Wonderful collection of knitting patterns and essays centred around the topic of coffee/coffeehouse.

I cannot say for certain which pattern I liked most, but I definitely will try to knit Chocolate Challah Pullover, because it has an interesting shoulder construction.

This book is targeted towards the more advanced knitter.

I loved this book! What a beautiful and well written and illustrated book. I wish it had been a "for kindle" book so it doesn't disappear after 55 days. That is a real bummer since I'm a very slow knitter! But it is a lovely book!

I received this book as a "to review" from Net Galley for my honest review which I have given here.

I received an advanced digital copy of this book from Netgalley.com and the publisher F+W Media/Interweave.

Interweave has become the go-to source for beautiful, on-trend knitting patterns. Coffeehouse Knits is another excellent pattern selection with engaging essays from the designers. As a knitter and coffee lover, this collection is perfect! Patterns are clear and concise with excellent photography.

5 out of 5 stars. Highly recommended.

This book is was curated with a wonderful mix of garments with a wide range of sizes (most seem to go from a XS/S to a 2x/3X) and accessories fit for late autumn and winter seasons. The simple patterns are written out, but the "complex patterns" are charted so having some experience with reading charts would be great. However, don't take my mention of "complex" to mean difficult. In reviewing the book, nothing in here is something an adventurous beginning or intermediate knitter can't complete.

There are beautiful pullovers and cardigans, along with shawls/scarves, and a few sock patterns. Most of the patterns are 1 color designs, but (as with the current trend) there is a bit of color work in this book. The patterns are easy to follow and the applicable patterns have concise schematics to follow.

I would recommend this book to any knitter who eagerly awaits "sweater weather" so that they can knit all of the garments, hats, and scarves.

Coffeehouse Knits is chock full of modern designs that are. Wearables and will become those classic items in your wardrobe. The instructions could t be any clearer. Great pictures with detail. Well worth buying, and giving..

This is a fun book of knitting patterns named for coffeehouse drinks, such as “Latte Swirl Sweater,” “House Blend Cardigan,” and “Chai Latte Cowl.” Projects include pullovers and cardigans, as well as accessories such as hats, scarves, shawls, socks, and cowls. None of the projects are overly complicated, but the patterns are designed for people already comfortable with knitting basics, rather than the first-time knitter. Techniques such as lace, cables, and intarsia. Instructions are clear and pictures, diagrams, and charts are provided. My first project will be the “Fudge Swirls Scarf!”

There are some cute projects here but I found the directions for the one I tried to be a bit confusing. Also other than giving each project a cute coffee name I don’t know why it’s called Coffeehouse Knits.

This is a wonderful looking hardcover book with 20 knit patterns. Each pattern is by a different designer. They range from beginner to advance knitter. A few sweaters are in 60 inch size however the others are in the 40 inch size. The photos show the details of the pattern and are well lit. The stories relate to each designer and their coffee habit.
Many thanks to NetGalley, F & W Media, and Kerry Bogert for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. My opinions are 100% my own and independent of receiving an advance copy.

I love the concept, knitting and coffee! The patterns are clean and classic, instructions are clear. I can see this being a popular knitting book. Definitely on my to buy list!

I love this book!! The patterns are all beautiful and seem easily knittable. There are a variety of patterns for all types of knitters, as well as a nice variety in terms of the garments.

As an avid knitter, I've always found Interweave has nice patterns, and this book is no exception. It includes 20 knitting patterns with 20 different designers and an interesting twist. There is an introduction and four short essays on the joys of knitting with others and meeting in coffee shops. The patterns include 7 sweaters, 2 scarves, 4 cowls, 1 hat, 1 pair of mittens, 2 pairs of socks, 1 Tee, and 2 shawls. They all have clear directions, nice pictures, and charts when appropriate. I'm especially looking forward to trying the two sock patterns which look very interesting, but not too difficult. In addition to the patterns and essays, there yarn resources, abbreviations, and directions (with diagrams) for castons, bindoffs, Kitchener stitch, German short rows, wrap and turn short rows, I cords, Tassels, Pom poms, and magic loop.

I thank F&W Media for providing me with the book so I could write an honest review.

Another super book from Interweave! Not one pattern I wouldn’t want to make. Lots of sweaters here that have great details to set the apart! Everyone will want to know where you got that sweater, socks, mittens or cowl. Thank you NetGalley for the free download and to the author and publisher as well. Just can’t say enough about Interweave books.

