Norwegian knitting

Norwegian knitting is a traditional technique from Norway, characterized by its use of two colors of yarn to create intricate, patterned designs, often inspired by nature and folklore. It typically employs a method known as Fair Isle, where stitches are carried across the back of the work, allowing for a dense, warm fabric ideal for cold climates. This style often features geometric motifs or floral patterns and is commonly used in sweaters, hats, and mittens. The technique not only showcases artistic expression but also reflects the cultural heritage of Norway, making it a beloved craft among knitters worldwide.
