Product Description

From the Publisher:

Embark on a knitting journey through the captivating landscapes of Shetland, the Hebrides, Gotland and Blidö with best-selling author and knitwear designer Erika Åberg (@wynja).

This stunning book features 20 timeless patterns inspired by the sea, wind and spirit of each island, perfect for knitters seeking one-of-a-kind garments infused with a touch of coastal magic.

From the outer Hebrides, whose 'poetry, history and stories are visible in the landscape', to Shetland, 'an island world of colours, light and patterns', discover the joy of creating unique pieces that reflect the essence of these captivating destinations.

Each chapter begins with an evocative and personal introduction to one of the islands, exploring its history and culture. This is followed by 5 stunning knitting patterns per chapter.
Each of the 20 exquisite hand-knitting patterns, from cozy sweaters and warm socks to stylish shawls, contains detailed pattern instructions and easy-to-follow color charts.
The essential techniques section at the start covers all the key knitting information you need, including tips on increasing and decreasing, working with more than one yarn color and grafting.
For knitters who are interested in the provenance and heritage of the sheep and wool the designs are knitted with, the book also contains a fascinating insight into the islands' native breeds, desirable properties of wool and an insight into the tradition of knitting in island life.

A treat for knitters and armchair travellers alike, Island Knitting invites you to explore the rugged beauty of these four unique islands: the Scottish islands of Shetland and the Hebrides, and the Swedish islands of Gotland and Blidö. Immerse yourself in the rich history, vibrant culture and breathtaking landscapes of each location as you learn to knit 20 beautiful garments inspired by the colors and culture of each island.
