This video shows you the creation of a knitted pattern look in Affinity Designer using Symbols.
I use the ability of Affinity Designer to synchronize and stop synchronizing symbols to give them different colours, create the pattern with a plain shape, and replace it with a more elaborate design later.
I recorded a video on synchronizing symbols a while back:

I uploaded the source file with two different brushes [just the knitted pattern and the combo symbol with donut, polygon, star, and two knitted patterns] to my Gumroad page. Download it for FREE:

As part of the challenge on the Facebook group Affinity Designer - hands-on I recorded my workflow while creating the design using basic shapes, the corner tool, and clipping masks.
I create the clockmakers store using basic shapes - circles, rectangles, and cogs - with added text elements. Most of the shapes have solid fills [I did cheat a little and used a few gradients] and use shading shapes inside clipping masks for detail and depth.
Reusing, duplicating, and modifying existing elements make it easy to quickly create complex designs.
