Thrill to these 68 patterns for adorable knitted clothing designs
from KlompeLompe for babies, girls, boys, men, and women. The
now-world-beloved brand and style created by friends Hanne and
Torunn, mothers from Norway, brims with nature-inspired and sweetly
casual appeal. The patterns are perfect for every season's
adventures, whether everyday, parties, or special days like back to
school, christenings, Easter, and Christmas. For winter walks in
the woods with pockets full of pine cones, the Winter Pine Cone
Pants are just the thing. Make the play-perfect Balloon rompers,
which are nice with bare feet and suntanned skin but can also be
worn with tights and a thin undershirt on colder days. The
Winter-Fine Overalls are so comfy for crawling around in. The
Summer-Sweet Skirt has a classic silhouette, and mother and
daughter can have matching skirts. Or how about stylish matching
Easter sweaters for the whole family? These patterns offer sizes
for babies through 24 months, for boys and girls all the way up to
age 14, and for adults-because what's more fun than matching or
coordinating your loved ones' outfits? A handy 1-through-3
difficulty rating is included for the projects, and most patterns
are at level 2. If you want to make a quick and easy project, look
for level 1. If you have time for something a little more
challenging, go to level 3. Your little sweethearts will never look
sweeter. Patterns include Accessories, Coverlets, Dresses and
Skirts, Caps and Headbands, Mittens, Socks, and Scarves, Pants,
Pullovers, Sweater-Jackets, and Cardigans.
Playing with color, yarn, and crochet stitches&patterns, that's
what this book is all about. It's a true inspiration for both
beginner and advanced crocheters, to create beautiful and one of a
kind crochet projects. New crochet patterns, as well as familiar
ones, and sometimes an unexpected mix of both, are used in these
20-plus designs. The book features garments (like shawls, a vest, a
cardigan, a children's poncho), as well as blankets, rugs, bags,
and cushions. A wide range of styles, inspirational photography,
clear project descriptions and crochet charts will leave only one
question unanswered: where to start first? Most projects are
crocheted using the many pretty colors in the DMC Natura natural
fiber range ("XL", "Medium" and "Just Cotton") - a wonderfully soft
eco-friendly produced yarn. Others are made from DMC's superwash
merino "Woolly", which is 100% wool, and also lovely soft.
Learn an updated take on the vintage art of broomstick lace with
easy-to-follow photo tutorials! Made using a super-huge needle (the

step-by-step photo tutorial on the basic stitch using single
crochet is followed by additional broomstick lace tutorials. Learn

work broomstick lace with different stitches. Includes 20 original
designs for broomstick lace, ranging from accessories to baby items
to designs for the home.
