Synopsis

All knitters want to create something attractive that shows off their skills—and beginners and intermediates who have little time and patience for difficult patterns will love these 25 simple, wearable jackets. They range from classic Chanel-inspired (in thick, velvety chenille) to a one-size-fits-all kimono. And every breathtaking piece can be completed in relatively short order, thanks to the easy-to-follow instructions and well-thought-out designs. Knit a sporty Aran tweed car coat knit with triple strands of fuschia yarn. Cuddle up in a fluffy white jacket with a big ribbed collar and matching belt that can double as a scarf. Celebrate Spring with a classy lightweight sleeveless jacket in cheerful yellow. Color photos of the finished garments capture their chic, contemporary style.

Reviews

Using classic shapes like the Chanel coat, Cohen has created a collection of versatile, stylish, easy-to-knit coat patterns that knitters will return to again and again. The patterns are simple--few are longer than two pages--with complete material lists and clear illustrations. The yarn used to knit the illustrations is provided in captions next to the photos, not in the material lists--a nice touch to encourage yarn choice. For easy reference, pattern stitches are listed at the beginning of each pattern. Cohen's passion for designing knitwear is clear from the care she takes in explaining her design process, the challenges she faced creating the patterns for the book, and the importance of yarn selection for a beautiful finished piece. Deciding which jacket to knit will be the most difficult step for knitters. Jennifer Palmer
