Sunnfjord
NINA GRANLUND Sæther has studied traditional Norwegian folk patterns, and explains the history behind this design: “From Surnadal in Nordmøre and Gaular in Sogn and Fjordane, we recognize a pattern that’s constructed like stones in a wall. The elements of the pattern are arranged in bands; on every other row, the ‘stones’ are shifted so there are no stacked vertical joints. This pattern appears on mittens in Surnadal and Gaular. The University Museum in Bergen also has a pair of stockings with exactly the same pattern. It’s a pair from Sunnfjord, knitted in red and black homespun wool.”
PATTERN NOTES
Use 2.5mm needles for working size S, and 3mm needles for working size M.
The pattern recommends reinforcing the
heel flap with a reinforcing thread such as silk thread or nylon buttonhole thread.
