If you want the fun of creating a truly unique tie, Brad is the one for you. The concept for this two-colored interwoven creation is simple. The strip of the tie that is typically hidden behind the wider portion in front is showcased when laced through six small horizontal slits. The seed and linen stitches are combined with what are in fact extended buttonholes resulting in a tie that is fun to knit. The color change occurs under the collar so the result is intriguing and the fellow who wears it ends up with a delightful conversation piece hanging from his neck…or yours.

Free Backpack Project Bag • Free Unique Row Checker

Have fun making this sporty sweater and end up a winner, because my athletic-inspired sweater pattern is perfect for the athlete or sports fan in your life. This design draws from the traditional athletic look but is styled for a modern feel in line with today’s knitwear trends. I chose extra fine merino wool to make it very wearable with a shirt, t-shirt, or, what the heck, no shirt at all.

The sleeves and body are knitted separately in stockinette, then, when completed, sewn together to create a classic crewneck. Both the upper body and sleeves are worked flat from the top down—casting on at the neck edge and knitting to the bottom of the armhole. Then the lower body and sleeves are worked in the round from the armhole to the cuff and hem.

Here is a modern take on a simple tie—a little four-stitch cable running vertically in the midst of one-by-one ribbing. This skinny tie is both modern and reminiscent of nostalgic looks from the 50s. The colorful cable is knitted into the tie using the intarsia technique. And surprise the cable disappears inside the knot at the neck. So enjoy this rather playful pattern and create a fun tie for a rather playful fellow, or for yourself.

After finishing this design I liked wearing it so much that I created versions for both fingering and worsted weight yarn. So one can do as I do and wear it year round. 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. The worsted weight yields a looser fit while the fingering option produces a lighter weight sweater that hugs the body. This top down design without seams and invisible raglan increases provides techniques that add up to a pattern that is both interesting and rewarding. And the result of your needlework could add up to a great gift for yourself or someone else. Then again, if you like it as much as I do, two gifts.

Here is a pattern with four designs in one. Both the tie and complementary pocket square are double knit designs. The CoBaSi blended yarn includes elastic nylon, which results in a very snug stitch pattern when knitted tightly. The results are ideal for double knitting and for creating a tie that can easily be tied without stretching and distortion. The polka dot pattern provides an even attachment between the two layers of stockinette. And the color pairing provides nice options for suits and for casual sport coats. The pocket square is the final fashion touch for the gentleman who enjoys just a hint of dandy in his wardrobe.

"This tie is a classic. I love Jim's double-knit pattern. Very well written."

If you enjoy knitting cables, you’ll love this sweater. Done entirely in a cabled rib this resilient sweater stretches to fit making it both forgiving and comfortable to wear as well as easily blocked to create a custom fit. The simple clean neckline combined with the invisible raglan shaping give this pattern an elegant interpretation of the classic all-over cable sweater. Worked on oversized needles and designed to be ultra-lightweight, it’s a great travel sweater, perfect for anyone on the go.

The top-down pattern starts with casting on all the neckline, and then uses short rows to shape the neck, resulting in a clean design without a separate neckband. And like most top-down sweaters, it is worked in one piece with no seams, so you can easily check the fit—shoulders, chest, sleeves, length—as you knit. Haven’t knitted a top-down sweater before?

Cozy up with this cozy yarn and enjoy knitting him or her what will probably become their, or perhaps your, favorite winter sweater. This is the perfect pattern for a ski sweater or for those chilly days when one feels best in just a chunky sweater—forget the coat.

The yarn is super chunky weight and knits up really fast in a simple combo of knit and purl stitches. You can knit this sweater in a matter of days, and the basket weave pattern is easy and fun to knit.

This design is worked from the top down, in one piece, and has no seams at all. And like all top-down sweaters, you can easily check the fit—shoulders, chest, sleeves, length—as you knit. Haven’t knitted a top-down sweater before? Don’t stress. Here’s a free, printable PDF of top-down knitting instructions.

If you like options, you’ll love this versatile hat and ear warmer. With one kit you can choose to knit a luxuriously soft ear warmer or, if you prefer, a hat that will keep the entire head warm. And there is an additional bonus. Both the hat and ear warmer are reversible, made up of two light-weight layers. The outer layer includes a decorative band of Fair Isle pattern. Pick from two classic patterns—gingham check or chevron—to customize your knit. The inner layer, which is seamlessly knit off of the outer layer, features solid bands of color. Both layers are worked in the round and are attached at the peak of the hat and/or along the edges. Turn the lined hat or ear warmer inside out for a dramatically different look and you’ve got one classy accessory that’s actually two.
