Step into the world of Nordic maritime heritage with Nordic Sailors' & Fishermen's Sweaters by Lotte Rahbek and Gitte Verner Jensen. It's a stunning collection that honors the woolly traditions of Scandinavian seafarers. Inspired by photographs from the 19th and early 20th centuries housed in the Maritime Museum of Helsingør, Denmark, this beautiful book transforms historic working garments into heirloom knits for today! Rugged, practical, and full of character, these are sweaters born of necessity, shaped by the sea, and made modern for knitters today!
The designs in this collection celebrate the heart of Nordic knitting: durable, wool-forward construction, timeless textures, and clean silhouettes. Whether your drawn to the rustic charm of traditional stitch patterns or the enduring beauty of natural, woolly yarns, this book offers both inspiration and an incredible connection to craft and history.
