Crochet your favorite sweater - Janine Myska

Comfortable designs for every occasion in sizes XS to 5XL. Crochet patterns for your own wardrobe. Crochet sweaters and cardigans from cozy and warm to light and airy.

Classic or trendy – Crochet cardigans and sweaters with Janine Myska. Crocheting is Janine Myska's passion. With her label "Knits 'N Knots," she is known for timeless and everyday designs, which she is publishing for the first time in book form in "Crocheting Favorite Sweaters." The book contains 19 new crochet patterns for "sweater weather": sweaters, cardigans, and tops whose simple construction makes them suitable even for ambitious beginners. In addition to simple crochet patterns for beginners, advanced crocheters will also find more challenging models with design details such as turtlenecks, V-necks, cutouts, or raglan constructions. The projects are divided into four groups:
»Wardrobe Classics«: Basic models with simple patterns and straightforward cuts, making them perfect for anyone who wants to crochet their first sweater or cardigan
"Perfect for the snow": Crochet ponchos and more! Crocheted with thick yarn, these designs are especially warm. The careful selection of stitches and patterns ensures that the soft texture is maintained despite the yarn thickness and doesn't become too stiff.
"The Special Look": Crochet a unique top for a special occasion? The crochet patterns in this chapter surprise with asymmetrical silhouettes or special details (you can even crochet an entire dress!).
»Light and loose«: Crochet tops with a delicate look using finer yarn, which are ideal for warmer days
Crochet your own wardrobe. Ideas for every skill level and every taste. With her crochet patterns, Janine Myska aims to counter the notion that crochet, and crochet fashion in particular, is old-fashioned. Instead of a rigid "70s granny square look," she designs wearable garments with soft textures that are both comfortable and chic. All pieces are worked with a few basic stitches and use easy-to-learn, modern crochet patterns. The required techniques are explained in detail in illustrated step-by-step instructions. Ideally, you've already completed a few smaller projects before starting, such as crocheting amigurumi or some potholders or granny squares. Basic skills such as crocheting double crochet stitches, etc., are assumed—but otherwise, the patterns are also suitable for ambitious crochet beginners. At the beginning of the book, it is explained in detail how to choose the right size based on your own body measurements, which material is best suited, and which tips and tricks can be used to further individualize your favorite crochet pattern.
