Cozy up with this cozy yarn in a designer knitting kit and enjoy knitting him or her what will probably become a favorite winter sweater. It knits up fast in a simple combo of knit and purl stitches.

Complimentary StitchSaver™ Row Checker and Backpack Project Bag

Designer Knitting 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.

Designer Knitting Pattern
This design is worked from the top down, in one piece. So, you can easily check the fit—shoulders, chest, sleeves, length as you knit. It’s the perfect pattern for a ski sweater or for those chilly days when one feels best in just a chunky sweater—forget the coat.

Haven’t knitted a top-down sweater before? Don’t worry. Here’s a free, printable PDF of top-down knitting instructions.

Yarn
Brown Sheep’s Burly Spun, 100% American Wool, Super Bulky, Eco-friendly

This single-ply wool will stand the test of time. Spun and dyed in the USA—hand wash, dry flat. All Brown Sheep’s yarns are dyed using their proprietary process, which recycles up to 90% of the water used in dying. And since the textile industry is among the top three industries for water pollution, it is comforting to know Brown Sheep yarn is eco-friendly.

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

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."

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.
