Boyfriend Sweaters Reviews

The nineteen garments and accessories Weinstein has created are guy-friendly classics with universal appeal...Whether you're interested in a 'His' or 'Hers,' you'll find a well-thought-out project to stitch. - Vogue Knitting magazine

The perfect jumper is one that's simple enough for him, yet stylish and flattering for her, and Bruce Weinstein's collection of boyfriend sweaters do just that! With 19 unisex projects to make, the designs are wardrobe classics that you'll be wearing (or borrowing!) for years to come. - Let's Knit magazine

The designs tend more towards the classic than the trendy, and they look like sweaters the guys I know in Real Life would actually wear. But knit in a smaller size and in a different color, they would look equally good on women...If you are looking for a set of nice classic designs for both men and women, look no further. - Wendy D. Johnson, WendyKnits.net and author of Socks from the Toe-Up

Break the sweater curse with Boyfriend Sweaters by Bruce Weinstein...With classic shapes and sophisticated details, these comfortable, effortlessly wearable sweaters are right on trend. --Interweave Knits
