Jean Greenhowe is a very successful doll and toy knitting designer. She has been hailed as one of the most successful publishers of knitting patterns in the world.

From teddy bears and nursery rhyme characters to themed families of scarecrows and animals Jean has a toy for every taste and occasion – she has even designed Halloween and Christmas scenes!

Jean began her career in the 1960s designing fashion garments for Vogue Knitting.  In 1967 she joined Woman’s Weekly magazine as their craft features writer and designer.  Jean remained with the magazine for 24 years, producing hundreds of designs in a wide variety of crafts.  In fact, her designs became so popular that a Jean Greenhowe feature guaranteed a sell-out and in the 1980s Woman’s Weekly circulation rose to 1.3 million.

During these 24 years Jean also wrote 19 craft books, including ‘Knitted Toys’ which was one of the best-selling knitting books ever written.
