Meet your instructor: Louis Boria
Louis, aka Brooklyn Boy Knits, gets his inspiration from the diverse culture and style of...
you guessed it...Brooklyn, New York.
As a designer, he loves the constant change and evolution of style and ability to express yourself.
It all started from a dream where Louis vividly remembers knitting and immediately went to a craft store and picked up the bare necessities. From there, he went down the crafting rabbit hole and never looked back.
Although his passion continued to grow, Louis found it extremely hard to shed the stereotypes of who should be knitting and began working on a project on a train.
After someone took notice and posted a photo, Louis' life changed overnight, and is the knitting sensation on your screen today.
BONUS! Louis' Eye of the Storm hat pattern is included in your online course.
In Louis' course, you'll learn the most important parts of designing your own hat. Through his own pattern, included in this course, you will get to see these tips and tricks in action. This is a crowd-favorite pattern here at Knit Stars!
"Thank you to Louis Boria for the creative twists he shared in Season 6. Colorwork is my jam and I'm loving a stretchy folded brim with patches these days -- here's a little nod to his class in my latest hat, Fells Cap"

"Great class! I am now a "hat person" thanks to Louis. I am also from Brooklyn and I love how he celebrates the borough in his designs. Thank you!"
Susan
"I am so grateful for the lessons on how to make and/or attach a wool pompom or sew a snap for a true fur pompon to a knitted hat. Yes, there are a lot of useful techniques shown in Louis Boria's KS 6 segment. Basic and practical questions I was always hesitant to ask have been answered. I appreciate the careful planning of the lessons. Thank you so much, Louis Boria! Long life to Brooklyn Boys Knit!"

I'm Shelley Brander, the founder of Knit Stars, and I know how it can feel to be alone in your creative passion. For my first few decades as a knitter, I was on my own! When, at age 35, I pivoted from my broadcast production career and opened a local yarn store, I saw firsthand how one great teacher can truly change your knitting life.
I created Knit Stars to bring the best teaching to knitters and crocheters around the globe. I used to be afraid to fly, but now I travel to remote locations around the world, taking you directly into the homes and studios of the most brilliant designers and difference-makers.
Now in its 9th year, Knit Stars has become a learning platform like no other. With feature-film quality production, documentary yarn stories combined with workshops you own and can return to again and again. Knit Stars gives us all a place to grow - in confidence and connection.
