Breathe new life into Norwegian tradition with one of Norway's hottest knit designers! Birger Berge, a trained historian, is also an Instagram star and trend-setting contemporary knitter who's deeply passionate about traditional patterns and their origins. Berge learned to knit as a child from his mother and grandmother, and for him handcrafts have become a source of comfort and creative energy, and a well of endless inspiration. Now, he combines his own distinctly modern style, a love of contrasts and dynamic color combinations, and the classic beauty of Norwegian patterning in a collection of gorgeous knitwear designs freshly adapted for an American knitting audience.The patterns here include sweaters, scarves, hats, mittens, and home décor and accessories, with garments designed for both women and men.
