Knitting for Men: Fresh Spring Patterns

February 17, 2014 by AllFreeKnitting 3 Comments

I love knitting for men in the spring. Sound strange? Were you thinking I’d say I enjoy knitting for babies during Christmastime (along with 98% of knitters over the world)? Don’t get me wrong, I love cold weather knitting for tiny Knitting for Men: Fresh Spring Patternstots just as much as the next fiber enthusiast, but there’s something about masculine spring knitting patternthat really get my needles clicking. I think it has something to do with the fact that both of my brothers’ birthdays are in the spring.

Growing up, their birthdays were always happy events with all of my family milling around the backyard waiting for hamburgers to grill and potato salad to be served. Everyone was just happy to be outside after a long, cold winter. Some of my favorite knitting patterns have been presents that I have knit for them. Attractive knit sweater patterns or streamlined knit scarves. There’s something soothing and methodical about knitting for men. The lines are cleaner and the structure is simplified. There’s no need for fussy appliques or crazy fashion yarn that gets tangled in your needles. Knitting for my brothers has always been a mindless, yet reflective process.

The key to knitting for men is to keep it simple. Choose versatile neutrals and patterns with classic designs. Patterns are fine, as long as they’re simple and don’t compete with other details. Bold solid colors and light colored neutrals are great options for spring and can be carried over into other seasons as well. The bottom line is to not over-think it. If it seems too fussy, it probably is. Here are some of AllFreeKnitting‘s newly added spring knitting patterns for men.

    I have wanted to knit something for my boyfriend for a long time now, but I always feel like finding the right patterns for men is difficult. The advice to choose neutral colors and classic patterns is really helpful. I will definitely be trying out one of these patterns. Maybe the Fibonacci Scarf?
