Er zijn steeds meer boeken over het breien op breiringen te koop. De onderstaande boeken zijn allemaal in Nederland te koop. ( december 2013)

 Learn to knit cables on looms. 

geschreven door Isela phelps.

Weer een dun boekje, maar met hele duidelijke uitleg over het maken van kabels op  looms. De projecten zijn gemaakt op de knifty knitter. Het zijn er 9, te weten: sokken, een babytruitje, 2 tassen, muts en sjaal en 2 omslagdoeken.

Dit boek is een aanrader. Door de duidelijke info over kabels maken biedt het zeker een uitdaging om eens iets anders te doen dan steeds maar weer recht toe recht aan breien.

  In Knittergekke brei-ideeën toont auteur Ivanka Mos uiteenlopende projecten, zoals gebreide eierdopjes om de paastafel paasklaar te maken en gebreide kerstengels om de kerstboom mee te versieren. Zo heeft iedereen het hele jaar door breiplezier!

 De samenstelster van deze uitgave heeft zich laten inspireren door haar eigen, zeer persoonlijke fantasieën en ze vertaald in vrolijke en lieve werkstukjes met een eigen twist. Kussens, een tafelloper, placemats, een theemuts, maar ook beestjes als flamingo's en kameleons. Vooral de laatste zijn bijzonder mooi, net als de kerstengeltjes en -mannetjes.
