Scandinavian knitting

Scandinavian knitting refers to traditional knitting styles and patterns originating from Nordic countries like Norway, Sweden, and Iceland. It’s characterized by intricate, geometric designs such as snowflakes, stars, and reindeer, often inspired by nature and folklore. Techniques include stranded colorwork, where multiple yarns are used together to create detailed motifs, and unique methods for shaping and textured stitches. These patterns are often integrated into sweaters, mittens, and socks, reflecting a rich cultural heritage. Scandinavian knitting emphasizes both functionality and artistry, producing durable garments that celebrate the region's history and natural beauty.
