Knits for Men

20 Sweaters, Vests, and Accessories

Margaret Hubert

This book presents twenty original knitting projects for men’s sweaters and accessories. Includes a variety of sweaters and vests and a few accessories, like hats, mittens, scarves and slippers.

You'll find classic masculine styles (Nordic, cables, ribs, stripes) made modern through color and yarn selection. The designs are contemporary--sweaters and accessories that men will want to wear.

The yarns used for the projects represent a full spectrum of choices in both price range and fiber content. Detailed project specs provide generic descriptions used by the Craft Yarn Council of America so the reader can easily substitute similar yarns.

The projects are designed for advance beginner and intermediate skill level knitters. There are lots of helpful tips for customizing size and photographic instructions for special stitches and techniques. For every project, detail photos show stitch patterns and "tricky" areas up close, an extra bonus that knitters don't get with most instructions.
