Poems in masks - Solveig Hisdal, mod. 140

Patterns included in Swedish.

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

Model 140 is knitted in Ask wool yarn (formerly Hifa 2). The yarn pack contains the pattern and enough yarn for the largest size.
Inspired by flowers painted on the inside of a chest lid found at the Vestvågøy Museum.
