Beak Street Tee

Beak Street combines bold lines and bright colors in a striking, modern design.

The diagonal and horizontal elements are created using intarsia—it's not the easiest technique, but the results are worth it. This is a garment that makes a statement while still being practical and wearable.

Don’t let the intarsia intimidate you—this design can be worked on any flatbed knitting machine, no special attachments required. It’s a matter of managing yarns and following the color changes row by row. The bold graphic elements make it a perfect project to practice your intarsia skills.

The original design is slightly fitted with cap sleeves, but you can use any sweater style from the Knit It Now pattern library to make it your own. If you're not matching the original gauge, charting the color block design is easy using Knitter’s Graph Paper or the Magic Formula tool.

If you're a hand knitter, you might enjoy hand knitting the bands like the original pattern. But as a machine knitter, you’ve got options: substitute a machine-knit band or even finish with a simple crochet edge.
