Everybody is knitting these days, so we’re trying to make more options easily accessible for you. I’ve been adding new Pre-Order Kits to our website, and I’ve been happy to fill in a much neglected area, sweaters for men. The projects below are a selection of the kits we’ve uploaded (mostly a combination of handome sweaters on guys I wouldn’t kick out of bed for eating crackers). You can find even more patterns we can kit-up for you HERE.
Fibres & Colours
People have very different needs and preferences when it comes to their yarn, so we’ve set the kits up in the yarns they were designed in, but have also listed several possible substitutions in different fibres, both machine and hand washable, and we are happy to special order your kit in any of them. Due to the limitations of digital media we’ve also chosen a selection of colours that tend to be popular for men’s sweaters. That said, we know better than most that people love all kinds of colours (I wouldn’t have it any other way), and we are happy and able to order any colour that is available.
North
North is an easy, quick-knit pullover with set-in sleeves and a roll-neck collar. This sweater is worked flat from the bottom up, and seamed. North is deigned with Berroco Vintage Chunky, a soft, bulky weight weight machine washable wool/synthetic blend. If you’d prefer a different yarn we’ve listed a number of alternatives we can substitute (my favourite is Berroco Ultra Alpaca Chunky).

Anthony
Anthony is the perfect simple sweater, an easy men’s sweater knit with Berroco Ultra Wool. The body is knit in pieces and seamed (though it would be very easy to modify for knitting in the round if that’s your preferred method), and the sleeves set-in. Anthony is made with Berroco Ultra Wool, a worsted, 100% superwash wool that is machine wash and dryable. If you’d prefer a different yarn we’ve listed a number of alternatives we can substitute (my favourite for this project is Berroco Ultra Alpaca).
