We all need them sometimes - knitting “snacks”! As empowering as large, intricate projects can be for a knitter, it’s also good to have some counterbalance: smaller projects you can work on in between. 52 Weeks of Accessories was created to answer just that need.

Without doubt, this is Laine's most versatile collection yet: with a mix of different accessories from beanies and mittens to shawls, cowls and socks as well as various techniques and textures. 52 Weeks of Accessories is for everyone who already loves this series as well as for those who are new to it. There’s something for everyone.

This colourful and versatile book contains patterns for 52 inspirational accessories — mostly knits but also a few crochet pieces - created by 48 international designers. It is the perfect companion for those who love knitting hats, shawls, socks and mittens, but it also includes other fun projects such as cowls, hoods, headbands and bags.

The designs in 52 Weeks of Accessories are suitable for a range of knitting abilities and needs, and feature an array of techniques including cables and colourwork as well as simpler stitches. Thanks to their small size, accessories are quick and economical to make. They offer an excellent way to try out new things and play with yarn!
