About this title

From the Inside Flap

Knitting sensations Arne and Carlos present 36 gorgeous patterns that evoke the simple joy of gardens no matter the time of year or location. Hydrangeas, roses, violets, and fluttering critters of all kinds are among the bucolic delights that are transformed into knit and crochet designs in this colorful, image-laden book.

Projects range from the small and decorative to the larger and more practical, including placemats, coasters, trivets, sachets, pillowcases, afghans, and throws, to name just a few. Along the way readers are entertained by the charming handmade dolls and mice Arne and Carlos have made popular in their other books, and who here become characters in their own garden adventure.

“We want to welcome you into our little world,” say Arne and Carlos. “In this book you see our garden and some of the projects it inspires us to make. Some of the projects are small and take no time at all ... the larger projects you can make when it rains or is cold ... or if you just want to sit still and let your thoughts fly while your hands work.”
