Tammy Honaman’s Pick: Central Park Hoodie

I’ve long dreamt of having the skills needed to confidently knit the Central Park Hoodie. So far, I’ve conquered my fear of cables but am still intimidated by garment construction. My want for knitting this pattern pushes me to practice, though, so I know I will soon have this coveted pattern as a true garment I can wear!

Content Manager, Kerry Bogert’s Pick: Linum Tee

I knit the Linum Tee when it first published, and it quickly became a summer wardrobe staple. Seeing it on the top of the list of best-selling patterns reminded me I need to knit another one to fit my body today. I can’t wait to have it back in rotation!

Technical Content Editor, Sandi Rosner’s Pick: Tangled Up in Gray Pullover

This was an easy choice. I love the Tangled Up In Gray Pullover. The combination of stockinette stitch and ribbing with the unconventional cable placement is classic and wearable without being “basic”. And I love a chunky turtleneck on a cold day. I want to wear it right now!

Digital Editor, Andrea Lotz’s Pick: Monterey Tee

The Monterey Tee has been on my must-knit list since it was first released, and 2023 is the year I finally cast on. I love an allover lace design, and I love the modern details that keep this tee current: boat neck, drop shoulders, and short, short sleeves.

Editorial Coordinator, Gabby Axner’s Pick: Monterey Tee

Like Andrea, my favorite from our best-selling 2022 patterns is the Monterey Tee. I cannot wait to cast-on this project so I can enjoy it this summer! I love boat-neck tops and cap-sleeves, and this top pairs them with an all-over lace pattern that is to die for. This is sure to be my summer staple, paired with high-rise shorts.
