Janina Kuronen – författare

A fun and colourful collection of over 30 fashion-led crochet and knitting patterns to build your own sustainable wardrobe.  Author Janina Kuronen has been crocheting for over twenty years, but began making her own designs when she became frustrated at the lack of crochet and knitting patterns available for the kinds of clothes she actually wanted to wear. Soon after, her company ‘Puikottaa’ was born, and compiled here are the results of her work. This book embraces fun and fashion by covering a huge range of garments including bags, hats, scrunchies, vests, tops, blouses, dresses, skirts and even a pair of crocheted trousers! Also included are practical accessories such as cases for electronics and water bottle holders. There are patterns and illustrated charts to follow, as well as full colour photographs of all the finished projects so you have a reference for what they should look like. Suitable for every level, there are projects you could keep coming back to or finish in one sitting, and Janina has ensured that each project is as easy to follow as possible and adjustable for all sizes.Each item feels contemporary and thoughtful – this book is perfect for slow-fashion enthusiasts, whether gifting the joy of a handmade piece, or creating and curating your own personal style.
