Knitting mittens, socks and more - Erika Åberg

There is no reason to go out and freeze. Here you will find warming thumb mitts, fingerless mitts, socks, stockings and more. Practical and playful garments in classic yet updated styles. They are designed to be fun to knit, beautiful to wear and, of course, fit well.

Mittens are an excellent garment when you want to try a new technique or a particular pattern. Knit patterned mittens in Gotland wool, striped fingerless mitts that go with everything, snowflake cowl mittens for young and old, or a neck warmer in lovely patterned knitting with matching fingerless mitts. Among the descriptions you will also find chunky yet soft socks with a lace pattern, stockings and a number of hats. Most of the projects are easy to tackle, but there are also a few where the knitting can take its time.

Everything is knitted from natural materials and the book begins with care instructions and a little about pattern diagrams and textile materials. In addition, you will learn more about how to approach knitting with multiple colours. Here are garments in the natural shades of wool, in accent colours and in beautiful hand-dyed yarns from some of Sweden's master dyers.
