Nineteen designs and techniques inspired by menswear that will look good on both him and her. As long as men have had sweaters, women have borrowed them. Popular knitwear designer Bruce Weinstein bridges the gender gap by offering nineteen boyfriend sweaters and accessories that are uber-comfortable, stylish and sized to fit either sex. Featuring techniques knitters love, including reversibles, cables, Fair Isle and herringbone, as well as tips and ideas on making garments more masculine or feminine, these designs will look great on men and fabulous on women.
Bruce Weinstein is an authority on men (since he is one of them) and on handknits (he's been designing knitwear and teaching knitting for over a decade). He is also the co-author of 15 cookbooks, including the Ultimeate Cook Book series. He has appeared on the Today show, The View, CBS This Morning and QVC, and he writes for numerous national publications.