Another great knitting book from Interweave! There is a nice selection of patterns here with a little something to suit just about any knitter. Included are designs for sweaters, scarves and shawls, cowls, a hat, mittens and socks. I was initially excited to see the wide range of sweater sizes included, but quickly realized it was only certain sweaters. A couple of the sweater designs go up to a 60/63" bust, though I noticed at least one only sized into the low 40s so if this is a concern, you might want to check this book out from your local library first to be sure the design you're interested in is written for your size or you think it might be up- or down-sized utilizing your own skills and experience. Multiple well-lit photographs are included to show details well, always appreciated. Interspersed with the designs are stories centered around knitting which is a nice departure from just knitting patterns.

Thank you to F+W Media and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest review.

This cosy, comforting pattern collection includes a variety of relaxed garments and accessories.

The designs focus on texture with some simple knit/purl stitch patterns and some more complex swirling cables and lace. Most of the designs are knit in the round, which could present a challenge for beginners or those more used to pieced garments but getting to grips with this valuable skill opens up a huge world of patterns and is well worth the effort.

The patterns are intersperced with short essays on community knitting and the magic of sharing this craft with like-minded others. This would make it a lovely gift for someone who has discovered the craft but not yet the community that surrounds it.

The patterns are well written with charted stitch patterns and clear schematics and there is an extensive techniques section at the end to aid with any that may be unfamiliar. This book should have something for every knitter and it will be lovely to see the projects that emerge from it on Ravelry over time.

Coffeehouse knits blends together two of my favourite things - coffee and knitting. Apparently I’m not the only one! Enough knitters love their brews whether it is tea or coffee, so much so, that they have dedicated a whole book to the idea. More often than not when we knit we usually have a hot drink sitting beside us. The meditative quality of knitting lends itself to sipping something while you do it. Another popular activity of late is these “Stitch & Bitch” nights where knitters will meet up, usually at a coffeehouse and spend a few hours with like minded people knitting and sharing. It is a place where you can show off what you are working on, get advice if you are stuck and talk about whatever is going on in your life. It is usually a drop in type group and new members are welcome with open arms.

This book is beautiful. Not only do they have delicious names like “House Blend Cardigan” and “Breakfast Brioche Shawl”, the yarns used are yummy. Some of the patterns designs echo things like the swirl in the foam of of a frothy cappuccino or the speckles pattern that remain in your cup from tea leaves. I am in love with so many of the patterns and find them stylish and wearable. There is a range of difficulty so whether you are a new knitter or an experienced one, you will find enough to keep you interested. There is a small index of special techniques that are explained.

What makes this unique is that interspersed between the patterns are a selection of essays that muse of the experience of knitting. From knitting groups, to spending a night at home curled up the “how” of how we experience knitting is as important as the what of what we are knitting.

I can hardly wait until this book is out, in my hands, and I am knitting on of the patterns.

I am so glad I was able to review this book. This is one that I definitely need to add to my knitting library. Not only were the patterns great, I loved reading the content. Knitters are often the most wonderful people and this book makes you feel warm and cozy about being a part of that amazing community. And I'm actually going to cast on one of the patterns this weekend for our road trip to visit our daughter at college.

I received an ARC of this book to read through NetGalley in exchange for a fair review. Coffeehouse Knits edited by Kerry Bogert is a collection of knitting patterns and essays with a coffeehouse theme. The collection of 20 patterns will keep you toasty from head to toe. The patterns are easy to follow beautifully photographed and the essays are interesting to read.
Hat, Cowl, Shawl, Sweater, Cardigan, Mitten and Sock patterns are all included each one a delight. I will definitely be purchasing this book as I intend to make a number of the patterns in it. Publishing Date March 12, 2019 #NetGalley #Interweave #KerryBogert

Wow...this volume makes me wish I was a more advanced knitter. Some of the patterns are above my ability. There are some deliciously unique items that I would love to make.

My primary concern about this book is how it sells the concept of doing this work at a coffee shop. I don't consider many of these projects as portable as the author seems to think.

A truly delicious collection of knitwear. This is a highly inspirational book, suitable for all abilities. Can't wait to dive in to one of the patterns. Love it!

Coffeehouse Knits is a fantastic book. There is a collection of about twenty patterns, including, tops, cowls, socks, shawls and more. The patterns are a perfect match for the theme. They are interesting to knit, yet are simple enough to easily work while chatting. The patterns are great, in fact I had gone to search through my stash to cast one on before I'd even looked through them all. Most of the patterns have gone straight into my queue, which rarely happens. The instructions are clear and the charts are well laid out and easy to follow. There is also a series of essays about knitting, all of which were a pleasure to sit and read over a nice cup of coffee. Definitely a book to own.
