Norwegian Knitting Designs

By Annichen Sibbern Bohn.

Charts and Patterns for Traditional Design

Norwegian Knitting Designs contains a treasure chest of traditional Norwegian knitting charts. Originally published in 1929, Annichen Sibbern Bohn travelled the Norwegian countryside, collected folk patterns that early 20th century modernization was quickly leaving behind and, published them in a slim yet vibrant volume that nearly single-handedly saved this tradition from the ragpile of history. Norwegian Knitting Designs provides a rich library of charted patterns for knitters, needleworkers, and craftspeople of all kinds.

This republication contains all of the charts from the earlier Norwegian and English editions, with the original patterns for two sweaters and one cap.

Paperback, 76 pages, published January 2011.
