Traditional Danish Sweaters: 200 Stars and Other Classic Motifs from Historic Sweaters (Hoxbro Vivian)(Pevná vazba)

Single-color relief-stitch patterns in a rare and singular Scandinavian style. From a little-known chapter of knitting history comes the Danish "night sweater"--part of women's traditional dress in the 1800s, these sweaters have long been overlooked in surveys of Scandinavian handcrafting and design. But now celebrated Danish knitting expert Vivian H xbro has brought together diligent research, comprehensive charts, and her own painstaking efforts to reconstruct these carefully-preserved garments to create a unique collection of single-color relief patterns.
