Sidsel J. Høivik – Embroidery and Crochet Decoration on Wristwarmer

The Norwegian Sidsel J. Høivik is a well-known designer with a unique style. Her ‘kofte’ designs (vest/knitted jacket) in Fair Isle and with rich embroideries are very popular.

For this workshop the intention is to knit the wrist warmers on forehand, you will receive the pattern by e-mail. This is because there is not enough time to both knit and decorate in class, and so everyone starts at the same point.

The wrist warmers have a regular motif, which we use as a basis for the decoration. Decorations in embroidery and crocheted work are applied to this.
Sidsel will demonstrate different types of stitches for decorating on a regular motif, with double stitches, chain stitches, bouillon stitches and French buttons.
She will also demonstrate fairly simple crochet stitches to make edges and other decorations on the wrist warmers.
