Craft Books by International Designers

This category gathers every English-language craft book at Hobianna in one place: crochet toy books such as Chenille Amigurumi, Mini Amigurumi and Amigurumi Adventures; cross stitch books such as Countryside and Happy Days Cross Stitch; embroidery books such as Blossoming Embroidery and The Botanist's Cabinet; felt books such as Sew Felt Cuties; and knitting titles such as Mosaic Crochet and Flower Knitting. All are original imported editions. Local-language titles are in the Cross Stitch, Embroidery, Knitting and Felt book categories.

Do You Need the Language?

Craft books are largely visual and charted: cross stitch charts use symbols and DMC codes, crochet and knitting patterns international symbol charts, embroidery and felt projects step-by-step photos. In amigurumi a handful of abbreviations such as sc, inc and dec is all you need, which makes these books the easiest route to modern designs with no local equivalent.

Why imported titles?

Current trends such as modern amigurumi characters, botanical embroidery and mosaic crochet appear first in English; designer books offer original patterns and high print quality and make popular gifts.
