Hi! I'm Caitlin Hunter, the designer behind Boyland Knitworks. I live in beautiful Homer, Alaska with my partner and our kids. My work is inspired by nature and a love of making clothes that are both expressive, easy to wear and have a sense of fun.

The name Boyland came from life in the woods with my three little boys when I first started designing knitting patterns. Trying to name a business, I kept coming back to “I live in boy-land.” Eventually, Boyland started to sound pretty good. Knitworks was a slightly dorky play on “networks,” and I liked how the two sounded together. It just stuck!

I studied apparel design in college and worked in the garment industry before finding my way to designing patterns for hand knitting. I love the shared creativity of this work. My design is a starting point, and each knitter brings their own ideas, colors, and personality to every project.

My goal is to create size-inclusive, approachable patterns that you can adapt to suit your body and style. I believe that knitting is like any challenge in life- just take it one row at a time and you will be surprised at what you can accomplish.

Thank you for visiting, and happy knitting!
