Oh, the colours of Norway! Norwegian nature surprises us with so many different shades of green, yellow, orange and blue: pine trees, birches, flowers, mosses, sea, lakes, glaciers…

Features

• In the colourwork leg you only ever knit with 2 colours per row.
• The socks are knitted in the round, and the pattern is written for circular needle and magic loop technique, but can as well be knitted on DPN’s.
