Poems in Masks – Solveig Hisdal, mod. 108

For the book Poems in Masks, designer Solveig Hisdal drew inspiration from traditional patterns and techniques from, among others, textiles, rosemaling chests and cabinets, wallpapers, national costumes, and bridal cloths. She visited museums to gather knowledge and inspiration, using this to create a book full of knitted treasures. The book was published in 1997 and is unfortunately not available for sale today.

Model 108 is knitted in Alv Kamgarn. The yarn pack contains the pattern and enough yarn for the largest size.
Inspired by beautiful weavings and baptismal items found at the Hardanger and Hallingdal Folk Museums. The outfit set consists of a sweater, overalls, and a hat. The sweater is embroidered with buttonhole stitch, and the hat is decorated with bright white, yellow, and green beads, a floral cotton fabric, and three tassels.
