We’ve designed this beautiful book full of timeless, wearable knitwear for men using three weights of Sirdar Country Classic. Cast-on with 4 Ply for finer knits like our Essential Roll Neck, choose Double Knitting for a Cable Crew Sweater or cosy up with Worsted for a stylish Shawl Collar Cardigan.
Inspired by popular men's knitwear brands, our designers selected four easy-wear shades across all three weights of Country Classic to ensure that every one of these knits for men will effortlessly complement his everyday wardrobe.
We’ve shown each design in two shades so you can return to this book again and again to knit your favourites.
