Diagonal Rib Pullover from Cynthia Yanok is a design for men that features Knitglobal Sock Yarn, a 4-ply wool and nylon blend from Aurora Yarns. The yarn is held doubled throughout and the pattern calls for size 7 US (4.50 mm) needles. The overall ribbed pattern not only adds visual interest, it makes the sweater very comfortable to wear.

WARM AND earthy shades of Rowan’s classic Felted Tweed DK blend together perfectly in this attractive, classic scarf design by Mary Henderson. Stripes of different thicknesses are worked in linen stitch, a slipped stitch pattern that produces a dense fabric with an almost woven appearance. Mary has designed this scarf with men in mind, but it should appeal to women, too - for a totally different look, why not work it in shades of green and gold Felted Tweed, or blues, greys and lilacs?
