Knitted wear has stood the test of time. In recent years, women’s patterns have surged in number and popularity. Men, on the other hand, have fewer patterns designed just for them. It could be that there are fewer male fiber artists compared to females, which influences the pattern availability. That being said, there is always room to learn! And if knitting isn’t their thing, these patterns make for great gifts. Perfect for your husband, dad, boyfriend, brother, uncle, or just a good friend.
Here’s a tip: many women’s patterns can be adapted for men with just a few adjustments. Knitted fashion’s timeless appeal makes this possible. And even if the options are fewer for men, some patterns really stand out. Here are our top picks:
