Editorial Review: Product Description: These 20 patterns, ranging in difficulty from beginner to advanced, take knitters on a world tour of coats, jackets, and wraps. Inspired by open-front garments and textiles from around the globe—including Austria, England, Japan, Peru, and Norway—these figure-flattering designs bring a contemporary edge to a variety of knitting traditions. Step-by-step instructions and copious photographs illustrate how to use standard stockinette, garter, and cable stitches. More advanced techniques for fanciful lace and colorwork and the history behind beach pattern is also included. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Great classic styles that don't require you to be a master knitterI have another book by Cheryl Oberle Folk Shawls (Folk Knitting series) and loved her designs.

Rating: - JacketsThis book is what I wanted. Alot of times I just want a book that I think may help me decide what to make next. Sometimes for eye candy. This book satisfies both of these reasons. Rating: - Another great collection!A really diverse and classic collection of jackets here. The author has showcased some of her signature design techniques like seamless construction and beautiful finishing detail. There is everything from simple garter and seed stitch to two-color work, lace and cables. Many different yarns are used in the projects and each pattern includes information on the yarns that will allow the knitter to choose a substitute yarn easily. While the majority of the jackets are sized in ... Read More Rating:  - Knitted JacketsNice patterns, nice looking book. That said, there is one not-quite-fatal flaw (in my view). Most (not all) of the patterns are sized by changing needle size and gauge, as was done in Folk Vests. I don't believe this works out well on either end of the gauge spectrum; either the knitting is too loose or too tight. With the stable of talent available at Interweave Press, I think they could have done true pattern grading for these. Intermediate knitters can of course, resize any of these ... Read More
