not sure how helpful this is, but there are a lot more "vintage" knitting patterns for men because it used to be the only way regular people could have knitwear, but if that's inaccessible for any reason, id say its easier to make more "masc" knit pieces because generally "masculine" clothes utilise more boxy shapes and looser fits. so honestly just play around with making large squares/rectangles and peicing them together! itll help with muscle memory and just getting the hang of knitting in general, and you can really experiment and have fun! idk if that helps, just something i thought might be worth suggesting 😊

The lack of nice clothes for men is such a struggle, I'm more of a crocheter and I'm having to come up with my own stuff in order to make anything nice for myself that isn't either overly feminine or overly boring 😭

Me to except I've been knitting literally 12 years and it's so hard to find any masculine patterns that aren't either boring or the 800th sweater I'll have knitted. Like I just want to make my own clothes because I'm fcking tiny and swim in most men's clothing but all the patterns online are literally sweaters with like 3 hats and 2 scarves thrown in for some "flavor"

It took me almost two years to finish the Pure Mesh pullover. I don't even know how many times I frogged it. What finally helped was adding a lifeline every five or so rows, in case any stitches dropped or if there were errors.

Thanks for this! It's hard to find knitting recommendations videos, specially for different and not basic patterns. I really like your earth vest (I saw it on Instagram once and ended up finding your channel), but I wish there was a knitted version. It would be really cool if you did a knitting pattern version of it one day ^^

To me, all-over colorwork in geometric shapes accomplishes this. Especially when paired with a boxy/oversized shape-- ie, and oversized, drop-shoulder sweater.

as a curvy person, the problem i find with size inclusive patterns, especially by straight size people, is that they don't take into consideration body shape. there may be 5 or 10 sizes in the pattern, but no patterns i've ever seen include different body types. i'm an hourglass and my wife is an apple, so where a pattern made for me would increase at the waist (edit: hips), hers would decrease. it's literally impossible to make any pattern size inclusive, even with the consideration of body shape. good on these creators for trying, but that would take forever.

I don't know. I am late gen X and I do find these patterns to be non-feminine. I would classify them as "non-binary," which appeals to me as I am myself nonbinary. When I was younger, I felt more masculine, and to me that meant wearing black and gray mostly-- "drab" colors, and angular shapes. Is that conception of masculine dress similar to what you are referring to as the "masculine" of millennials?

A bit disappointing, not really for men, and the masculine influence, a bit of a stretch. Do a men’s pattern. Also a lot of patterns, including knitting and machine knitting, the sleeves are too short, always add 5cm on average for sleeves. Industrial sizing charts a plus.
