Best Knitting Patterns for Boys

We recently wrote a blog post about the best knitting and crochet patterns for girls; now we didn’t want the boys to miss out, so we’ve found some of our most favourite patterns for boys. There are so many to choose from, but we’ve made a selection of some timeless and modern designs, that we are sure every little boy will love.

All the patterns we’ve chosen are available as both a PDF, so can be downloaded and printed at home or they can be sent out in the post.

We hope these inspire you to pick up your needles and make something lovely! Here are our favourites:

An item that will never go out of fashion is the waistcoat. Knitted here in James C. Brett Twisted Fashion Yarn, it makes a smart addition to a pair of jeans.

Another take on the waistcoat, with a timeless Aran design, and knitted here in bright modern colours. There are lots of lovely shades to choose from in the Hayfield Baby Chunky yarn

A smart, yet cosy and practical knit. You can choose from 2 different fisherman’s rib designs in this sweater pattern, knitted in Sirdar Supersoft Aran.

A nice easy knit, this sweater is knitted in Sirdar Crofter DK, giving this brilliant fair isle effect without the hard work.

This traditional fair isle sweater and slipover is knitted in Peter Pan Merino Baby DK, so is beautiful and soft and can be knitted from a 6 month size through to 5-6 years.
