Cozy Publishing's Nordic Textures in Crochet Garments brings together textiles and handcraft through the work of Latvian-born textile artist Linda Skuja, who draws on Nordic esthetics to create texture-rich crocheted garments. The book features 12 patterns for crocheted sweaters and cardigans, with intriguing textures taking center stage. The instructions are aimed especially at intermediate and more experienced crocheters – and since every pattern is designed to be adaptable, you're free to choose your own yarn colors and materials to suit your taste.
Linda Skuja invites you into her Nordic way of thinking through quiet epiphanies that reveal how she observes and interprets the world around her. At the heart of her work lies a powerful idea: reproducible art – a new perspective on art and craft as living, shared expression. Rather than focusing on uniqueness and ownership, she shifts the narrative toward art that is shared, collaborative, and ever evolving.
