Do you have those pieces in your wardrobe that you always wear when you need that extra layer of comfort and emotional support? That’s what this sweater is for me. She is my go-to sweater when I’m feeling super anxious and don’t have the mental space to plan my look, or just need to feel comfortable and secure. She is oversized, slightly fluffy, with beautifully shaped sleeves. She is the most comfortable sweater - not too chunky, not too light, doesn’t cling to you, just lays softly over your body. She’s a timeless piece that looks like you have put the effort in even when you have just chucked on something that
feels comfortable and safe.

PS. She is seamless.

What we are all about at Anxious Girl Knits

Playfulness

Basic is boring. I’m making knitwear for the fashion girlies who want a piece that will make them stand out and feel amazing without damaging the planet.

Colourful

I’m done with the neutrals and achromatic colours I see everyone wearing. Everything I do I want to brighten this world with a feminine touch of frills, bows and pretty pastels. Winters are grey enough, our knitwear shouldn’t be.

Craftsmanship

AGK is all about inspiring and embracing the wonders our hands and minds can create. Everything is slowly made and knitted by hand to order. Creating thoughtful, luxury knitwear that will last and be loved.

Sustainability

Everything we buy has some impact on the planet. I create knitwear whilst trying to minimise the environmental impact by sourcing wool from RWS certified farms and using natural/recycled or biodegradable fibres.

Honesty & Community

Knitting can have such a positive effect on your mental health. Here we share wins, struggles, and support each other so no one feels alone. The internet can feel fake - I promise to be real about my highs, lows, and everything in between.
