Nothing makes me feel more accomplished than knitting various items for my home – whether that’s a set of purple tea cozies for my favorite tea pot or a garter stitch pillow with buttons for my sofa. You’ll find all of these patterns and much more in this beautiful book, Knitting at Home: 60 Classics from Ella Rae Designs by Elle Rae Designs.

One of the stand-out patterns, besides the five-colored Garter Stitch Throw (p. 140), is the flirtatious Twisted Scarf featured on p. 129. The pattern is simple and versatile - perfect for a night out as well as a cozy evening inside. From comfy, colorful afghans, to felted throw pillows and warm sweaters, you’ll find everything you could possibly want to knit for your home (and self).

Author and designer, Leanne Prouse, is known for her simple, yet classic, designs for the entire family. Prouse certainly delivers simple and elegant designs among the 60 patterns featured in this book. Patterns are broken down into six sections: A Room for Living, Relaxing, Sharing, Retreating, Little ones, and It's the Weekend. You’ll love the understated beauty in each of these patterns so much, you won’t know where to begin.
