For as long as women have been knitting, they’ve been
knitting garments for men—only to have men hide their
lovingly created pieces in drawers and closets. Men
aren’t being intentionally cruel; they’re just not
comfortable in knitwear made with bright colors, itchy
yarn, or flashy designs.
So what’s a knitter to do? Understand the male psyche,
says knitting instructor Bruce Weinstein. In Knits Men
Want he presents ten hilarious essays, each based on a
rule that helps women knit for men successfully. “Men Are
Babies” explains why guys need to wear soft fabrics. “Men
Hate Fittings” describes how to create a sweater based on
one that’s in his wardrobe. Following each essay is a
timeless master pattern, from socks, hats, and scarves to
an array of sweaters, all in a range of sizes and most
written for multiple gauges. With this book in hand,
women finally have the secret to knitting garments that
men will appreciate and actually wear.
