Knitty presents original knitting patterns, essays, and how-to articles written by professionals and non-professionals in the field. The site is one of the most prominent facets of the revitalization of the knitting craft seen in the 21st century. Traditional print media, television how-to shows, and books in the field refer to Knitty as a reliable and prominent source of information on the craft.

Amy R. Singer has parlayed her success with Knitty into the field of book publishing as well, with three knitting-related books in print by early 2007.^[1]

Knitty has been responsible for launching the careers of many knitwear designers, as well as showcasing the diversity and energy of the knitting community. Knitty hosts and maintains active forums and fosters online community within the craft. Some patterns published in Knitty have experienced an almost viral success, such as Kate Gilbert's Clapotis and Laura Aylor's Lizard Ridge.
