About this title

Synopsis

All knitters want to create something attractive that shows off their skills—and these 25 jackets are simple to make, luxurious, and flattering! Every one 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; cuddle up in a fluffy white jacket with a big ribbed collar and matching belt; and celebrate spring with a lightweight sleeveless jacket in cheerful yellow. Color photos of the finished garments capture their chic, contemporary style.

From Booklist

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
