Gigante Knits - Knit Patterns

Design your own cardigans, then knit them. Gigante Knits is a creative knitting design tool and pattern shop from a small UK studio. Build your own cardigan in the Gigante Studio, choose your size, palette, motif, sleeve shape, and stitch chart. Then knit it from a professionally generated PDF pattern, or order a yarn kit with everything you need. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Open the Gigante Studio and design a custom cardigan from scratch — pick from our Signature palettes (timeless tones) or Dopamine palettes (bold, modern colour blocks). • Browse our Showroom for ready-to-knit signature designs, each available in every size and colour. • Generate a full PDF pattern with charts, row-by-row instructions, finished dimensions, and yarn quantities — all calculated for the exact design you built. • Order a yarn kit with the precise quantities and colours for your design, hand-portioned and shipped from the UK. • Save your designs to your account and come back to them any time. Sync your designs across devices. • Track your progress with the built-in row counter. Save patterns offline for knitting without signal. • Commission a handknit — if you'd rather have someone knit it for you, request a one-of-a-kind handknit and we'll make it. MEMBERSHIP The Gigante Knits Membership unlocks every signature pattern (in every colour and size), every future pattern release, and the full Gigante Studio for designing your own. £4.99 per month, cancel any time from My Account. Prefer to buy one at a time? Single patterns are £8.99 each — yours forever, with free lifetime updates as patterns evolve. WHY KNITTERS LIKE IT • Real maths. Every pattern is parametrically generated, with stitch counts, decrease intervals, sleeve shaping, and yarn estimates calculated from your exact gauge and size. No "fudge it" instructions. • Visual previews. See the front, back, and worn silhouette of your design before you knit a stitch. • Free updates. When we improve a pattern, you get the new version automatically — no resale, no upcharge. • Made in the UK. Designed, tested, and yarn-portioned in West Sussex. • Your data stays yours. Opt-in analytics, GDPR-compliant, and a clear data-deletion process. ABOUT US Gigante Knits is run by Fernando Santos-Rimmer, a designer based in Worthing, West Sussex. Every pattern is wear-tested before release, every kit is hand-portioned, and every handknit commission is a one-off. We're a small team and we answer the email ourselves.
