In the depths of Grimblewood forest, tucked away under rustling pine and spruce trees, you’ll find the Grimblewood gnomes: an eclectic and kindly bunch, ready to welcome anyone who rambles their way. From Gnorri, the skilled gardener tending to the Ancient Oak, to Gnoddy, who loves a cup of acorn and chanterelle tea, here is a charming circle of gnomes to knit and befriend... Need-to-gnome: Discover all the materials and notions you need, as well as all the necessary know-how, including how to block, stuff and assemble your gnomes to create their distinct personalities. Each gnome has their own distinguishing features: choose from hats with earflaps, cablework, tassels or whimsical curled tips; choose outfits with colourwork details, stripes or cabling; create majestic beards with corkscrew curls or delicate loops, or even add some beard pockets! Suitable for confident knitters, the book contains all the necessary colourwork and cable charts, along with Sarah’s ‘Chart of Everything’: the ultimate guide to calculating the yarn weights you need for each and every gnome. Every gnome is made in two weights of yarn – fingering (4-ply) and light worsted (DK/8-ply) – so you can knit your chosen new friend in a small or medium size. Or both! Advice is given on how to adapt your gnomes to make them child-friendly, if you wish to make friends for the little ones in your life. #NeverNotGnoming

Knitting, Crochet & Needlework Books: Craft With Intention

Textile crafts reward patience and repetition in a way few other disciplines do. DeSerres carries a broad selection of knitting, crochet, and needlework books covering beginner stitch guides, advanced pattern collections, and everything in between. The rhythm of circular knitting, the structure of a granny square, the precision of cross-stitch: each practice has its own logic, and a good book helps you find yours.

A Reference Worth Keeping

The best textile books outlast a single project. They become the resource you return to when a technique isn't clicking, when you want to push a pattern further, or when you're ready to try something new. Clear instruction matters, but so does the quality of the projects themselves : the kind that make you want to cast on immediately. Browse our Embroidery, Punch Needle & Needlework and Fine Arts & Hobby Books.
