Nordic knitting is a traditional knitting style that originated in Nordic countries, such as Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Iceland. This style of knitting is known for its use of colorful and geometric patterns, often inspired by nature and the landscapes of the Nordic countries. The patterns are usually worked in the round, using a stranded colorwork technique where two or more colors are worked at the same time.
Nordic knitting has a long history, dating back to the Viking age, when knitters used natural dyes and handspun yarns to create warm and durable clothing. The traditional Nordic garments, such as sweaters, hats, mittens and socks, were made to withstand the harsh winter weather and were often passed down from generation to generation.
Fall will be here before we know it, and that means there are holidays coming right behind where we might be entertaining at home. It’s always fun to have a hand knit touch in your home for other people to see, and if you’re going to be in the kitchen all day you might as well have some nice knit dish cloths to use.
