Scandinavian Knitwear: 30 Original Designs from Traditional Patterns

In a three-thousand mile journey through Norway, Sweden and Finland, Alice Starmore collected literally hundreds of different patters from the traditional knitting of Scandinavia. Her research revealed a rich variety, from the simple black-and-white geometry of Norway, to the - almost Oriental complexity of the designs from eastern Finland. - Using these patterns as inspiration, she has designed a collection of 30 stunning original garments from men, women and children. These modern designs reflect all the diversity of the old Scandinavian patterns and the traditions behind them.
