to make this:
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 🙏🏻
I am searching for someone with the time & ability to create a custom balaclava mask for Halloween. Inspiration for the mask comes for a knit colossal titan mask seen online with black in the white locations and white in the red locations.
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.)
Want this for halloween costume :)
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8dc1jJV/

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.
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.
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:
https://ribblr.com/pattern/deerstalker-sherlock-holmes-hat-newborn-to-Crochet/
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 :)
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.
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.
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!
I'm about to throw stitchfiddle down the drain. Can someone help me create 24 square patterns for this unique temperature blanket I want to create?
