Men! Knit your boyfriend a sweater
and he leaves you a month later, or knit your husband a sweater that he leaves
in the drawer. Knitwear designer Tara Jon Manning has the secret to knitting your
favorite guy a great sweater that he will want to wear. Start by learning
how to investigate his personal style—discover his preferences and what
he wants in a sweater. Then explore how to make the best style and color choices—which
colors and textures flatter his physique—and how to customize a pattern
to achieve the perfect fit. Finally, select a sweater pattern from a masculine
collection of more than 20 original designs for men and boys including traditional
styles, historically based garments, and trendy fashion-forward pieces. Choose
from Aran, argyle, basket weave, and cabled rib patterns for knitting cardigans,
pullovers, V-necks, and vests, as well as accessories such as scarves and gloves.
Make the next sweater you knit for him the success you want it to be.
