Knitting, crochet and sewing books from TOPP and frechverlag

TOPP and frechverlag books guide you through knitting, crochet and sewing projects with step-by-step instructions, illustrations and templates. Topics range from fashion and accessories to baby items, kids' projects, home decor and gift ideas. Many books include sewing patterns, templates and material tips, so you can see right away what you need for a project.

How to find the book for your skill level

If you're just starting out, books with detailed chapters on the basics and illustrated steps are helpful. More experienced crafters will find titles that focus on one topic, such as accessories or children's fashion, and bring together several designs around one idea. Checking the skill level, sizes and materials list for each title helps you decide.

The books work well for making the projects yourself and also as a gift for anyone who enjoys working with their hands. For knitting and crochet books, also check which yarn weights the designs use.

Tip: For sewing patterns from a book, check whether seam allowance is included and trace the pieces instead of cutting them out. That way the pattern sheet stays intact for other sizes.
