Selbu Patterns

Discover the Rich History of a Norwegian Knitting Tradition with Over 400 Charts and Classic Designs for Socks, Hats & Sweaters. Here is a tantalizing new book from the author of the magnificent Selbu Mittens, and it is simply gorgeous; even better than expected (and my expectations were lofty). As Anne Bårdsgård began collecting Selbu patterns for her mitten book, she had hundreds of additional garments with motifs too large, or otherwise not applicable to mittens - so, luckily for us, this follow-up book seemed inevitable. Just under 300 pages of charts and historical photographs, plus detailed descriptions of garment construction for knitters: men’s and women’s sweaters (both fitted and straight), stockings, hats, and baby bonnets. In English, thanks to Carol Rhoades. Hardcover, $39.95 P.S. We still have copies of Anne Bårdsgård’s splendid Selbu Mittens, Hc $39.95
