the pbkd ride the rails jockstrap is another fun, meditative knit in the pb lineup. although i do live a good cable pattern, sometimes, knitting simple knit, purl and yarnover stitches makes for an interesting knit and a beautiful garment, designed with fingering weight yarn, this jock lends an homage to the traditional jockstraps of old.

pbkd ride the rails is based on the tried and true jock design of the previous patterns: twisted mister, woodsman, business travel, repetition, pollinator, viper room, knotty thoughts, pbkd tackle box among others!

the model samples are done in a super soft, squishy merino/cashmere/nylon blend to not only highlight the stitch pattern, but also gives incredible comfort to the wearer.
