Whether he's a stylish city-dweller or a rugged outdoorsman, every dad can use a hand-knit gift. Making something by hand for your dad or another special man in your life is a fun and meaningful way to express your love. Father's Day is about a month away, which means there's still time to work up a great gift he'll use for years. The only tricky part can be choosing the right pattern, since you'll want a timeless style that fits easily into his wardrobe.

To help with that step, I've pulled together some terrific project suggestions for men from our free and booklet patterns. With a range of small accessories and attractive sweaters, there's something for every budget and skill level. Another stylish gift option is this week's free pattern, Larry, a handsome textured pullover knit in Berroco Remix®, our amazingly soft non-wool tweed.
