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 person who wears it ends up with a delightful conversation piece hanging from his neck…or yours.

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. When writing this pattern 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 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.

Here’s a sweater with a stitch pattern that takes the simple garter stitch adds a slip stitch, and turns it into a new eye-catching texture. The appealing stitch pattern is used with a pairing that combines a solid and a compatible hand dyed tonal version of the same yarn. As a top down design incorporating the invisible raglan increase there are no seams to be sewn. Stitches for the body and sleeves are separated then worked in the round to the waist and wrists. Finally, the neck band stitches are picked up along the cast on edge and worked in rib. The result is a nicely tailored sweater that is a delight to knit and that feels just right.

FREE UNIQUE ROW CHECKER

It was René Lacoste, the legendary French tennis player, that first conceived what we know today as the polo shirt. This pattern is inspired by René and designed so every knitter can enjoy the pleasure of hand-crafting a shirt that is as comfortable as the original design from 1929.

The pattern is worked from the top down in one piece so the only seam to be sewn is the body hem. The shoulders and neck are shaped using German short rows, stitches are picked up around the arm hole, the body and arms are worked in the round. Alternating stockinette and twisted stockinette create a subtle sophisticated stripe pattern.
