The best thing about practising mindfulness through craft is that you have something tangible to show at the end, and you can start small with the coral reef-inspired embroidery hoops, or just by making pompoms and tassels to be added to the edge of a cushion or blanket. You can learn techniques such as block printing, punch needling, shibori dyeing, weaving, macramé and quilting, all of which encourage a mindful approach, and a way to experience a feeling of 'flow'. Make unique things for yourself and your home, using natural materials such as wool, cotton, linen and leather.

Being “in the moment” is an essential part of following a pattern, keeping your yarn on the hook, counting stitches and remembering which colour to use next. Emma Leith shows how these qualities can become a form of mindfulness practice, bringing you peace, calm and a greater sense of well-being. There are projects you can make for yourself or your home, and others designed to be given as gifts. The satisfaction you’ll get from creating these lovely makes and seeing others appreciate them is another important way in which crochet can encourage a positive outlook and bring happiness. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis book uses UK crochet terms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-nostyle a-vertical a-spacing-none detail-bullet-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePaperback ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e128 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions ‏ : ‎ \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e20.9 x 1.1 x 27.2 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-nostyle a-vertical a-spacing-none detail-bullet-list\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50695440204092,"sku":"44693","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/3247\/3404\/files\/44693-mindful-crochet-pattern-book-web.jpg?v=1736329317"},{"product_id":"origami-for-mindfulness-35-calming-projects-craft-book","title":"Origami for Mindfulness 35 Calming Projects Craft Book","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eIndulge your mind with the Origami for Mindfulness craft book, featuring 35 projects specially crafted to promote relaxation, inner peace, and mindful living.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe therapeutic effects of origami are well known in Japan and here Mari Ono – an expert in Japanese papercrafts – reveals how a few simple folds can reduce stress, improve concentration and help overcome negativity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy focussing on the experience of creating beautiful paper flowers, objects, animals and more, this collection of 35 projects will guide you on a path to connectedness, awareness and improved physical and emotional health.
