Learn to knit over 40 items for men, women and children with 'The Viking', social media star Lasse L. Matberg.

Lasse L. Matberg comes from a family who, for generations, have been working to create beautiful, quality crafted items by hand – fathers and grandfathers were craftsmen, and mothers and grandmothers often worked hard knitting warm garments for the whole family. Viking Knits is a tribute to good-quality, practical needlework, inspired by the Vikings’ warm, all-weather garments.

From tough-wearing sweaters and outerwear to elegant cardigans and jackets, all have been made in a beautiful Scandinavian style. Whether you love traditional, Nordic colourwork patterns and cables, or modern, textured knits, there is something for everyone. Clear instructions are provided for each project, and charts are included where needed.

'I hope this book will inspire you to create something valuable with your hands,' says Lasse L. Matberg. 'Welcome to a knitting book with both tradition and versatility.'

Reviews for Viking Knits: Over 40 Scandi Knits for Men, Women & Children

You might not associate Vikings with knitting, but they had great needlework skills. You too can master the craft thanks to Lasse Matberg's new book. From Nordic patterns to cable knits, clear instructions mean you can get busy - and cosy for the winter. A win-win. * The Sun * A substantial book packed full of patterns with lovely pictures and a sumptuous paper quality. Sweaters, cardigans, hats, mittens and accessories are included with many in co-ordinating sets, ideal for gifts. Most of the sweaters give a variation for children so you can kit out the whole family. I particularly liked the 'Breeze' sweater and 'The Viking' design. There are colour work designs and texture/cable patterns so almost every knitter is catered for. A gorgeous-looking book that has an interesting range of projects and certainly represents great value, ideal for anyone with basic skills who is looking to try different techniques. Would make a gorgeous gift for a knitter, especially if you put some yarn with it to get them started. * Customer Review *
