Viking Knits and Ancient Ornaments by Elsebeth Lavold

Viking Knits and Ancient Ornaments by Elsebeth Lavold

Ever since her ground-breaking book Viking Patterns for Knitting was published, Elsebeth Lavold has been recognized as one of the world's leading experts on cabling. In the book, described as an indispensable milestone in 20th century knitting literature, she introduces her own innovation, using lifted increases to create interlace patterns instead of just to shape garments, and to bring new life to the ornamental heritage of the Vikings as adornment on modern knitwear. With more than a decade of added experience and continued research, she took the concept a step further. Still firmly based in her Scandinavian roots, she has studied cultures from all over the globe to find similar types of patterns. This resulted in a fascinating compilation of ornamental expressions, ancient as well as contemporary, and just as in Viking Patterns for Knitting she uses them as a launch pad for her own unique designs. Elsebeth genuinely enjoys sharing her knowledge. In addition to the abundance of beautiful garments presented in the book with complete instructions, she has analyzed a huge number of pattern types and displays them in both swatch and chart form, to allow you to make your own designs based on her research.
