5.0 out of 5 stars Great selection of patterns for men and women, September 1, 2008
By Carol S. (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
  
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well planned knitting book, September 1, 2008
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.
