Knit Modern Scandi Sweaters

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.
The sweaters are all graded to fit 10 different sizes - up to 133cm (53in) - and the fit is generous in order to suit a wide range of body types. This really is a sweater collection for the whole family regardless of age, gender or body shape.
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.
