Synopsis

Created by Navia, this book presents 28 knitting patterns for the whole family, spanning sweaters, cardigans, baby clothes and a lace-pattern shawl. The designs are described as timeless yet contemporary, with clean lines, bold colours and innovative techniques, aimed at confident knitters.

Each project is supported by detailed instructions, clear pattern charts and photography. Alongside the patterns, it explores the cultural significance of knitting in Faroese society, from the tradition of nålebinding (single-needle knitting) to the modern revival of intricate pattern work and the community shaped by agricultural heritage and knitting clubs.
