Pattern Submission Guidelines
Popknits specializes in vintage knitting made modern. Patterns should entice knitters to create something that they’ll wear often or will feel confident gifting to someone else. Timeless designs and vintage-inspired patterns are what we’re looking for. As such, preference is given to well-written patterns that include accurate fit measurements and adequate descriptions of how the item is vintage-inspired.
Knitting presents many fascinating opportunities for designers and knitters alike, and Popknits intends to explore them all. If you have a pattern you think is Popknits material, we should see it!
Deadlines for Future Issues
Popknits plans to feature 6 to 8 new patterns each issue. If you have an idea for a pattern and would like to run it by us ahead of time, we’d be more than willing to consider your proposal. Proposals will be responded to within 2 weeks.Photos
All pattern submissions should contain at least 3 or 4 photos to illustrate the construction of the knit item. Images should be of the highest quality, well lit and touched up as necessary, and saved as high quality JPGs. If your pattern contains a cable feature or lace, be sure to give us a close up of the stitching!Honorarium
