0The rich and fascinating pattern traditions of the Faroe Islands, at your fingertips.

The Faroe Islands, a far-flung archipelago lying halfway between Norway and Iceland, have a rich and longstanding knitting tradition--knitting was once one of their largest export industries, as well as a dearly-loved pastime. Inspired by this bountiful heritage, knit designer Svanhild Str m and her mother Marjun Biskopst have brought contemporary style and classic Faroese motifs together in this striking collection of patterns, now available in English at last. 52 traditional Faroese designs come to life in a unique and eye-catching trove for any knitter with an interest in the twists, turns, and hidden treasures of Nordic knitting history.

  • Learn about the traditions and culture of these fascinating islands
  • Follow the footsteps of each motif through folk history, painstaking documentation, and living memory
  • Discover the beauty and flexibility of traditional patterning
  • Knit hats, sweaters, tunics, jackets, socks, slippers and more, including designs for men and women, children and adults
