Nordic Winter Knits

Take on winter with these 25 cosy winter knitting patterns.

Knitwear designer Maja Karlsson has created a collection of cosy woollen knitting projects to keep you warm throughout the colder months. There’s everything from simpler quick-knits and beginner-friendly garments, such as mittens, leg warmers, socks and hats, to larger projects for the more experienced knitter including jumpers, cardigans, shawls and even hotpants. With a fun mix of techniques to try your hand at, such as colourwork, cables, lace, and different constructions for socks and mittens, this book is sure to brighten up both your wardrobe and winter evenings.

Maja is a hugely popular and experienced knitter and pattern maker and has created easy-to-follow descriptions and diagrams for each project, which are size inclusive and graded according to difficulty. The text is full of Maja’s advice and tips and tricks, and features a ‘knitting school’ that looks more in detail at some of the steps that require a little extra attention.

A beautiful and frosty Nordic landscape sets the backdrop for Helen Pé’s photographs, which together with a handy gallery overview will inspire you to find your next knitting project.
