Hi!!! I can’t seem to find a tshirt or a nice sweater to make for my boyfriend… I’m looking for something simple because he is HUGE!
He has been complaining that I have never knitted anything for him and even said he would pay me 2 or 3 times my material fee LOL!
Looking for something that looks more like an everyday wear… hmm…
It’s a complement that he wants one of your hand knits isn’t it. He must admire the projects you make.
When you say “huge” do you have a chest and neck size which may help in offering suggestions for patterns?
He usually wear size L or XL, he is fit, tall and have broad shoulders. He has muscular boobs… model figure!
I’m very sure he wont wear it… but I think it’s cute that he wants to support my hobby. He helps me with choosing patterns and colors😂 absolutely love him
Sounds great to have help choosing yarns and patterns!
Do you have a preference for yarn weight? Bottom up or top down? What sort of sleeves do you prefer to make?
What about something like this? It’s quite plain but I like the detail added by the saddle shoulder stitch pattern.
Or maybe you’d like a cable or 3 to break up the monotony of a large section of stockinette?
You are so lucky to have a boyfriend who requests a sweater or T.
What about a subtle cable? V-necks are again the current style.
Here’s a plain one that comes is larger sizes.
And here’s one in even larger sizes.

And one with a pattern.
Here’s a T-shirt but I’m not sure how many men would really like the warmth of a knit T.
The Weststrand sisters have some great patterns for men which are large and’fit’!! I’ve made a couple and they look good too!
Moreover, the pattern book I bought now appears to be free ! So, result all round

I livein the US souther state of North Carolina and a knit T would be about the same as a polo style. Some polos are lace weight while others are more a dk weight. I wear them daily in the summer working at a home improvement store.
I would recommended Cotton blends or polyester (acrylic) for a knit T or sweater unless you are in a cold region.
V neck, henly, or mandarin collar.

Its better to take a Tshirt so that he can look better in Tshirt rather than sweater
I found these just this morning:
I only took a quick look though.
Not sure if I’m doing this properly, but the pattern was a Rowan pattern and the name of the jumper is ‘Holland’. You can just search for it on their site. It was lovely to knit.
Are we allowed to share patterns?
Maybe this one:
We can’t share actual pattern instructions here due to designer copyright but links to pattern sites are just fine.
