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. 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 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 could be the sweater your favorite guy or gal will like so much that he or she passes it down someday to a son, daughter or grandchild. The top-down pattern uses a progression that changes from light to dark as you knit, making the shoulders look bigger and the waist smaller. Who wouldn’t like that? The durable, American-made bulky-weight yarn knits up very fast on large needles, so enjoy making it while you can, as you will finish quickly.

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, Super Bulky 100% American Wool, Eco-Friendly

All Brown Sheep’s yarns are dyed using their proprietary process, which recycles up to 90% of the water used in the dying process. And since the textile industry is considered to be 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.

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.
