Or Buy the Pattern with StitchSaver™ Row Checker for $15 - contains instructions for all sizes.

Kit
This kit includes yarn, the pattern with instructions for all sizes, a list of all abbreviations, glossary of terms, and a crisp schematic with dimensions for proper blocking. The kit also includes my proprietary StitchSaver™ Row Checker. Plus, a link is provided to Knitting Help on my web site. All in a backpack project bag.

StitchSaver Row Checker
It is hard to make a mistake with my unique Row Checker. It helps you keep track of stitch count row-by-row for each section of the pattern, plus all increase and decrease shaping. With check off boxes for each row you can put this project aside for a week, a month or a year and return to the exact spot where your stopped.

Knitting Help
For your convenience, we’ve collected definitions for abbreviations, links to tutorial videos that may make knitting your project easier and more fun, as well as guides to techniques and tailoring. Visit the  Knitting Help page on our website.

Pattern
The stockinette yoke combined with a generous grid of open eyelet and fitted ribbing on the body and arms works to expand the chest and diminish the waist. Who wouldn’t like that? As a top-down design without seams and invisible raglan increases, Doug provides techniques that add up to a pattern that is both interesting and rewarding. And the result of your needlework could be a great gift for yourself or someone else.

Yarn
Trendsetter’s Merino 6, DK, 100% Superfine Merino
This high-quality merino yarn is designed to be extra smooth as well as soft. A 6-ply, high twist, washable yarn with loft and stretch, so it’s not only easy to care for, it’s easy to knit.

HiKoo’s CoBaSi+, Light Worsted,  55% Cotton, 16% Bamboo, 8% Silk, 21% Elastic Nylon
This wool-free option uses a lush blend of fibers that are soft, breathable, and machine washable. Which makes it perfect for all seasons. And its wool-like stretch makes knitting it gentle on the hands.

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.

Patsy A.

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.
