I’m Jessica Ays, the knitwear designer and instructor behind Double the Stitches, creator of the Stitch Society Membership, and host of the Knit Happy! Summit.
My mission is to make this timeless craft accessible and enjoyable for knitters of all skill levels by offering the resources, support, and community you need to knit with confidence and joy. 🧶


My journey began when I started designing patterns for a small group of knitters at the local yarn store where I worked. Over time, my calm, encouraging teaching style drew in more knitters eager to learn and grow.
That experience inspired me to publish my designs and create workshops that help knitters build skills, spark creativity, and approach every new project with confidence and delight.
