Niina Laitinen

Join Niina Laitinen on a journey around the world through gorgeous new knitting patterns. This book contains 20 sock patterns inspired by places and cities around the world, drawing on ancient stories, memorable sights and fond memories of the author's own travels. The 'Shanghai' socks are inspired by the gold dragon scales and flowing lace of China; delicate pale-pink cherry blossom motifs bedeck the 'Hanami' (flower viewing) socks that bring to mind springtime in Japan; while the flowing leaves of the tropical rainforests and the exotic creatures prescribe the vivid colourways of the 'Madagascar'-inspired pair. Laitinen has designed the patterns to be easy to knit in her trademark familiar style using double-pointed needles, or cable needles for the cabled details, and a creative use of colour. The instructions are clear, there are intricate, detailed pattern charts for each pair of socks, and the photos are rich, atmospheric and wonderfully evocative. Some instructions are written for multiple sizes, and others can be adapted using the instructions. Wherever you are, you can be sure to have the world at your feet!

Astu lumoavaan sukkatarhaan! Rakastetun suunnittelijan kuudennen sukkakirjan inspiraation lähteenä on puutarha kasveineen ja eläimineen. Kirjassa on sekä nilkka- että polvipituisia sukkia, jotka neulotaan kirjo- tai pintaneuleena eripaksuisista langoista. Alkuvuoden odotetuimman käsityökirjan valokuvat ja ulkoasu ovat tuttuun tapaan Viola Virtamon käsialaa.

Niina Laitinen is one of the most popular knitting designers in Scandinavia. This stunning collection of sock designs is inspired by the four seasons. Each of the 20 gorgeous patterns is accompanied by a beautiful description of the Finnish countryside that evokes the spirit of the Nordic seasons. The designs feature elements of nature in the shape of leaf patterns and beautiful lace and cable textures, to gorgeous colourwork featuring a geisha, a butterfly and heart patterns. They are knitted with the changing moods of the seasons in mind and include lightweight ankle-length designs for spring and summer, and heavier knee-length patterns for the colder winter weather. All the patterns have detailed charts to follow and range in difficulty from easy to more complex designs suitable for more advanced knitters.
