THE BEST OF BROOKLYN TWEED

In over a decade of publishing knitwear patterns, certain designs stand out. These are the pieces that have become a part of our daily lives — the tried-and-true sweaters we wear with everything, favorite hats we always grab first, reliable go-to gifts and our coziest comfort knits.

In curating this selection of our very favorite designs, our team meticulously combed BT’s design archive, deliberating over our personal favorites and reviewing feedback from thousands of customers to distill a handful of designs that represent the essence of BT: knits that fit well, feel good, and look great on every body, whether dressed up, dressed down, or customized with your own personal flair.

Welcome to Essentials.

ESSENTIAL SWEATERS

Spotlight on:

SVENSON

At first glance, Svenson’s stitch patterns appear to incorporate traditional motifs, but its central honeycomb panels employ purl stitches to unusual effect, flanked by horseshoe cables that playfully experiment with scale for a modern take on the classic Aran-style pullover.

Knit our Classic version for a traditional tailored fit, or the Shaped version to comfortably fit smaller frames.

ESSENTIAL ACCESSORIES

Spotlight on:

GUERNSEY WRAP

This classic pattern is a perennial favorite with its engaging stitch patterns inspired by traditional fishermen's ganseys – a enjoyable introduction to charted knitting accessible to adventurous beginners.⁠

This practical piece serves equally well worn draped about the shoulders or tucked into a coat collar – knit it in a lofty woolen-spun yarn for understated elegance, or a smooth worsted-spun to highlight its textural patterning.
