Henstrik a love story. Anna Bauer

Produktinformation

With simple and clear descriptions of a number of basic models, you can compose your own garment with patterns from all the pattern sheets in the book.

Your knitting. Your rules.

Chicken knitting is, in short, a cult-like way to knit patterns creatively and completely freely. It started in seventies Denmark, when Kirsten Hofstätter's book Hønsestrik was a great success with its anarchist and political allusion. The book that named the style became a concept that took on a life of its own, and is now spreading again like wildfire within the guerrilla band and among knitters who love color and pattern. Anna Bauer's book is a tribute both to chicken knitting and to the free creative desire – to come up with whatever you want and to knit in your own way with your favorite colors.

With simple and clear descriptions of a number of basic models, you can compose your own garment with patterns from all the pattern sheets in the book. You will find both larger and smaller projects, such as cardigans, sweaters, hats, mittens and ponchos, and in most of the descriptions you start from your own measurements.

Knitting can be so many things: a political stance, relaxation, community, and not least a breathtaking journey of discovery in your own creative space. Let the journey begin.
