Alana Dakos Libros

Knitting patterns for sweaters, scarves, hats, and gloves.

Knitwear designers Alana Dakos and Hannah Fettig are two friends living on opposite ends of the United States. They have come together to produce Coastal Knits, a compilation of ten fresh designs inspired by Alana's California and Hannah's Maine coastlines. Each design captures the essence of their favorite local destinations, and is accompanied by photographs and essays on the location's special meaning to the designer. It is a personal, inspiration-based collection of sweaters and accessories that knitters of all levels will appreciate.

Annie really wants to learn how to knit. But when her mommy teaches her the stitches, she feels frustrated that her knitting looks more like swiss cheese than a real scarf. Will she slow down, be patient, and keep trying? Annie and the Swiss Cheese Scarf is a story about overcoming hurdles to learn something new, even when it's challenging. This is the hardcover book along with a puzzle, paper doll set, sheet of stickers, all packaged in a matching, decorative gift box.
