Knitted socks are as much a part of Swedish cultural heritage as crispbread and Pippi Longstocking. Inspired by the traditional patterns and nature of her homeland, Maja Karlsson presents her sock collection with 35 new knitting ideas for every skill level. Start with simple knit-purl stitches or venture into two-color knitting patterns and challenging motifs. With the easy-to-follow instructions and tips in this book, there are no limits to your knitting skills!

From snowflakes to floral wreaths: classic Scandinavian patterns interpreted in a modern way

Maja Karlsson's diverse knitting patterns will captivate even experienced knitters! With heels ranging from classic to boomerang, creative inset patterns, and various knitting techniques, each pair tells its own story. Along the way, you'll learn how to avoid holes and evade "second sock syndrome" – the compact knitting course at the end of the book provides the necessary know-how. With many artfully arranged photographs, the knitted foot-flattering items are also a feast for the eyes, lending this creative book the quality of a picture book.

Grab your needles and sock yarn, cast on the stitches, and let yourself be swept away into the world of Scandinavian knitting patterns!
