Hello! I'm Hille. Welcome to my little knitting world!
Born (1977) and raised in northern Germany, I found my new home in Sweden at the age of 23. Today, I live in Stockholm with my loving partner and our enchanting daughter, where I create handmade knitted pieces in my free time – each one telling its own story.

Slow Life
In my profession, I work as an intensive care nurse. Every day, I witness how precious life is through my care for patients. Yet, for many years, I often put my own needs aside and got lost in the daily grind. That was until a few years ago, when I became seriously ill myself. During that time, I discovered knitting as the only effective way to relax. Over time, it became my therapy, a ray of hope in dark times. Today, I am healthy again, and knitting continues to accompany me as a form of creative expression and my way to slow down. I believe in “Slow Living” – living mindfully, intentionally, and sustainably, and I want to bring this approach into the world through my clothing.
Slow Fashion
Colors and patterns inspire me, and I love knitting intuitively. Often, I start with an idea, let the needles play, trust the process, and see what emerges. Handmade clothing holds a special meaning for me: it represents individuality, creativity, appreciation, and sustainability.
What Makes Handmade_by_Hille Special
My goal is for you to feel just as comfortable in your new favorite piece as I do while knitting it. Each item combines the warmth of wool with my passion. It tells my story – and maybe soon, it will tell yours too.
If you’re looking for a unique sweater or a cozy jacket that not only keeps you warm but also reflects your personality, feel free to stop by my shop and discover your future companion!
Warmly,
Hille

"There is nothing more beautiful than a sweater that comes from the heart, and you can feel that with Hille's sweaters. They are created and knitted with love. I love all three, each in its uniqueness. The shared process of creation, the search for patterns and colors, and the joy (like Christmas and birthday combined) when it arrives and wraps you warmly! Thank you for being here and for your sweaters!"
CARO F.
"I am simply in love. Hille's sweaters are not only beautiful and super stylish, but also incredibly light and fluffy. At the same time, the sweaters keep me cozy warm in winter, even though they are so light. That is a hallmark of high quality. Every time I receive a new sweater, I feel like a little child. You can truly sense how much love flows into this handmade work. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for each and every favorite piece!"

"Handmade by Hille is simply fantastic! Hille has knitted three unique pieces for me. They are all breathtaking, striking, and of course, super comfortable. She exclusively uses this wonderfully soft wool that really holds its shape excellently. I can't even count how many compliments I've received when wearing one of her sweaters. Not only is Hille's personal story an absolute inspiration, but the skills and love that go into each individual piece are something you can't buy in any store!"

"I was looking for a Christmas gift for my husband. That’s why I contacted Hille and ordered a hand-knit sweater. The sweater turned out fantastic! Both the colors, the pattern, and the fit are perfect, and my husband wears the sweater almost every day. I am extremely satisfied!"
