Knitting in the Nordic Tradition - Vibeke Lind



This guide to Scandinavian knitting is a treasure trove of more than 100 graphed patterns in the authentic Nordic tradition. It includes patterns for children's and adults' sweaters, jackets, caps, mittens, stockings, and shawls, all simple in cut and striking in decoration.
The Introduction provides a brief historical look at the development of wool into yarn and offers tips on using the right tools, following patterns, incorporating designs, and making edgings and decorative borders. The book also suggests adapting classic patterns to suit individual needs and express personal tastes.
Richly illustrated with photos, charts, and drawings, this book features many photos of finished projects as well as historical images depicting people dressed in these beautiful sweaters, hats, and other forms of wearable art.
