Designer Rüdiger Schlömer has created a new typeface for beginning knitters called Knit Hello.

Knit Hello is a typeface for hand knitting. It was made for beginners: knitters and typographers who love type.

You may remember Schlömer from his Futura-based Knit Grotesk. And of course, the earliest bitmap letters weren’t found on a computer screen; blocky letters have been used in cross stitch and knitting for hundreds of years. (via colossal)
