This collection of patterns is inspired by the traditions of Ireland, the British Isles, Latvia, Iceland, the Faroe Islands and Sweden. Inspired is the key word here – they are not replicas of the traditions in either construction method, color or charts. I have rather tried to achieve an overall aesthetic that reflects the traditions in a contemporary way, using my favourite construction method, which is the top down seamless yoke or raglan sweater. At the beginning of each of the following patterns, you will find a few sentences about the knitting history and style of that particular region.

The collection includes five sweaters and two hats inspired by knitting traditions from: Shetland, Denmark, Norway, Estonia and Lithuania.

The Polish Collection Part 1 is a set of 6 sweater patterns that were all inspired by various historical folk art traditions in Poland. The folk traditions that are featured in this collection are wicker, bobbin lace, paper cut-outs, fabric weaving and metalwork. Each pattern features an introduction briefly describing each art form with images that show how the design of the pattern evolved.

Poland has rich and varied history of traditional folk embroidery that spans across history and diverse regions, and tells stories of place, care, artistry and celebration. The shape and form of traditional Polish embroidery appeared on clothing and domestic textiles like bedding and tablecloths, and was used for celebrations like weddings and cultural festivals, as well as adding colour and craft to the mundane and everyday.
