The Knotty Ones • 2020
We were over the moon when The Knotty Ones approached us with the idea of a Mama and Mini cardigan. We knew it was a chance to create something really special. We got straight to work, using the softest, highest-quality yarns to create a classic design that was both stylish and practical for busy mamas and their little ones. With the technical details sorted, we got to see the finished product and were blown away. The Mama and Mini cardigan was even better than we had imagined - luxurious, comfortable, and the perfect fit.

“I’ve been working with Mari for 2.5 years, and she has been a tremendous asset in getting my brand off the ground. From sketching and tech packs to sourcing, factory communication, and connecting me with trusted industry professionals, she’s supported every step with care and expertise. What truly sets her apart is her commitment to sourcing materials thoughtfully — from regenerative, organic, renewable, and recycled sources — and working closely with makers to minimize environmental impact. She’s organized, reliable, trustworthy, and incredibly talented at what she does."

“Mari has been an instrumental partner to the development and growth of our knitwear program. Her wealth of knowledge and creative direction is unmatched. Her work elevating our brand with specialized details has been instrumental in our success. We've experienced incredible results at market events, selling nearly four times more than we typically do at pop-ups. The collection is receiving such positive feedback from customers! Additionally, an order was replenished at a pro shop after being on the floor for just one day, selling out more than half of what they ordered. These thoughtful design elements have not only helped us expand our presence in more stores but have also significantly boosted our wholesale business.”

ABOUT
I'm Mari, the founder of April Knit Studio.
My vision is to create high-quality knitwear that embodies creativity and encourages meaningful growth for brands.I grew up in Puerto Rico and moved to NYC to pursue fashion at The Fashion Institute of Technology. My interest in knitwear began when I discovered the creative freedom in fabric and silhouette design.

After graduating from FIT, I worked with renowned designers like Proenza Schouler, Tory Burch, and Kate Spade. However, I became concerned about the industry's shift towards unsustainable practices, such as producing massive quantities and driving down manufacturer costs. Realizing the urgent need for change, I returned to FIT to pursue a Sustainable Business certificate, equipping myself with knowledge in material sourcing, design innovation, and sustainable production.
