substitute yarns, providing you get the same gauge called for in

the project. Please make a gauge swatch for all your projects,

no matter how condent you are. All expert knitters know that

skipping this step is pure folly.

I have included several cardigans, pullovers, and vests as well as

accessories such as hats, scarves, and slipper socks. Some of the

projects are very easy and require a minimum of shaping and

nishingeven a beginner will nd them easy. Others are a little

more challenging and will give all knitters the opportunity to

learn new stitches and tricksexperienced knitters will enjoy

them, too.

The Tips and Tricks section provides some insight into getting theproper t and nishing your knits like a pro. The Knitting Basics

section serves as a general guide for the terms and techniques

used throughout the book. With careful planning and attention

to details, youll knit garments that will be worn and enjoyed for

years to come. I hope that you enjoy the book and are inspired to

try a different take on knitting for men.

Do not be afraid to make adjustments to the body orsleeve length of the garment. Take a moment to properly measure the person

that the sweater will be made for and check the measurements against the

chart. The measurements in the project specs are the nished measurements

of the garment, not body measurements, so allow for wearing ease.

Another way to determine which size to make is to take the measurements of

a garment that ts the person you are knitting for. Use these measurementsas a goal for your project. Use the garment as a template for your work, and

regularly check your knitted sections against it for t.

I have used the three-needle bind-off method on many of thegarments. I love the look of this nish, and it looks especially great ondropped-shoulder garments. Directions for this technique are givenon page 109.

When sewing tabs, such as the back neckband extensions on acardigan, use the invisible weaving method of seaming, also called

mattress stitch. This results in a smooth joint.

Theres a special way to set in pockets that makes them blend

smoothly with the sweater body. Heres what I do:

1 Place the pocket over the sweater front, aligning the stitch rows,and pin it in place.

2 With a tapestry needle, stitch the pocket in place using duplicatestitch. This means you stitch over the knit stitches on the outer edgeof the pocket, echoing the path of the yarn and going through thesweater body with each stitch. I nd this easier to do with a needlethat has a curved tip.

Often youll need to pick up stitches at a neckline or arm edge toadd ribbing or a button band. You also need to pick up stitches whenworking the entrelac pattern (page 77). Using a crochet hook to pickup the stitches makes the job easier.

When you need to pick up a large number of stitches, estimate howmany you need to pick up per side and pick them up evenly, closingall the gaps. If you get to the end and youve picked up a few toomany or not quite enough, rather than start over, simply increase ordecrease on the rst row to the required number of stitches.

Always take the time to check your gauge. Change to different sizeneedles if necessary to obtain the proper gauge.

Bold StripedCrewneckThis classic crewneck sweater is luxuriouslysoft, made in 100% alpaca yarn. The bold stripe pattern

has long been a favorite for men of all ages. Knit one in

subdued colors like these soft naturals, or choose a different

color combo. The stripes are most effective if you use two

contrasting values for the wide stripes and a medium value

for the thin stripes.

Chunky CabledPulloverLarge cables give this pullover a handsome,rugged look. Knitted from wonderfully plush alpaca yarn,

this warm and cozy sweater will take the chill out of winter

in a stylish way. Although they offer texture and interest to a

sweater, cables also tend to draw in the knitted fabric, but this

has already been accommodated in the stitch count and sizing.

TIP

If your zipper is a little too long, heres an easy way to shorten it. Mark thezipper tape at the correct length. Using a needle and thread, stitch across theteeth several times at the mark, creating a new zipper stop. If your sewingmachine has a wide enough zigzag stitch to clear the zipper teeth, you cando this by stitching in place with your machine. Be sure to knot the threads

securely. Then simply cut the zipper off " (1.3 cm) below the stitches.

MulticolorLattice JacketThe unusual slip-stitch pattern used for thissweater-jacket creates a lattice network that appears to oat

over subtle stripes of color. The background yarn is a wool/

soy self-striping yarn. You knit with both yarns at the same

time, so the resulting oats on the wrong side add extra body

and warmth.
