Meet the designer

Designing clarity, texture, and confidence one pattern at a time

my story
Hi, I’m Dominique — the designer and maker behind byDoumBaril.
Knitting has been part of my life since childhood. It started as a comforting presence, something warm and familiar passed down through generations. But it truly became essential during a difficult and stressful period in my adult life. That’s when I turned to knitting not just as a craft, but as a refuge — a space where I could breathe, slow down, and reconnect with myself. As I knit more and more, I realized I wanted to create patterns that reflected who I was: modern, textured, intentional. I couldn’t always find designs that matched my style and my values — patterns that were both bold and accessible, flattering on all bodies, and clearly explained. So I started designing my own. What began as a personal creative outlet grew into byDoumBaril — a collection of knitting patterns designed to inspire confidence and joy in every maker. I focus on clean lines, dynamic textures, and thoughtful details. My goal is to offer patterns that feel both modern and wearable, with instructions that are easy to follow and inclusive of all sizes. I believe knitting is more than just making things — it’s a powerful act of care, of connection, and of creativity. Whether you're new to the craft or a lifelong knitter, I’m so glad you’re here. Welcome to byDoumBaril. Let’s knit something beautiful together.

More than a business, a family dreaM

Why “byDoumBaril”?

The name of my business is a quiet but deeply meaningful tribute to my mother. While most people encouraged me to pursue academic success, she dreamed of seeing me follow an artistic path. She always believed in my creativity — in making, drawing, expressing. “Doum” was one of her nicknames for me (alongside the less brandable Vieille Crotte). So when I launched this creative adventure — after completing a PhD in economics, of all things — I chose a name that would carry a piece of her with me. With byDoumBaril, I bring together the warmth and meaning she instilled in me, and the precision I’ve honed through years of academic work — so that each pattern is both heartfelt and technically sound.
