M1R KNIT DESIGNER: KIM EXSHAW

ABOUT M1R KNIT

Knit Your Forever Pieces

Minimalist knitting patterns, thoughtfully designed for a wardrobe that feels as effortless as it looks.

I believe in the quiet beauty of simple things.
A sweater that feels like a second skin.
A scarf that carries the memory of cool mornings and warm cafés.

My designs are born from a love of timeless style — the kind that lingers, season after season, quietly becoming part of your story.

Each pattern is created to be lived in, loved, and worn without a second thought — an invitation to savor the art of making, and the simple luxury of wearing something made by your own hands.

This is slow fashion, softly spoken.
A celebration of everyday beauty, carefully knit one stitch at a time.

Welcome to M1R KNIT —
where less is always more, and elegance is effortless.

Knitwear That Grounds You

There’s something deeply comforting about making things by hand. For me, knitting is more than a craft — it’s quiet therapy. Each stitch becomes a breath, a rhythm, a way to slow down and soften the day.

When I knit my wardrobe, I’m not just shaping fabric — I’m creating space for stillness, grounding myself in the gentle repetition of making.

Wearing what I’ve knit feels different. There’s a quiet kind of joy in slipping into something I’ve made — something that holds time, care, and intention.

I create patterns for knitters who feel the same— who want their wardrobe to be as thoughtful as it is beautiful.

My designs are for those who appreciate:

– Clear, detailed instructions
– Modern, minimalist silhouettes
– Simple, intuitive construction
– Thoughtful finishing touches

If you’re looking to build a handmade capsule wardrobe,
I hope these patterns become part of your ritual— stitched with ease, worn with love.

“As soon as this came off the needles, I of course had to try it on! It fit perfectly. I showed my husband, who tried it on as well; he thought it was the best-fitting hat that he's worn (very high praise!) It fit my 13-year-old daughter as more of a slouchy beanie. All three of us absolutely loved it (and now I will have to make more, lol!!)

Overall, you've done an amazing job with this pattern. Thank you so much again for the opportunity to knit this with you and provide my feedback! I'm hoping to do another test knit in the future, so I'll be sure to keep my eyes out for your patterns :D

I hope you have a wonderful day, and GREAT JOB on an incredible pattern!! <3”
