This long sleeved, drop shoulder crewneck uses travelling stitches to mimic the ripples of water on a lake. The design works equally well for a man or a woman, and gives the visual interest of cables without the weight. Sleeves are in a simpler but coordinating pattern of raised lines to keep the focus on the body and to speed the knitting!

The Apiculture Pillow is a delightful celebration of nature’s busiest workers—our beloved bees. Just as a dollop of honey sweetens hot tea, this pillow brings warmth and charm to any room. The body of the pillow cover is worked in worsted-weight stockinette for a smooth, relaxing knitting experience, making it a quick and satisfying project for knitters of all levels.
Adding a touch of whimsy and texture, the honeycomb-patterned strips are knit separately and accented with adorable colorwork bees that bring the design to life. The combination of classic simplicity and playful detail makes this pillow a standout piece, whether nestled on your favorite chair, sofa, or bed.
Perfect for bee enthusiasts, nature lovers, or anyone seeking a touch of cozy charm, the Apiculture Pillow is as functional as it is beautiful. Knit it up in warm golds, creamy neutrals, or any colors that make your heart buzz with joy!

These socks are worked top down with a heel flap and gusset decreases. Instead of an evenly repeating stripe pattern, the contrast color is used with varying distance, giving thicker and thinner stripes of main color. Using garter sts in the vertical pattern panel along the front make an extra striping effect for the color changes.

Jack is a great introduction to Fair Isle knitting. The majority of the patterns are simple three- or four-stitch repeats divided by solid-colored stripes. It begins with ribbed ends that are worked back and forth then overlapped, creating a faux-buttoned closure. The remainder is worked circular in two halves. They are joined at the center with Kitchener stitch, creating a mirror image of the pattern. Because the scarf is worked circular, ends can be left inside rather than working them in. Jack is for the man in your life that appreciates knitting!

This design was created with this beautiful self-striping yarn blending some color favorites to get men some “flare” wearing their socks. The simple diamond stitch pattern on the socks is reminiscent of a faux argyle that men so love to wear. Clark is the perfect gift for the classy, but spunky, gentleman.

The main feature of the Nicholas Scarf is the rectangular checks in different shades of blue, with just a little hint of white and red to add color and separate the rows of checks. Being worked in brioche stitch, the scarf is perfectly reversible and the colorwork is made using only one color at a time. Nicholas makes the perfect gift for the city traveler on your list.
