workshop-based book
Often considered intimidating and complex, Norwegian sweater
construction is simplified in this one-of-a-kind, step-by-step book.

Norwegian sweater plus 20 patterns to make modern garments!
Beginning with a look at color stranded knitting methods, Norwegian
Sweater Techniques progresses on to the various types of Norwegian
pattern graphs (and how they can differ from Fair Isle patterns). An
emphasis is given to the use of ""cutting stitches"" for cardigans and
armholes, along with measuring for armholes, sewing along the sides of
the cutting stitches, and cutting the fabric to create these openings.
- Patterns utilize the advantages of Norwegian construction and apply
them to non-traditionally Norwegian garments
- Detailed color photos and drawings provide additional guidance
- Norwegian techniques yield sturdier construction and a more versatile
skill set
Norwegian sweaters have been popular for centuries, and it's no
wonder-they're classic, warm, and often feature beautiful colorwork. Now
you ""cut without fear"" and create your very own pieces employing these
time-honored techniques.
