Customer Reviews

Start your knitting season right!

I got this book a couple of weeks ago and already am in the middle of a couple of projects. Great designs - elegant and universal, easy to follow instructions, helpful techniques section. Anybody will find patterns to their liking. The book really inspires you to pick up your knitting needles. What a great start for the fall season!

Well planned knitting book

Out of the 24 patterns in this book, 11 are for men which is a rare find in a knitting book. All of the patterns are clean and classic. You could wear them for years. But my favorite are the 2 skirt patterns. Unlike many knitted skirts that are tights and clingy, these are more free-flowing and figure flattering.

Great selection of patterns for men and women

Casual Elegant Knits contains a lovely collection of about 24 patterns for men and women (no babies or children's wear). The patterns are divided into three groups, "City Life";"Elegant Afternoon"; and "Gotta Have It." For women, my favorites were the Lacy Scarf and simple but elegant silk tank. For men, I especially like the Gypsy Cable Scarf; the Sleek Line Sweater; and the Melange Scarf -- patterns the guys I know would actually wear and I'd enjoy knitting! I like that there are so many large, clear photographs of the projects, too.

Perfect gift for the knitter in your life.....

Just gave this as a gift to my aunt and she absolutely loves it. I made her promise me to make the driving cap and my younger cousin is already begging her to make a pair of the fingerless gloves for this fall. A few new modern twists on some classic designs!!
