Make this simple and stylish desk set for your own dad or teach new knitters to make it for theirs.
Spoil your Dad and knit him this desk set in tasteful burgundy and grey. If you are teaching someone to knit, this is a good project to give them. “All the knitting is pretty simple but the 'putting together' might be a little tricky. The pen pot will be the most straightforward,” says designer Emma King. The set makes a great Father's Day gift, so new knitters can improve their skills while making something practical. Emma has knitted her set in Rowan Extra Fine Merino DK, using smaller needles than you'd usually choose for a DK. This, plus wool's natural springiness, ensures the knitting is nice and firm and will hold its shape. That way Dad will be able to enjoy it for years to come.
