The Knitter’s Dude takes inspiration from the iconic Big Lebowski sweater, but it’s designed with the knitter’s enjoyment and inspiration in mind. It’s worked entirely in the round so that the stranded color work 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, so you can make it work for all the Dudes and Dudettes in your life.
And if you’ve got a tiny one, The Little Dude comes in sizes newborn to age 12! Get The Royal We, the ebook for both patterns.
These patterns were updated with an improved layout in October, 2023 so your knitting experience will be even better.
Crisp, geometric lines bring to mind intricate origami figures unfolded and pressed smooth. The easy-to-memorize lace pattern is charted and written out, and the generous length makes it a versatile wrap. Folded Paper’s mirrored symmetry is given gorgeous drape by Anzula Breeze, a linen-silk blend that’s perfect for warmer evenings. Take it along with you this summer as a great travel knitting project!
