Anna Bauer's pattern book

In the pattern book, Anna Bauer offers lots of patterns, both old and brand new, which you can knit, crochet, embroider in cross stitch or twist stitch, or lay as pearl tiles, with mosaics or with tiles. Here you can find traditional and well-known designs, but also newly drawn ones; neat and calm side by side with crazy and life-affirming.

The book is something as unusual as a modern brand book. Märkböcker were booklets published in Sweden from the 19th century onwards, with models for embroidery that could decorate pillowcases, sheets, towels, handkerchiefs and clothes. The stamp books from the 1930s, 40s and 50s are valued on the second-hand market.

Here, Anna has collected pattern sheets with borders, reported patterns and alphabets from her previous books and added lots of newly found and newly drawn ones. Read about how you can put patterns together and how to best color your pattern in knitting so that the pattern stands out clearly.

“Rating 5/5: Brilliant. Anna Bauer's large pattern book is a modern, elaborate and inspiring collection of patterns that are useful for many different projects, embroidery, beadwork, multi-colour crochet and above all knitting.”
