Designs Inspired by the Knitting Traditions of Scandinavia, Iceland, and the Shetland Isles
Inspired by folk traditions and the wholesome
purity of natural wool yarns, this collection of 20 stunning patterns
for both traditional and contemporary womenÙs garments and accessories
is perfect for the modern knitter. The traditions of the quintessential
knitting cultures of Iceland, Shetland, Norway, and Sweden are examined,
from descriptions of the wools and yarns to the history of the clothing
traditionally made from them, including breathtaking photomontages of
these classic vintage styles. Exploring a range of techniques and
knitwear construction, the projects in this guide feature knitting in
the round, steeking, lace, cables, Fair Isle, twined knitting, and
embroidery and show how to create pieces such as cardigans, sweaters,
blouses, scarves, and hats.
