Happy Knits 2

Step back into Une Cecilie’s colourful world, where knitting and outdoor life come together in playful and inspiring ways.

The follow-up to the successful Happy Knits features more than 20 new patterns for sweaters, hats, balaclavas, mittens and accessories for adults, children and dogs.

Inspired by walks through forests, mountains and the ever-changing Norwegian landscape, Une Cecilie blends traditional knitting techniques with bold colours and modern outdoor style. Each design carries its own story, shaped by moments in nature and everyday adventures.

The book also shares Une Cecilie’s personal story of the loss of her beloved dog Juster and the new life growing inside her. As grief and pregnancy unfolded side by side, knitting, colour and nature became a source of calm, focus and mental clarity.

More than a knitting book, this is a celebration of mindfullness through creativity, time spent outdoors and the simple joy of making something beautiful by hand.
