Complimentary StitchSaver™ Row Checker and Backpack Project Bag

Designer Knitting Kit
This kit includes yarn, the knitting pattern with instructions for all sizes, a list of all abbreviations, a glossary of terms. The kit also includes our proprietary knitter’s StitchSaver™ Row Checker. Plus, a link is provided to Knitting Help on our web site. All in a complimentary knitting backpack project bag.

Designer Knitting Pattern
A band of little cables in ribbing starts the pattern. These cables are a delight because they do not require a cable needle. Then after adding 6 double increases every few rows, followed by double decreases you’ll have reached the crown of the hat. At which point you continue with a tiny I-cord tab that adds the finishing touch – just like every French beret.

Yarn
Trendsetter’s Puno Due – 63% Cotton, 37% Baby Alpaca – DK Weight, 50 grams, 235 yards/214.9 meters

This light-weight DK, feels like soft and gentle baby alpaca, but cotton subtly adds an almost secret level of strength and durability. The little glow of alpaca brings pleasure to the knitting as you work, and a touch of class to the look of your finished creation.

The on-screen color representations for yarn may not be precise representations of actual colors due to variance in monitor calibrations.

Testimonials

Sophisticated, elegant, stylish, chic. After seeing James’ collection, I may give up needlepoint.

These designs take men's sweaters to a whole new level of luxury and deliciousness. Might have to get a new man once my divorce goes through, just so I can knit him a James Cox Knits sweater.
