It says “our current patterns are listed belowâ€. I’m not seeing that. Unless it is the photos of the fingerless gloves and headband. Does a submitted pattern need to written a certain way? Basically, is there a sample pattern as to what y’all are looking for—sizing, format, etc?
Erica Jackofsky
Hi! I will check on the sizing/sample guidelines with the folks at STIK. Yes, the referenced designs are the fingerless mitts and headband show in the bottom image. This is their page for the kits: https://shitthatiknit.com/pages/give-a-shit

Is there a limit to how many one person can submit? Thanks!
Erica Jackofsky
As many times as you’d like!

I still can’t find a link to the existing kits. If you want us to design something “keeping in mind the current patterns” -I gather there are 3 of them – then you need to provide a link so that we can see them. I see the headband and the mitts, but what’ s the third one. Is that a ribbed cowl of some kind? Why isn’t there some simple, clear way to find them?
Erica Jackofsky
Hi! I’ve just added a few larger images of the headband, cowl, and mitts to the bottom of the post.

Hi! Can the pattern be knit in the round or is it a requirement that the pattern be able to be knit on straight needles?
Thanks!
Mary DeMaris
Yet that still doesn’t give us a sample pattern let alone all three. Are they secret? If you want us to design in your style, give us a clue. I design most of my own patterns and might have been interested but this looks like too much of a hassle to bother with. Thanks anyway.

Are simple decreases allowed?
Erica Jackofsky
K2tog decreases are allowed!
Kerri Wenum
Why is this kit and it’s patterns designed around us 15 needle when the ball band clearly calls for us 13? And 13 is even a bit much to hold to when you are a new knitter…
