The instructions were clearly written (this was one of their patterns that has been edited by a native English speaker), but they weren't particularly great as actual instructions, particularly in the methods used for finishing the armholes and neckline. Lekala 4158: Knit top with front shoulder yokes and gathering at bust (lengthened into dress).ĭid it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope/sketch when you were done? The first is pretty appalling - but that is not the fault of the pattern, but rather me picking a style that just wasn't terribly flattering. I bought a few patterns to try - this is actually the second one I made up. Bootstrap Patterns license the software from Lekala but also have a few extra patterns that aren't on the Lekala site. They're also super super cheap (and even cheaper if you register or buy pattern bundles), and also royalty free, meaning you can sell what you make from them.

Basically you simply enter your measurements, plus a few optional modifiers, and a PDF pattern is emailed to you a few minutes afterwards. If you haven't heard of them, their USP is that they supply patterns drafted to custom measurements - and they have many many styles to choose from (apparently there's even more choice on the original Russian website). I'd been seeing them crop up here and there recently though, and after realising they had an US-based English site too (with payment by PayPal), I thought I would give them a go.
I've been meaning to try Lekala patterns for several years, but for various reasons hadn't got around to actually doing it, mostly because the Russian-based site was pretty hard to work out, and the payment method was crazy complicated.
