He Oak - Digital Pattern

A simple and cosy men's sweater knitting pattern

This is a digital knitting pattern, designed by Sarah Crawford.

The simplicity of this jumper makes the most of these winter-friendly qualities: a shawl collar to pull up to block the wind or down to insulate the shoulders with another layer, mistake ribbing to add texture, a neat but comfortable fit, and classic casual styling for comfort and ease.

Saddle shoulders and lots of stockinette make for a fun but quick knit.

Choose the size with 10-12cm (4-4.75”) positive ease. Because there are so many sizes, we recommend printing this pattern and circling the instructions for your chosen size so that you do not get lost.
