DESIGN: BJÖRG PJETURSDÓTTIR

COLOURING BOOK
Included in this pattern is a colouring book for the design BP 09 RENDUR socks. Children can visualise their wishes for the look of their BP 09 socks. The colouring book allows the knitters, the creator’s creativity to be free and play with colours, surfaces, stripes.

METHOD
The socks are worked in the round. The heel stitches are placed on a holder and worked at the end. Decreases are made on each side of the K2 sts on the side of the heel and the toes. Decrease by 4 sts on each rnd until 8 sts rem. A loose cast on is necessary in order to avoid the socks being too tight.

I have admired Björg Pjetursdóttir’s project RENDUR for a long time. She designed a series of patterns with the purpose to make use of leftover yarns.

I became captivated by these handmade, colourful garments, and in 2016 the dream of presenting Björgs patterns in einrúm yarn came true for me. We began working on the project of implementing and adjusting the patterns to the einrúm yarn and giving a hint on how one might use leftover yarn. The patterns allow the creator’s creativity to be free and play with colours, surfaces, stripes.
