Turn a pixel font into kniting

When the Knitted Online shop opens for business the easiest way for you to draw your designs will be using a pencil tool to colour in the stitches. And when it comes to drawing letters you might want something decorative, or something small and compact, a tall font or a wide font. Dafont.com has a huge range of pixel / bitmap fonts that are perfect for knitwear, and you'll see on there a wide range of styles.

The fonts here demonstrate how to achieve different styles with pixel or stitch fonts and how much space they will demand. For example, the largest font here is 9 rows high, and this is going to take up about a quarter of the height of an adults hat, whereas the smallest font is 5 rows tall and will stretch over between 10% - 15% of your hats rows.

A trip to dafont will also help you knit in lower case, keep your eyes peeled for our text tool in the editor which will come soon after the shop opens but in the mean time happy knitting x
