| The Nomad Cowl by Pedestrian The Nomad Collection is based on the idea of how clothing would be made after the apocalypse. This cowl is knitted together from random bits of torn cloth and fiber remnants, complete with fallen tree branch buttons. |
Hi there! My name is Christine and I am the hands behind Pedestrian Designs! I specialize in whimsical designs for children and grown-ups who like to dress up as part of their everyday attire.
I have been designing crochet/knitwear for nearly 15 years. After making numerous hats, scarves, sweaters, and blankets for myself, I dove into consigning my line at B+M stores and craft shows. This gave me the experience to open my own Etsy shop. Now I have 'quit my day job', focused on Pedestrian via Etsy and have my designs in boutiques throughout the United States. I still participate in fall craft shows and, most recently, am prominently featured at an indie shop in my local mall.
My work is available at Roadies in the Platte River Mall of North Platte, Nebraska, Wholly Craft in Columbus, Ohio, and Lemonade Couture in Austin, Texas.
In 2010, Pedestrian's Dragon Hats were included in the Parenting.com costume guide for Halloween.
This has been such an excited time for me! With over 500 hats sold in the last year, I can't wait for the weather to get cold every year! My customers are amazingly sweet with a zest for life that is contagious. I really do have the BEST job on Earth!!!!
Artist's statement: I am inspired by the classic fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Grimm, and Louis Carroll as well as apocalyptic science fiction novels.
What would Little Red Riding Hood wear if she walked her dog down my street? What would Rapunzel wear if she had to shovel snow in a Nebraska winter? What if Dragons worked at the post office? How would a Nomad make a scarf after all modern technology broke down? These are the questions I answer with Pedestrian Designs.

“Drive a nail home and clinch it so faithfully that you can wake up in the night and think of your work with satisfaction,- a work at which you would not be ashamed to invoke the Muse”
-Henry David Thoreau
In our case, it would be the needle or other fiber tool. Drive it home! And, we all thank you for your words, left here to these good folks. Invoke your Muse!
