Knitting patterns for women, men and kids

Knitting patterns for sweaters, shawls and accessories

In this category you'll find knitting patterns as booklets and single patterns for women, men and kids: sweaters, cardigans, scarves, shawls, socks and hats as well as home decor. The patterns include detailed instructions, measurements and material recommendations, and many also have schematics and knitting charts. Numerous designs are made for yarns from manufacturers such as Lang Yarns, Schoppel or Rico Design.

Which knitting pattern suits your skill level

Scarves, hats or shawls in stockinette or garter stitch, where fit doesn't matter much, are a good start. Socks, cables or top-down sweaters are the next step. For clothing, check the sizing and compare the finished measurements on the schematic with a garment that fits you well. Knitting charts show the pattern as a grid of symbols, and you read right-side rows from right to left.

Tip: Before every larger project, knit a gauge swatch slightly larger than 10 × 10 cm and wash or steam it like the finished piece. The pattern's gauge is what counts; the ball band is only a guideline.
