Architectural and completely modern in shape, this cropped pullover is a compelling knit and an eye-catching addition to any wardrobe. The front, back, and sleeves are simple quadrangles worked flat and seamed to achieve a wide, swingy shape with an open neckline and snugly fitted three-quarter-length sleeves. The interplay of twisted ribs, cables, and traveling stitches yields a fabric that wants to move and fold, and clever placement of each element creates flattering lines on the body.

Get ready for fall with a mulled blend of closely related hues: two strands of Loft held together allow you to create your own custom color for this pullover. Carver is perfect for casual weekend wear, but its crisp patterning of twinned diamond cables on a ground of seed stitch makes this modified raglan smart enough for the office as well. A slight V-taper from hem to chest keeps the silhouette trim despite the comfortable loose fit. Work a crewneck in single rib to match the hem and cuffs or finish with a cozy turtleneck.

“This pullover is an homage to the classic Breton Shirt – an iconic mainstay of 20th century nautical fashion. I knit mine with two colors that feature high value contrast to emphasize the graphic nature of the striping pattern, though your own experimentation with color is, as always, encouraged! Knit in Loft, Breton is great for layering under jackets to add that extra “something” to an outfit as the bold stripes peek through, or on its own as a graphic piece that isn’t overstated.

The torso is shaped gently at the waist and the stockinette sleeves are set in for a tailored fit. The pullover is embellished front and back with twisted diamond motifs and densely worked cables, all of which can be worked either from charts or from written descriptions.

Delicate cables form decorative oak leaf medallions to paper the extra-wide fabric of this poncho-like pullover. On a ground of reverse stockinette, the cable motifs stand in relief like woodblock carvings. Side vents and exaggerated drop shoulders give this garment easy style, while a loose turtleneck provides a double layer of warmth around your neck. Birch Bay’s front and back are knit flat and sewn together; stitches for the double-ribbed sleeves and neck are picked up and worked in the round. Tubular hems and chain selvedges ensure a tidy finish everywhere.

Inspired by the grab-and-go comfort of your favorite sweatshirt, this drop-shoulder pullover combines classic textures with modern tailoring.

A rolled edge at the collar and a split hem give the Seamark pullover an air of rugged nonchalance. Knit in worsted-spun DK weight Arbor yarn, the meaty ribbing at the hem and collar flows into cables that twist and knot up to the shoulders. These elements combine in a sturdy pullover reminiscent of the fisherman sweaters of yore. The garment pieces are worked flat from the bottom up and sewn together. The neckband is picked up and worked circularly after garment assembly. Designer: Rachel Brockman Collection: Wool People, Volume…

The thermal pullover takes on a bold new look when rendered at an exploded scale in Quarry. The classic woodsman’s waffle weave forms a geometric grid at this large gauge and is worked from a four-row pattern that’s easily memorized. Deschutes is knit flat in pieces and sewn with partially exposed seams for rustic detail. Roomy sleeves are set in to ensure a tidy fit around the shoulders to balance the straight lines of the torso. Choose a size that gives you no more than 4-5” of ease if you want to keep the shape feminine.

Dress up or down in a classic V-neck pullover distinguished by lush textures. Designed to fit with several inches of ease, Spinnaker layers comfortably over work wear or casual tees. Forking cables embedded in a field of cluster stitches on reverse stockinette keep the knitting engaging, but the motifs are easy to read and memorize. Though the body is worked straight to the armholes, the cables create flattering lines and give the suggestion of waist shaping.

Ready for a challenge? Trailhead is toothsome knitting with eye-catching results. This A-line raglan cardigan features twin strands of diamonds forking upward from the back hem. The fronts are in stockinette with handsome pockets for trailside treasures; the back is emblazoned with a dramatic V of reverse stockinette to show off cables filled with moss stitch. All pieces are knit flat, and an unusual shaping scheme provides a tailored fit around the shoulders but also means you’ll need your wits about you as you work the back and yoke.

Simple details like a doubled collar, split center hem, and decorative eyelets at the shoulders, hem, and cuffs make the Culm pullover a garment that is as polished and shapely as it is a pleasure to wear. The dolman sleeves, nipped waist and drop shoulders create a subtly vintage silhouette. The hem is worked flat, then joined to continue working circularly to the armholes, and then the front and back are worked separately to the shoulders. Shoulders are joined together and then stitches are picked up for the sleeves, which are worked circularly to the cu ff .

The ever-so-slightly cropped Rowlock sweater is modishly refreshing. Knit flat in pieces from bottom to top with no body shaping to contend with, Rowlock offers a clean slate upon which shapes can play. Arbor yarn and its supreme stitch definition lends itself beautifully to each knit, purl, and cable twist, enhancing the allover geometric motif that works its way across the body and sleeves. Traditional ribbing at the hem and cuffs riff off of the garter stitch at the neck, keeping this beguiling pullover feeling casual, cool and incredibly wearable.

