Handknits From Rauma, Norway

30 timeless, endlessly wearable garments and accessories, including the best of Rauma's pattern archives.

Because the knitting tradition and history are so rich in Norway, the major yarn companies have major archives of knitting patterns. Bente Presterud has put together 30 designs including 5 gems from the rich and colorful Rauma yarn collection to be reworked for modern tastes.

• Jackets, sweaters, slippers, shawls, scarves, mittens, socks, and more, for women and men
• Patterns including textures, cabling, and traditional Norwegian designs—in fresh, fun color combinations
• Step-by-step instructions and full-color photographs, plus historical images reproduced from the archives of Rauma Garn
