Bring the traditions of simple, design-led Nordic style to your knitting repertoire.

Nordic Knits is the complete collection of Nordic-inspired patterns that will bring the perfectly balanced, “less is more” Scandi sensibility to your knitting projects.This carefully researched book presents 44 knitted patterns inspired by this globally sought-after knitting tradition, including stylish, traditional projects from Sweden, Norway, and Iceland.

From beautifully patterned sweaters, shawls, mittens, and socks to a red nisse “elf” hat, Dala horse garland, a Viking-ship pillow, and tote bags, each pattern is inspired by a knitted item or artwork from a historical collection or museum.

To help you get the results you want, each project is partnered with:

Complete illustrated patterns
Four-color photography
Schematics and diagrams
Alternatives for yarns and needle weights and sizes
A photo and brief history of the knitted artifact that inspired the pattern

The patterns range from simple to more complicated, making this a great book to grow your craft at the same time as creating beautiful and giftable knits. Forever in style and always cool, the Nordic-style knits are the perfect gift for friends and family—or just a great self-gift anytime!

Knit using traditional techniques as you work your way through these contemporary patterns based on historical practice.
