Stitchpattern ideas - knitting for men

Colourful Geometrics

The stitchpattern ideas gathered here can be used either as an all-over fairisle design, or for an area of fairisle, for example as a yoke or decorative area above the welts of body and sleeves. The stitchpattern collection books all contain ideas for different colourways which can include muted or subtle contrasts which work well with menswear. Have a browse and see if anything catches your fancy.
