Fresh, fun, and full of Nordic flair — this collection of 75 crochet motifs brings retro style to life in the most creative way.

Finnish designer Tuija Heikkinen showcases her unmistakable aesthetic in this vibrant pattern book. Inspired by retro fabric prints and iconic Scandi design brands like Marimekko, each motif is bursting with bold shapes, strong colors, and playful personality.

Grouped by themes — nature, kitchen, wardrobe, and living room — the motifs offer endless creative possibilities. Whether you're crocheting on the go or looking to use up leftover yarn, these compact projects are perfect stash busters. The book also includes ideas for turning motifs into practical items such as embellishments on bags and clothing, a decorative garland and a framed picture, so you can stitch something beautiful and useful.
