Andrea Rangel The Knitter's Dude

The Knitter’s Dude from Andrea Rangel is a different take on classic colorwork, designed with the knitter’s enjoyment and inspiration in mind. It’s worked entirely in the round and steeked so that the stranded colorwork never has to be worked on the wrong side, and finishing doesn't require any seaming. The fit is relaxed and flattering with compound raglan yoke shaping, a generous collar, and beautiful tubular cast-on and bound-off edges. The sample is shown on a woman, but the pattern is unisex. There are instructions for modifying the sweater to be more appropriate for men’s tall sizes. And let's not forget the kiddos! If you want to knit one for the little ones in your life, check out The Little Dude.
