It’s a question we’ve debated more than a few times around the table at Knit Tuck & Purl: Is he knit-worthy?
Does he appreciate the hours that go into a handmade gift? Does he understand that “just one more row” is not a reliable measure of time? Can he be trusted to keep a wool sweater out of the dryer?
These are important qualifications, friends.
But every so often, a pattern comes along that makes us consider knitting a whole sweater for our favorite guy. The Saddle-Shoulder Men’s Pullover by Churchmouse Yarns and Teas is one of those patterns.
With its classic crew neck, relaxed fit, and handsome shoulder details, this worsted-weight sweater is easy to picture over a T-shirt or collared shirt. It’s knit in pieces and seamed, with pattern guidance for adjusting the body and sleeve lengths—because a sweater made just for him should feel like it.
We’re imagining weekend walks, dinner out, and chilly mornings with a cup of coffee or tea. The sort of sweater he reaches for again and again—and proudly announces, “She made this.”
Now that’s a knit-worthy.
Of course, there is another perfectly reasonable reason to cast this one on: it would look spectacular on you, too.
Picture it pulled from his closet, sleeves casually rolled, paired with your favorite jeans. You picked the yarn. You chose the color. You knit every stitch. Surely that comes with borrowing privileges?
We suggest choosing a color he loves. And if it happens to look fabulous on you, well… what a happy coincidence.
Stop by Knit Tuck & Purl, and we’ll help you choose yarn, plan your size, and get ready to swatch. Whether you’re knitting for your husband, partner, son, or yourself, this classic deserves a huge consideration. We have a great selection of Donegal Yarn, Tweeds, or any favoite shop fiber....
Knit it for him. Borrow it often. Call it a shared investment. Between us girls... It's really for you!
