Viking Knits

Learn to knit over forty Scandinavian-style items for men, women, and children with the Viking, social media star Lasse L. Matberg.

“Matberg’s overarching goal is creating versatile clothing that can be worn in tough and unpredictable climates. . . . This book offers intermediate and experienced knitters an inspiring guide to create eye-catching, durable knitwear that will never go out of style.” —Publishers Weekly

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 colorwork 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.”
