Scandinavian Knitwear: 30 original designs from traditional patterns by Alice Starmore

In a three-thousand mile journey through Norway, Sweden and Finland, Alice Starmore collected literally hundreds of different patterns from the traditional knitting of Scandinavia. Her research revealed a rich variety, from the simple black-and-white geometry of Norway, to the almost Oriental complexity of the designs from eastern Finland. Using these patterns as inspiration, she has designed a collection of thirty stunning original garments for men, women and children. These modern designs reflect all the diversity of the old Scandinavian patterns and the traditions behind them.
