The Art of Knitwear Repair

The Art of Knitwear Repair is a practical and inspiring guide to repairing knitwear and extending the life of your garments. The book encourages you to see the potential in worn or damaged knitwear – often, a small repair is all it takes to keep a favourite jumper, pair of socks or other knitted garment in use for years to come.

The book introduces a range of knitwear repair techniques, from simple fixes to visible and decorative stitches. Clear examples help you choose the right repair method and provide inspiration for making the repair itself part of the garment’s look.

In addition to repair techniques, the author shares advice on materials, knitwear care and reusing yarn. At the heart of the book is the idea that quality garments are worth caring for, maintaining and repairing rather than replacing at the first sign of wear or damage.

The author, Minttu Wikberg (@pawlymade), is a Finnish knitwear designer whose in-depth knowledge of knitted structures and mending forms the basis of the book’s practical guidance.
