How do you, as an illustrator, draw your Relooped design? Discover our new template packages!

At Relooped we have already knitted some beautiful designs for illustrators. Illustrators often like to draw their designs on a tablet with the drawing app Procreate.

To convert drawings made in Procreate into knitting patterns, we first need to convert them into pixel art. Each pixel (small square) is then knitted as one knitting loop. Each knitted loop is approximately 1 to 2 mm in size, and we get beautiful results even with very small details in the illustrations. The easiest way to convert drawings into pixel art is in Adobe Photoshop. That's why we always import vector drawings made in Procreate or Illustrator into Adobe Photoshop first and finish the design there.

New template packs for your design process

For a complete design process we have created new template packs that contain the drawing templates and easy step-by-step instructions. Using the new templates you have full control over your design. You can also personalize your design with your own text or logo.

We are excited to collaborate with illustrator Vera Bertens from Franje Design , who helped us develop and test the new templates. She also created a fun tutorial video on how to draw the design in Procreate and Adobe Photoshop. You can use the video as a guide and inspiration when preparing your next design.
