Dagmar Slippers

I love this little sweater. Its traditional Nordic shape and cut is timeless. It’s knit bottom up in the round until the underarms. Next the front and back are worked separately back and forth in stockinette stitch creating armholes. The shoulders are joined with a 3-needle bind off, and then the sleeves are knit separately, bottom up with faci...

Windmills were built to drain water from the lowlands for homes and gardens, to cut wood, and grind wheat and rye. To me, windmills represent home, shelter, bread and flowers. Everything cozy or as the Dutch would say, “gezellig”. Once we were in the Netherlands for Molendagen, when all the mills are open for a weekend, and our little family ro...

Larsdatter Slippers are my twenty-first slipper pattern. If you don’t know this already. I am sentimental and have often designed clothing with secret messages for my children. This pattern is very personal to me, but I figure we all need a lift just now, so I thought I would share these slippers and the thoughts behind them with you. Knitting ...

Sørine Slippers are my twentieth Slipper pattern. I am so excited to share these slippers with you! I have already made three pairs of slippers, and I made each pair with a different DK-weight yarn. The first pair, I made with the beautiful Selkirk Worsted by Fleece and Harmony. The second pair I made with Shelter by Brooklyn Tweed, and the thi...

I love Valentine’s Day. I love winter and paper hearts and Valentines boxes and kids walking home from school with love notes from every member of the class. We love to leave small pink and red treasures on our porch from a “secret admirer” for each of our kids and ring the doorbell and run. I designed this hat to celebrate Valentine’s all year...

Hans Christian Slippers

Solveig was inspired by Solveig’s Song in Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite.

Arthur Olsen was my great grandpa. He was born in Norway, and as a boy he skied to school. He immigrated to the United States with his family when he was ten years old. He returned to Norway as a young man , but then crossed the Atlantic one more time to live in the United States for the rest of his life . He was a major influence throughout my...

Dala Horse Hat

Krissy Mitten are named after a pair of reindeer mittens I loved when I was 5 years old and everyone called me Krissy. I went sledding with a friend and her family, and while sledding, I got a bit scared, and put my hand out to slow my sled down and my beloved mitten flew off into the deep snow. I tried to find my mittens by climbing up the ste...

Mette is a traditional Norwegian cardigan with an all-over Selbu star pattern.

Norwegian fingerless mitts. Traditional with a twist.

My designs are inspired by my Scandinavian heritage, and I love how symbolic Norwegian patterns are. I was thrilled when Patricia Ann Fortune ask me to collaborate with her on this Immigrant Mitten. She had the vision of a Selbu mitten that would tell the story of Immigration. She had the idea to use a Selbu Star to represent Norway, and an 5-p...

This sweater was designed and knit for my daughter’s 25th birthday in a weekend. I have always loved the Icelandic Yoke Sweater (Lopapeysa) for its coziness and speedy knitting .Once you get the hang of it, these sweaters fly off the needles. but the fact that an experienced knitter can make one in a weekend, does not lessen the wow factor of t...

Pedersdatter is knit in the round, bottom up. It’s mostly knit with two colors at once, but there are several rows with three colors at once. The yellow and gold tulips are knit with the light yellow, and then the gold is made entirely with duplicate stitch after the knitting is completed. This makes it so that you don’t have to knit with four ...

I love this beautiful 4-color cowl (often 3 colors are carried at once) made with Rauma Tumi. This cozy has a subtle white and grey Latvian braid at the bottom and top of the cowl and colorwork in-between. This is the perfect project to learn how to manage 3 colors at once. To manage all those strands, I hold two contrasting colors in my left h...

Lotta is a whimsical pair of slippers that knit with white and blue with gold and red is added with embroidery.

Bergitte is knit completely in the round, bottom up. The ribbing and the button bands are cast on and knit together for the entire ribbing portion. Next the button bands are placed on holders (to be dealt with later) and then a steek is added and the body is knit. Next you knit the sleeves. Then you join the sleeves to the body and knit the yok...

I love this flowery yoke so much. I made three. The cropped, boxy fit and 3/4 length sleeves make Bergitte perfect for spring or cool summer evenings. It’s a super quick knit. Also includes instructions for a short-sleeve summer top knit with cotton.

Christian Peter is the men’s version of Dagna (or a boyfriend fit for women). I love this modern XO pattern. It’s one of my favorites. The sizes are based on men’s sizing.

Annetje is a super quick knit. Inspired by canal houses in Amsterdam. Knit bottom up, with all the fun color work as a reward at the top. Worsted weight.

This neck warmer was designed to be knit quickly and shipped off to warm a friend immediately.

This cozy neck warmer is knit in the round with a Latvian Braid at the top and bottom and a lining for extra warmth.

These happy fingerless mitts are knit with 2 colors at a time. The simple addition of some embroidered flowers and French knots make them look much more complicated than they really are to knit.

When I began Scandiwork, and decided to name all my knitting patterns afterancestors, these mittens were my very first design. My Norwegian grandpa’s name was Olsen. Here in America, both men and women go by the family name Olsen. But following Norwegian tradition, my family tree is filled with Olsens and

These quick-knit mittens in the Norwegian Selbu tradition produce a cozy mitten filled with symbolism for things the world could use a little more of right now: Hope, love, kindness, and courage. Includes heart-shaped cinnamon roll recipe.

FULL COLLECTION NORSEKNITS EBOOK NOW AVAILABLE!

I wanted at least one slipper in the Norseknits Collection to be overtly masculine and un-flowery. These Peder slippers, named for my great grandfather who emigrated from Norway, and for our youngest son who was named after him, fit the bill. While the motif is purely Scandinavian, it coincidentally feels Celtic, which is perfect for the Lord-o...
