Welcome to Glove Genie, a place where creativity, skill, and a little bit of knitting magic come together.

 

I’m Kyoko, a handknit designer with a lifelong obsession for glove knitting. Before taking time off to have children, I designed a wide range of knitting patterns featured in British, American, and Japanese publications, including Interweave. Now that my children are a little older, I’ve returned to knitting with a renewed sense of purpose, to create what I truly love and to share that joy with others who understand how creativity weaves into every stage of life.

 

Every pattern at Glove Genie is designed to make knitting both exciting and accessible, with detailed instructions, charts, and photos to guide you every step of the way. Whether you’re discovering gloves for the first time or exploring advanced techniques, each project is an invitation to learn, create, and enjoy the process.

​

You can find tutorials and behind-the-design stories for my gloves on my YouTube and Instagram, where I share insights, techniques, and inspiration from my design journey.

​

I’m deeply grateful for the support of wonderful companies who share my vision of keeping traditional handcrafts alive and passing these skills on to future generations. Their encouragement makes it possible to continue designing, teaching, and spreading the joy of glove knitting.

 

I love meeting fellow glove knitters so please feel free to say hi. I’d truly love to hear from you!
