Knitting despite poor eyesight

When it becomes more difficult to see while knitting, many things change.

Stitches are no longer as clearly recognizable, patterns seem confusing and even simple projects can suddenly become exhausting. What used to be a matter of course now requires more concentration – and sometimes more patience.

You are not alone in this.

Many people with visual impairments continue to knit – but often in a different way. With adapted lighting, easy-to-read instructions or materials that are easier to see, needlework can become more relaxed again.

Here you will find approaches that can help you – depending on what is most important to you at the time.
