By Carina Olsson

In Mer fair isle knitting, Carina Olsson has created 18 stylish and timeless basic models with nature as a color scale for, among other things, sweaters, cardigans, hats, scarves and mittens.

Fair isle knitting is a craft with roots in the Shetland Islands that has come to fascinate and inspire many knitting enthusiasts. In Sweden, more and more people have opened their eyes to multi-coloured knitting with pattern borders and woolen yarn in natural colours. Traditionally, a special color scheme is used where the colors mix in the borders and appear in new ways, while at the same time the patterns become clear.

The book contains Carina's stylish basic models for, among other things, sweaters, cardigans, hats, scarves and mittens. You can use them to create your own garments or knit them with the coloring suggested by Carina. In each project, Carina shares her work process, where she colors patterns, knits swatches and plans the placement of the patterns over the garments. Here you can find inspiration and solid tips for those who want to create their own garments! Try color schemes and patterns in a project bag, scarf or neckwarmer, and join us on a journey to 1920s Shetland.
