Interweave Knits consistently puts out the best knitting books. Coffeehouse Knits is full of classic patterns that will be in style for many years to come. The beautifully tailored garments will be a pleasure to knit and wear. A selection of sweaters, mitts, mittens, hats, scarves, shawls and cowls in yarn that your fingers will itch to touch will have knitters of all experience levels eager to cast on.
Warning : buy yarn when you pick up the book because you will want to start a project immediately. I can not wait until March to arrive to pick up my own copy. In the mean time I can decide in what order to knit the Dirty Chai, Fudge Swirls, Tasseography Cowl, Breakfast Brioche, House Blend cardigan, Extra Whip socks and so much more.

Love everything in this book. The cowls are great and the marshmallow tee looks doable. Definitely for the more experienced knitter though.

Classic sweaters, cowls, shawls, socks, and even a nice pair of cozy mittens. This book has a nice collection of patterns plus several essays on knitting and community. The authors evoke a warm coffeehouse oozing with friendship and wooly knitting projects. This would be a nice gift book for the knitters in your life.

Coffeehouse Knits edited by Kerry Bogert provides the reader/knitter with patterns and essays written by knitting designers. Knitting is often accompanied by a cup of coffee, either solitary or with a group meeting quite often at a coffeehouse. There is something for all skill levels: 20 patterns include 1 hat, 2 scarves, 4 cowls, 7 sweaters, 1 tee, 2 shawls, 2 pairs of socks and 1 pair of mittens. The patterns are accompanied by clear instructions and graphs and the designs are simply beautiful. The book also contains detailed techniques, abbreviations and yarn resources. The photography is such that you will want to get started immediately. Thank you to F + W Media and NetGalley for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

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.

Coffeehouse Knits is a different kind of knitting book for this reader. Alongside the patterns are essays by some of the patterns creators telling how they became knitters or what knitting communities mean to them. And the patterns! The patterns are as yummy as some decadent coffee drinks.

The patterns are not overly complex so a few can be done by beginning knitters, which is always nice to find. What impressed me most were the sweater patterns. I am not big on knit sweaters because while most look great on the super-thin models, they end up looking clunky on the average wearer. These, however, might just change my mind.

The cowl and scarf patterns are luscious. The Fudge Swirl scarf, which uses cables is a fascinating design that looks like it would be as much fun to wear and it would be to knit. As for cables, if you knit, you know they're not hard, they deliver a great look, but I sometimes find them tedious. And, I see a hat in my future.

All in all, Coffeehouse Knits has some very accessible and fun patterns and most are for portable objects, like cowls, hats, socks. The photography is great, just as you'd expect from Interweave. I think that this would make a great addition to anyone's knitting library.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
