Easter Knits

The holidays give us leave to dress up our home—to arrange centerpieces and hang window decorations, to indulge in a bit of whimsy or frivolity we might otherwise deny ourselves. Scandinavian knitting designers Arne and Carlos are fast becoming the go-to gurus when it comes to holiday style. Their fabulous first book 55 Christmas Balls to Knit is an international smash hit, and now they’re back, this time with Easter on the brain. Arne and Carlos provide a delightful collection of knit eggs, bunnies, and chicks, staying true to their taste for designs based on traditional Scandinavian knitwear, but giving them a fun, quirky twist by scaling them down into quick, small projects. In no time at all you, too, can enjoy the results of your knitting needles and these unique patterns: novel, handmade Easter ornaments, decorations, and dolls, perfect to lend charm to your abode while bringing a smile to your face.
