Amma CAL book by Tinna Þórudóttir Þorvaldar

The Amma Cal Pattern spiral book is the first of Icelandic textile artist and crochet designer Tinna Þórudóttir Þorvaldar to be printed in English.  This CAL was Tinna's 2021 CAL Pattern and is a special tribute to both her grandmothers and all the grandmothers worldwide that pass on their knowledge with love.

Tinna is internationally recognised for her mosaic crochet designs and colour work techniques and was a recent guest at the 2025 Crochet Guild Australia Convention.  Tinna's work is easily recognisable for her beautiful geometric style patterns filled with colour and flair.

This book has been printed in large print with clear instructions, charts and photographs of finished items.  It contains 5 mosaic crochet design square patterns, with instructions on how to create these squares in three different sized versions and how these sizes relate to one another to be able to be combined to create personalised blankets or cushions, as well as 2 of her signature border patterns.

Tinna has designed her book on a spiral binder for the convenience of the crocheter to be able to follow either her instructions or charts with her book remaining open.

The book also includes an explanation of the technique Tinna uses to join her squares for an invisible and seemless finish, with tips on how to plan ahead with your arrangement of motifs and colours.
