Book - Nordic Sailors' & Fishermen's Sweaters: Modern Knitwear

Knit a little maritime history into your next project. Nordic Sailors’ & Fishermen’s Sweaters: Modern Knitwear brings together 23 knitting patterns inspired by the sweaters worn by Scandinavian seafarers in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Drawn from the photographic archives of the Maritime Museum in Helsingør, Denmark, the designs carry those nautical traditions into pieces made for life today. With patterns for both adults and children, there’s something to make for yourself or someone you love.

It’s a thoughtful pick for the knitter who enjoys a story behind the stitches, the history lover with a soft spot for Nordic craft, or anyone planning their next sweater project.
