A collection of patterns for classic sweaters and knitwear, inspired by treasured historical designs from Norway and Scandinavia
Inspired by traditional sweater styles worn by sailors and fishermen in the 19th and early 20th centuries, this collection is based on a photographic archive from the Maritime Museum in the eastern Denmark town of Helsingør.
The book contains 23 knitting patterns, plus size variations, for making stylish sweaters and accessories for both adults and children and includes historic and contemporary photos of each garment. Instructions are easy to follow and suitable for advanced beginners to experts; the text and patterns encourage knitters to build their level of skill by starting with hats to learn the stitches, then moving to more complex designs. Patterns are gender and age neutral so that the whole family can wear and enjoy these traditional, nautical knits.
Knitters will appreciate the clear instructions and size variations, as knitting books for garments that fit men are few and particularly in demand. And everyone will treasure the lovely photos and fascinating historical details about what the stitches represent and how these traditions have been passed down.
