In Nordic Crafts she presents over 30 new projects which reflect the traditions of the Scandinavian countries, with a modern twist.

For playtime, felt animal masks will fire your child’s imagination, while nisse—mischievous elves—are easy to make from scraps of wool. The Danish love of coziness and comfort—‘hygge’—is reflected in patterns for felted slippers, embroidered mittens, and snoods for both adults and children.
