“If you’re not familiar with the Danish décor concept of ‘hygge,’ simply, it’s the idea of creating a convivial and cozy surrounding in your living spaces, so it becomes more about truly dwelling within them rather than just existing about them” (Gotto, 2021).

“Using your hands meaningfully triggers healthy engagement and activity in about 60 per cent of your brain, said Alton Barron. The rhythmic, mathematical nature of knitting and crocheting keep the mind absorbed in a healthy way, providing an escape from stressful thoughts but allowing for internal reflection, said Carrie Barron” (Sammy Caiola, 2014).

“Making things during winter is a cunning strategy to embrace hygge during these dingier months. Combine the joy of baking, the thrill of a chocolate cake made in five minutes, the snugness of a homemade shawl and the deep satisfaction of meeting with friends to make some or all of the above, and the result is a delicious, cozy, baked, yarn-filled toolkit with which to tackle winter’s onslaught” (Mitchell, 2017).
