Find Your Next Knitting Project in 100 Knits

Interweave publications have been sharing fabulous knitting projects for more than 20 years, some of which have become instant classics.

100 Knits is a compilation of 100 patterns from various Interweave magazines including Interweave Knits, knitscene and others, as well as Interweave books. The patterns cover hats and socks; scarves, cowls, shawls and wraps; cardigans; pullovers; and tanks and tees.

The patterns come from more than 70 designers and cover a range of styles and techniques. Almost all the patterns are for women, and there are no projects for kids other than a pair of socks that comes in sizes ranging from kids to adults.

You’re sure to see projects here you recognize if you’re read Interweave publications through the years. Things like the Central Park Hoodie from Heather Londinsky or Evelyn L. Clark’s Swallowtail Shawl.

But if you haven’t been reading all their publications there are probably some new-to-you projects here as well, or some things you might have forgotten you loved and wanted to knit when they first came out.

There’s definitely a lot of projects here I’d love to knit — you can see all of them on Ravelry — from Jared Flood’s Koolhaas Hat, which I had forgotten about, to the Biscotti Sweater by Kiyomi Burgin, which I don’t think I had seen before.

There are lots of fun potential gift-knitting projects, from hats and shawls to interesting socks, or things you’ll want to make for yourself.

I would have liked this book to include information on when and where the projects were originally published (probably because I’m a knitting nerd) and some tips on substituting yarn might have been helpful. This book is quite literally 100 knitting patterns and a one-page introduction. So if you love Interweave knitting patterns and getting a lot of patterns when you buy a knitting book, this is definitely one you will want to check out.

About the book: 512 pages, 100 patterns, hardcover. Retail price: $45. Publication date: October 2018.
