12 knitting patterns for modern sweaters from Swedish designer, Marita Clementz. Made with yarn from Iceland, Sweden and Norway, these sweaters are as cosy and warm as traditional Icelandic sweaters but with fresh, bright designs and colours for a brand new look.
Author, Marita Clementz, was inspired to design her bright, colourful sweaters when she couldn't find any knitting patterns that featured the kind of designs she was looking for. She has taken the concept of the traditional Scandinavian sweater and given it a fresh new look by using her own beautiful patterns and colours to make gorgeous sweaters that are as warm and snuggly as the traditional versions but look very contemporary.
The sweaters are all knitted top down and in the round so they can be easily adapted to change the length of the body and arms and there is no seaming to do later. They are designed to have a loose fit which means they work as unisex sweaters and can be worn by the whole family.
Marita uses unspun but not undyed yarn from Norway, Sweden and Iceland to get the same beautiful halo effect, and the same lightness and warmth you get with a traditional lopapeysa sweater.
This collection includes 12 top down sweater designs. Each design has an alternative colourway so you can see how it might look in a different palette and experiment with your own colour choices.
Marita is based in Sweden and as well as knitting she loves to go hiking. This collection of designs has been inspired by nature with its organic shapes and motifs including large flower blooms. The colour choices have also been inspired by the natural world with combinations influenced by the midnight sun in Sweden and midsummer flower meadows.
The sweaters are all graded to fit 10 different sizes and the fit is quite loose so will suit a wide range of body types. This really is a sweater collection for the whole family regardless of age, gender or body shape.

      Swedish knitwear designer Clementz has created a collection of vibrant sweaters with prominent, colorful, all-over motifs inspired by natural elements, such as flowers and mountains. All of the sweaters incorporate color work and are knitted top down and in the round with raglan shaping. Most of the designs are not gender-specific, and all are written for seven different sizes suitable for teens and adults. Other than the yoke, they have minimal shaping, and the colorwork requires only two colors per row. Knitters with some experience should encounter a number of designs that they can manage. Those accustomed to U.S. patterns will find themselves doing a bit more math, both to calculate how to accommodate increases and decreases as well as to determine where to center the pattern charts on the sweaters; all of this is explained at the beginning of the book. Most of the designs call for worsted/Aran-weight yarn, but two have summer versions in DK-weight yarn. Backmatter includes a guide to general techniques and abbreviations as well as an index. VERDICT Knitters will be inspired by this playful collection of reinterpreted traditional sweaters, charmingly modeled by three generations of the author's family.
