I wonder if I could substitute the Red Heart Super Saver with my favorite Caron Simply Soft? It works up with such a wonderful drape and it is so pliable. I most likely would use one hook size up to achieve the correct gauge and fit, because the Simply Soft is just a tad bit lighter weight yarn. I bet I would get tons of compliments with this coat!

Every time I see this I get all excited about it. I just love this coatigan. I always find myself making things for other people and that places the to make list for myself further and further down the list. I promised I will make this for myself and I am getting the materials ordered today.

Caf latte? I am having a pumpkin spice chai latte right now and that is what drew my attention to this piece while on my coffee break. The colors of the granny squares remind me so much of the colors found inside the local coffee house. Love this jacket. Looks awesome.

When I saw this Cafe Latte Crochet Coatigan I knew I had located my next crochet project. I searched around and found two more patterns in different colors and that made my decision that much harder. Now I have to select a color combination and take that plunge. I'll be set for next winter.

This Cafe Latte Crochet Coatigan has a personality of its own. There's always something mysterious in the color brown. Mysterious... maybe because it's a neutral color, it can be used by anybody regardless of race, color, political affiliation, or sexual preference. But really this coatigan is very elegant and stunning. The pattern is clear, complete with diagram and picture.
