Pattern Workbooks
The innovative Collage series from Brooklyn Tweed empowers you to become your own favorite designer. Beginning with a base shape, self-select details like collar stitch and style, hem silhouette and sleeve length for a finished garment that is wholly your own. This approachable workbook format walks you through each step with helpful illustrations and a concise planning worksheet.
One workbook — infinite variations!
The Platonic ideal of a pullover — that sweater that embodies all your favorite design elements and fits you just right. With a square shape and a cozy drape in both Loft and Peerie, this illustrated pattern workbook inspires the knitter to think outside the box, customizing collar, sleeve and hem for an array of stylish sweaters.
Choose Your Look
From classic vest to vented dress, Modern Tabard is the elevated layering piece your closet’s been craving. Clever details like versatile necklines and split hems bring this sophisticated design to life — perfectly tailored to your unique style. Knit a version for each season and keep it fresh by pairing with wide-legged trousers or a favorite long-sleeved tee.
