Simple seams, no-fuss knits

Norwegian title: Søtt og smått

Kristiane Wågnes Skodde

At 15 years old, Kristiane Wågnes Skodde is already a seasoned craftswoman. This precocious knitter’s passion is to inspire other young people to experience the joy of creating.

Simple seams, no-fuss knits provides an easy introduction to get started on knits and seams, big and small. In this book, there are no huge patterns or complicated calculations. Instead, you will find 30 instructions, which you may adapt to suit your personal taste, and a comprehensive guide to basic techniques for sewing and knitting.

You will learn how to make re-usable makeup wipes, hair ties and beauty bags, purses and dog outfits – or how use your imagination and creativity to create something entirely new. Like the Kristiane hat, which can be turned into a small circle scarf or handbag if you lose progress on the way.

All instructions have a step-by-step guide with simple photos displaying the process. You will also learn about the different types of fabrics and yarns, and Kristiane shares her very best tips along the way.

Simple seams, no-fuss knits is a compact and handy book for anyone with the beating heart of a creative, whether you are just beginning to sew or knit, or looking for inspiration to some small, new projects.
