Synopsis

Drawing on knitting traditions from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland and the Faroe Islands, this book brings together a wide range of motifs, from stars, hearts and flowers to leaping reindeer, dancers and geometric patterns. Each design is shown as a hand-knitted swatch, photographed at actual size, and paired with clear colour charts plus a suggested reverse colourway.

Alongside the motif library, you will find guidance on reading colour charts and a review of two-colour knitting techniques, with advice on working these patterns into different projects. Additional sections cover choosing yarns, using colour and finishing methods, making it a useful reference for both beginners and experienced knitters.
