Jacket and Coat Knitting Patterns

It is still 90 degrees here as I write this, but, as my husband reminded me the other day, “In less than 3 months we’ll be worried about snow.” So even though it feels like summer, it’s the right time to start thinking of knitting fall jackets and coats so you’ll be ready for that first chill!
