Book Description

Wilderness Knits for the Home is Linka Neumann’s second book, showcasing a stunning collection of homeware knits to make while embracing the Scandinavian spirit and cosying up next to a warm fire.

After the success of Wilderness Knits, with its cosy jumpers and cardigans set against the backdrop of the Norwegian landscape, Linka brings us gorgeous wall hangings, cushions, blankets (including for your dog!) and more. Once again, set in the stunning Norwegian countryside, the book inspires you to knit these beautiful creations and embrace the aesthetic of the Scandinavian wilderness.

As ever, Linka uses her environment to inspire her as well as animals from the snowy north with dogs, orcas, polar bears and reindeers finding their way into her designs. If making jumpers and cardigans with Scandi-style yokes feels too complicated for you, these simpler shapes of squares and rectangles will give you the confidence to make your own creations with similar designs. Including 27 projects all with knitting diagrams and inspirational photography you will be knitting presents for all your friends and family as well as for your own home in no time.

About Linka Neumann

Linka Neumann grew up in Oslo in a family who loved to travel; outdoor activities were a big part of her childhood. Linka also loved to draw and paint, but she was the only member of her family who didn’t knit! This changed after she worked in a nursing home where the staff and the patients knitted Linka made her first sweater, and so began a new chapter in her life.

Linka eventually began to design her own garments, and her first sweater, the Wilderness Sweater with its distinctive dog-paw-print motif, is still one of her most popular. She has published three books her first, published in 2019, was on the bestseller list for over 30 weeks and has been translated into several languages.
