Complimentary StitchSaver™ Row Checker and Backpack Project Bag

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.

StitchSaver Row Checker

"It is hard to make a mistake with our unique complimentary 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 you stopped."
- James

Pattern
This design was inspired by athletic sportswear. I chose superfine merino wool or a cotton/bamboo/silk blend to make it very wearable with a shirt, t-shirt, or, what the heck, no shirt at all. The sleeves and body are worked separately in stockinette from the top down, then when completed sewn together to create a classic crewneck. Have fun making this sporty sweater and end up a winner.

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  loft and stretch, so it’s not only easy to care for, it’s easy to knit.

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