Scandi pullovers and their colorful knitting patterns are as popular as ever! Made from sturdy yarns of Icelandic, Norwegian, or Finnish sheep wool, they are warm and comfortable to wear. The possibilities for colors and motifs are endless. This creative knitting book brings together the ideas of eight Finnish knitting pattern designers, who share their unique interpretations of the Lopapeysa, the traditional Icelandic sweater. In a total of 18 designs, the Icelandic sweater is presented both traditionally and creatively, inspired by nature, foxes, and Viking ships. The simple instructions for the pullovers and cardigans for adults and children are easy to follow with clear knitting pattern charts. The beautiful sweaters were photographed in the stunning nature of Lapland. Features: 92 colored photos and illustrations.
