Norwegian Sweater Techniques for Today's Knitter
Everything You Need to Create a Sweater Using Traditional Norwegian Techniques
by Therese Chynoweth
Norwegian sweater construction is the topic of this instructional book. Beginning with a look at in-the-round color stranded knitting methods, Norwegian Sweater Techniques progresses on to the various types of Norwegian pattern graphs (and how they can differ from Fair Isle patterns). Traditional steeking and cut & sew techniques for cardigans and armholes are covered extensively so as to guarantee success.
The various patterns utilize the advantages of Norwegian construction and apply them to non-traditionally Norwegian garments as well, so the reader can use them for many future projects. If you are an enthusiast of in-the-round knitting, there is a wealth of knowledge in this book that explains many of the "whys" called for in single patterns. The Norwegian techniques explained here yield sturdier construction and utilize a more versatile skill set.
