This is an advanced level knitting pattern for a shawl collar cardigan that combines pure merino blend Country Classic yarn, squishy fisherman’s rib and a generous shawl collar to create a cozy and stylish cardigan. The raglan sleeves and invisible pockets add an elegant silhouette to the design.

It can be challenging to find stylish men’s knitting patterns as the market for men’s knitting patterns is not as extensive as it is for women’s patterns. However, Sirdar’s Men’s Capsule Collection offers a range of timeless and elegant patterns that are suitable for men of all ages and styles. The collection features ten co-ordinating knits that can be made again and again to complement any man’s style.

This pattern is perfect for advanced knitters who have experience with different techniques such as fisherman’s rib, raglan sleeves and invisible pockets, and are looking for a stylish and cozy cardigan. The pure merino blend of the Country Classic yarn makes it perfect for cold weather and the fisherman’s rib gives it a squishy and textured feel. The shawl collar adds an extra cozy touch to the cardigan and the elegant silhouette created by the raglan sleeves and invisible pockets make it perfect for any occasion.

The Men’s Capsule Collection by Sirdar is a great resource for knitters looking for stylish and timeless men’s knitting patterns. This particular pattern, Shawl Collar Cardigan in Country Classic Worsted, is a great example of the collection’s unique and elegant designs that are suitable for any man’s style.

Christmas Sock Knitting Patterns

Why should the fireplace get all the fun? Instead of knitting stockings this year, why not whip up a pair of Christmas themed socks? These Christmas sock knitting patterns are lots of fun to make and you can wear them to holiday gatherings for years to come.

For our friends in the southern part of the world, there are the Christmas in July socks from the Kiwi Lodge – Kylie (Ravelry link). These shorty socks are covered in Christmas trees and have bright pink heels and toes for a tropical feel. There’s also an option to make a longer sock if you celebrate somewhere it’s colder.

Twin Stitches Designs (Ravelry) has a fun pattern with mix and match colorwork motifs you can use to build your own cozy Christmas socks. From the sample socks I see Christmas puddings, trucks hauling trees, Santa belts, ornaments and a couple of different borders. There may be more patterns included but the listing doesn’t say. Make a pair that matches or use different motifs on each foot for extra holiday cheer.

If you want to stick to Christmas puddings on your holiday socks, check out this cute pattern from Stone Knits. These lovely socks feature a band of puddings around the leg and a bit of holly by the toes.

These vintage holiday light socks from Grey Owl Knits by Sarah are classic looking and lots of fun at the same time. I love this color combination but of course you can make your lights and stripes whatever colors you like or have on hand. They’re worked using stranded knitting.

And if you’d like even more of a mix of patterns for your socks, try Barbara Ceglédi’s Christmas Chaos socks, a free pattern on Ravelry. The pattern includes 25 little motifs you can choose from, ranging from snowflakes and Christmas trees to elf hats, reindeer and hearts.
