About

The HiLo Brand

HiLo is derived from the Spanish word for thread. In the modern era of technology and machines, the handmade techniques of Crochet and Knit are responsible for giving soul to products. At HiLo, this spirit lives on through our carefully designed patterns.

Each HiLo pattern is original and made to inspire. We believe in timeless design, slow fashion, and the joy of making something with your own hands. Our digital patterns create zero waste and empower makers to create garments that are not only beautiful, but also meaningful.

HiLo blends creativity with consciousness—offering patterns that honor tradition, embrace sustainability, and celebrate the pleasure of handmade.

We are so grateful for all the wonderful people that support our dream! Thank you and happy shopping ☺
