Kelompok Rajut Sejahtera atau Kelompok Ratra yang berdiri pada tahun 2016 merupakan kelompok ibu rumah tangga istri pensiunan tentara yang gemar merajut. Bertempat tinggal di perumahan tentara Kotabaru Yogyakarta, kelompok Ratra telah mengikuti beberapa kegiatan pembinaan untuk pelatihan merajut produk seperti tas, dompet, dan sepatu yang bertujuan menambah pengetahuan dan pemasukan keluarga. Pemasaran produk sudah dilaksanakan sejak tahun 2019, namun hasil penjualan belum baik dikarenakan adanya persaingan produk sejenis di pasaran. Di tahun 2021 ini, tim UKDW memfasilitasi kelompok Ratra dalam berinovasi desain dan menemukan karakter produk rajut untuk bersaing dalam pemasaran serta membuka pangsa pasar baru yang belum banyak dibuat oleh kompetitor sejenis, khususnya menghadapi situasi pandemik ini. Melalui pendampingan workshop, kelompok Ratra diperkenalkan dengan inovasi desain produk seperti bentukbentuk produk tableware, home decoration, serta aksesoris berukuran kecil yang cepat dibuat dan dibutuhkan dalam keseharian calon konsumen. Pendampingan difokuskan pada workshop kreativitas sekaligus penemuan ciri khas produk Ratra agar lebih cepat dikenal dan disukai konsumen. Adapun workshop yang diberikan antara lain perancangan kemasan, prinsip-prinsip desain, pemahaman tutorial desain rajut berbahasa Inggris, serta pengenalan alternatif material rajut dan penerapannya. Hasil utama dari pendampingan ini adalah penambahan wawasan pengetahuan varian produk rajut serta membangun peluang pasar baru dengan pengembangan jenis produk kelompok Ratra.
