Coffee Shop Knitting Groups with Red Heart Patterns
Knitting and Crocheting in public has become a big deal in the past few years. More and more I am seeing people pulling out their current WIP in public locations and chatting with others about what they are working on. One of the places that is most common to find others working a project is the local coffee shop. Coffee shop kitting is a great way to meet others that enjoy the craft like you.

Red Heart designers have been working hard to put together a collection of fashion ideas that we actually like to wear. These sweaters and accessories are a perfect balance of the look that we want while considering the way that we live each day and the places we go.
When photographing this collection they went to their local coffee shop, Amelie’s. The photos that they got from the shoot are beautiful and show off each piece in a way that makes you want to pick up your hooks and needles and get started right away.
In this round up you will see all 12 patterns included in the FREE ebook, along with links and material lists for the patterns. These are the perfect projects to make and wear for your next coffee shop knitting date. Which one will you start on first?
