Description

Over 30 exquisitely adapted patterns from the timeless Norwegian classic by Annichen Sibbern Bøhn. A fully translated facsimile edition of the original 1929 book is included within! Contemporary style and fresh modern colours meet classic Norwegian knitting patterns in this magnificent collection. Annichen Sibbern Bøhn's timeless and beloved Norwegian Knitting Patterns, first published in 1929, has been a guiding light and a source of inspiration for knitters around the world for decades—and now, working from Bøhn's original set of charts, knit designer Wenche Roald has created brilliant, vividly rejuvenated patterns for everything from wrist warmers and sweaters, to mittens and baby blankets, for both children and adults. But that's not all: included in a slip pocket at the rear of the book is a fully translated facsimile edition of Annichen Sibbern Bøhn's 1929 classic. It includes the original foreword and introduction, and all of Bøhn's pattern charts and black-and-white photographs as they first appeared. Dive in and explore as what's old is made new again in this stunning pattern compendium no knitter should be without!

Author Biography:

Wenche Roald learned to knit at the age of five. She originally worked in systems development, but with her love of needles and yarn and an endless well of creativity, she gradually turned knitting and knit design from a cherished hobby into a full-time career. Annichen Sibbern Bøhn (born 1905, died 1978) was a Norwegian knitter, designer and writer. She is best known for her collection of Norwegian knitting patterns, which in 1929 led to the publication of the book Norwegian Knitting Patterns . She worked at the Norwegian Folk Museum when she started collecting the patterns, and her collection of knitting patterns laid the foundation for the diversity of knitting patterns that is known in Norway today.
