Knits for Men: 20 Sweaters, Vests, and Accessories by Margaret Hubert

Published 2008

The book presents twenty original knitting projects for men's sweaters and accessories. Included will be a variety of sweaters and vests and a few accessories, like hats, mittens, scarves and slippers.

It will include classic masculine styles (Nordic, cables, ribs, stripes) made modern through color and yarn selection. The designs will be contemporary sweaters and accessories that men will want to wear. The yarns will be classics, smooths and chunky yarns for the most part in natural fibers like wool and cotton. The colors will be masculine some grays, browns, blues, etc.—but reflect current designer trends.

The projects will be suitable for a variety of skill levels, with most appropriate for the advanced beginner and intermediate knitter. Unusual techniques will be taught, but this is not a "learn to knit" book.
