Virka vågat

”A beautiful crochet book by the Finnish designer Molla Mills, inspired by every corner of the world.”
Alva Nordfeldt, Bibliotekstjänst, BTJ-häftet no. 15, 2024.

From the Finnish queen of crochet Molla Mills comes Virka vågat – a delightful book with 23 patterns for making original, stylish accessories and things for the home. These are pieces you will love and use for many years to come.

Crochet is having a comeback, and no wonder: it is a playful, sustainable and accessible craft. In this impressive book, Molla Mills brings together the best of modern crochet design in a range of projects, from a weekend bag and cushions to a sun cap and a picnic blanket. The colourful designs combine modern practicality with a unique style, inspired by flowers, nostalgic summers and Brooklyn neighbourhoods. There is also a comprehensive chapter on getting started with crochet and choosing yarn and tools to create different stitches and effects.

Create your own masterpieces by combining different patterns and varying the colours to suit your taste.