A ribbon of zigzag lace with a yarnover selvedge forms the foundation for this pretty triangular shawl. Stitches picked up from the yarnovers take a few steadying ridges of garter stitch while decreases are established at the edges and spine, then begin to intermingle in a traditional two-sided lace pattern before relaxing into an ever-diminishing field of garter. This perfect balance of focused effort and straightforward plain knitting has made Rock Island an enduring favorite in the Brooklyn Tweed archives. Designer: Jared Flood Collection: Classics ; Vale…

A boxy, open-gauge cardigan in Quarry: the ultimate in slouchy comfort that doesn’t sacrifice good looks. Riverbend’s hem is shaped with short rows so that the back is several inches longer than the cropped fronts. The deep V of the neckline makes it easy to layer. All pieces are knit flat, and we chose to assemble them with the purl side facing out, but instructions are also given for exposing the traditional knit side if you prefer. Two options are given for resolving the short rows so that they’ll be least visible on the public side of your garment, whichever side you’d like that to be.

Julie’s Turnagain cowl is a masterful study of color and pattern – featuring a double-sided fabric composed of two distinctly different (and equally appealing) striping patterns. This versatile piece allows for several styling options: display the bold, color-block-style of the first side or the rhythmic, narrow stripes of the other. Shift the position of the fold line and you can display a combination of both sides while wearing. With four different colorways included, and endless options for your own color creativity, here is a great opportunity for a truly one-of-a-kind accessory.

Kumon is the perfect balance of mindless and mindful and familiar and exciting, encouraging the hands’ second nature by beginning with the well-known rib stitch before seamlessly flourishing into sumptuous half-brioche. Uncomplicated yet thoughtful in shape, this piece is a sure layer to reach for during the cool hours of a misty morning. The garment in Arbor is worked flat in one piece from the bottom to the armholes, then back and fronts are worked separately to the shoulder. The front bands are picked up and knit after shoulders are seamed. The sleeves are knit flat and set in.

A top-down Quarry yoke patterned with large leaves makes a deeply satisfying knit and a cozy garment that will become a winter favorite. The cabled motif smoothly incorporates some of the yoke increases within the structure of the “veins,” so read the chart closely. Subtle details — unusual hem and cuff treatments combining rib and stockinette; tiny reversible cables carried up from the yoke design into the ribbed turtleneck at the center front — strike just the right notes. Tundra is designed to fall to the low hip, so choose a size that allows freedom of movement.

For gorgeous gift knitting, try Willamette, a deeply textured scarf with a reversible motif of cabled diamonds over garter stitch. There’s a chart for the A side and another for the B side; alternate knitting a row from each and you’ll end up with a beautifully patterned fabric that’s different but equally arresting on both sides. Willamette is active knitting with cables on every row, but the geometric motifs are predictable and easy to track. The pattern can be worked in Shelter for oversized coziness or in Loft for a scarf of more traditional scale.

“This design draws inspiration from both the new and old. I was intrigued by the modernity and drape of an oversized dolman tee, and I also loved the soft femininity of the simple, delicate prints of liberty cotton and vintage summer dresses. This pullover combines the two into the best of both worlds: a gentle, fern-like, allover cable motif joins with a loose and wonderfully drapey shape to create the perfect spring or summer sweater.” – Bristol Ivy Designer: Bristol Ivy Collection: Wool People, Volume…

Leander begins with twisted rib, morphing into a traveling current of brioche rib shaped to follow a sinuous course by a combination of decorative increases and decreases. This directional shaping also lends gentle curves along the scarf’s outer edges, fluidly framing the neck and the shoulders when draped. Worked in woolen-spun Shelter, Leander makes for a gratifying combination of tactile indulgence and lofty warmth. This scarf is worked in two pieces, each from the cast-on edge to the center; the pieces are then joined. The long edges are finished with a knit-in I-cord edging.

A good Pi Shawl is always welcome in my knitting bag. This type of construction, developed by Elizabeth Zimmermann in the 1950’s, is a perfect balance between mindless and attentive knitting. Upon completion of Chart A, the entire shawl will have only 4 total shaping rounds remaining. You’ll be amazed at how quickly this project will fly off your needles! Named after the stunning collection of poetry by American poet Walt Whitman, these pretty motifs remind me of the Spring Thaw and the plant life that returns after Winter’s end.

A snuggly cowl with simple but striking stitchwork makes the perfect deep winter accessory. Tailor Mason to your climate by selecting a double-stranded version for serious warmth or working with a single strand for a cowl appropriate to milder weather. Both Masons use ridges of a contrast color interrupted by slipped stitches for a woven effect that’s eye catching but simple to execute. A funnel shape improves the fit, and single-rib tubular edges provide an elastic and professional finish. Designer: Julie Hoover Collection: Winter…
