Sometimes you just want to knit a simple project - nothing with fancy cables or complicated stitches - a classic that will fit almost everyone. Perhaps you’ve just discovered your love of knitting and you’re ready to graduate from scarves to something a bit more challenging. Maybe you’re an experienced knitter ready to begin customizing patterns to suit your unique style. No matter where you are on your knitting journey, Knits for Everybody has a project for you!

We chose four of our favorite basic knitting projects and created patterns in both fingering and worsted weight yarns. You’ll find easy-to-understand instructions for each project in sizes ranging from newborn to men’s XXL and women’s plus sizes. Knits for Everybody includes a versatile top-down raglan sweater with a ribbed neck, cuffs, and hem, a beanie-style hat with simple decreases, a pair of socks (or slippers) with instructions for both top-down or toe-up knitting, and a sweet and easy pair of mittens.

Consider Knits for Everybody a handbook of basic patterns for the whole family. Whether you need a gift for a friend or family member, or you’re knitting for yourself, there’s a project on these pages for you. Grab your needles and favorite yarn, and cast on today!
