Our cover model Scott is wearing ‘Dirty Vest’, a design inspired by Bruce Willis’ grime covered vest in the Die Hard movies. It’s not easy fighting bad guys when the shirt is ripped from your back leaving nothing but your vest to protect you from explosions, dust and debris; but when the going gets tough the tough get dirty and Dirty Vest is pattern number 1 in this year’s Calendar Club, yippee ki yay!

This is a simple yet striking knit. Worn with negative ease, (a smaller garment size than actual chest size), it’s a figure hugging vest or make a size larger and wear it over a t-shirt. It’s knit on 4mm needles in the round and features a twisted rib front panel for added interest and stretch.

Men In Knitwear Calendar Club is a Stitch Seekers production. A calendar of, well… men in knitwear, but wait, there’s more! Each month also contains the knitting pattern for the knitwear pieces our lovely models will be sporting, it’s a win-win! Subscribe to the MIK calendar and enjoy a new man in your inbox at the start of every month. That’s 12 small to medium sized projects on a larger than life man + the bonus cover design; a total of 13 super cool knitting patterns brought to life by our handsome models. We don’t want to distract you from the knitwear so the models won’t be wearing loads of other clothes. You’ll never forget an appointment again!
