Baaaah! Finnish design knitted and colorfully embroidered - Vatanen, Sanna

First knit, then embroider: great patterns in 3D look

Two-tone jacquard patterns with diamonds, monochrome patterns with snow crystals, and slipped stitch patterns, all embellished with embroidery: These Scandinavian patterns look elaborate, but are actually quite simple! First, they are knitted in one or two colors, then embroidered with colorful yarns. This creates artfully designed winter fashion with a unique 3D look:

• Knitting, embroidery, felting – sustainable fashion with graphic patterns

• Detailed knitting instructions and embroidery templates for gloves, hats, cuffs, socks and scarves

• 20 handcraft projects in Scandinavian design, from the Lappi hat to felted slippers and the Salmiak scarf

• Information on sustainable wool and hand-dyed yarns as well as on old Finnish sheep breeds

Typically Finnish: Winter fashion made from sustainable wool

Colorful patterns made easy: The models from the knitting book "Baaa! Finnish Design Knitted and Colorfully Embroidered" are an insider tip for knitting beginners who still find Fair Isle techniques too complicated! Thanks to the monochrome knitting instructions, you don't have to concentrate on many threads while knitting. It's only the second step—embroidering the mittens, hats, neck warmers, and socks—that brings additional color and zest! For more advanced craft enthusiasts, the unique combination of knitting, embroidery, and felting offers a new twist and the opportunity to try out other techniques. The author, Sanna Vatanen, who teaches many craft workshops and is committed to the use of sustainably produced wool, finds the combination of knitting and embroidery just as relaxing as painting. Be inspired by her knitting patterns and embroidery templates for sustainable winter fashion!
