It seems that suddenly everyone wants to be Scandinavian, and to "hygge" (pronounced
hue-guh) which means "a sublime state of cosiness" felt when you are
with friends or loved ones. It can be enhanced by the addition of a log
fire, a sweet treat and a cozy knit . So spread the love, and keep
things cozy, by knitting yourself—or your family—a warm and beautiful
sweater, hat, gloves, or socks, with a Scandi feel.
From
Shetland to the Faroe Islands, Norway and beyond, there is a shared
tradition of knitting intricate patterns in colors that combine and
contrast. Whether you have been inspired by watching Danish dramas or
you are fascinated by the intricate geometric patterns of Fair Isle,
there are designs here that will make you want to pick up your needles
and get knitting. Garments include a tank top with a vintage feel, an
adorable cardigan for a baby, and a Nordic-style yoked sweater. For the
home, there’s a cafetiere cozy, a chunky pillow cover, and more. There’s
also a baby blanket that would make a perfect gift, and a lined cover
for your e-reader. With full color charts for all patterns, and a
techniques section to explain essential Fair-Isle knitting skills, you
will have everything you need to know. (Previously published as Fair Isle and Nordic Knits.)
