Emily’s Crochet Book

Emily Thorbjørnsen

Amigurumi characters are small, personalised, crocheted mascots. This is a hobby that is becoming increasingly popular, and Emily's cute characters have a fresh, Nordic style. All those who have never crocheted before can learn to do so now. The most important techniques are explained using text and pictures in Crochet School at the front of the book – the simplest first and the most advanced at the end. It's easy to become enchanted by Emily's characters, and this book is also suitable for young adults who want to try their hand at a small (and feasible) handicraft project. Emily Thorbjørnsen has written an inspiring crochet book for young girls.

Fun with Yarn in Rosendal

Turid Lindeland

The inspiration for this book came from an old sock pattern and an old hotel in Rosendal in Hardanger. Turid Lindeland has given the traditional patterns a modern twist both in terms of colour and choice of models. Her vision is to be mindful of old handicraft techniques, here in terms of knitting and crocheting, and make durable products suitable for daily wear and tear. Here you'll find patterns for blankets for young and old, socks for big and small, cushions with and without patterns, covers for chairs, photo albums, mobiles, computers and much more. The difficulty level varies from very simple to that which requires a little more time and skill.

Hønsestrikk for the People

Linn Bryhn Jacobsen / Cecilie Kaurin

Hønsestrikk is a concept which came to light in the 1970s in Denmark, translating literally as Chicken knit. It involved Learning to knit by creating your own boards and putting together patterns which told a story, made a statement or showed what the makers liked to do or what made them happy. The authors of this book took their inspiration from this time and added their own twist. In this book you will find big and small projects for both children and adults with different difficultly levels. It is easy to see how you are progressing, because you complete one pattern knitting board at a time. When engaging in Hønsestrikk, you use the wool like coloured pens. This means you can choose the colours and patterns and combine them as you wish or as per the wool you have. If you make a mistake along the way it's no big deal, you just have to change the project so it works.

Needlework from the Garden

Arne Nerjordet / Carlos Zachrison

This is a cornucopia from the garden of Arne and Carlos! New this time around is the garter stitch technique, which is easy for everyone to master, regardless of age. The only requirements are two knitting needles and the ability to complete a knit stitch. The most beautiful butterflies take shape to become pot rests or seating pads, and inspiration taken from flowers, both in terms of colour and shape, is channelled into simple and some slightly more advanced projects. You'll meet Magnus the garden mouse, the picnicking hippy girls, and the bees that buzz around in the trees. There are also plenty of ideas for lovely big throws to be created from your leftover yarn.
