Exploring Swedish Knitting Patterns & Designers: 13 Stunning Designs You’ll Love

Discover the beauty of Swedish knitting! 🇸🇪 In this video, I’m exploring Swedish knitting patterns, designers, and yarns — from traditional techniques like Bohus Stickning, Lovikka mittens, and twined knitting (tvåändsstickning) to 13 modern designs you’ll absolutely love. You’ll also learn about the Swedish climate and how it has shaped the country’s love for warm, practical handknits, plus I’ll introduce you to some of the most inspiring Swedish yarn companies — including Höner och Eir, Järbo, and Svarta Fåret. To celebrate, there’s also a giveaway where you can win a knitting pattern by Anne B. Hanssen — make sure to watch until the end for all the details! Whether you’re passionate about Scandinavian knitting, want to discover new designers and patterns, or simply love learning about knitting traditions around the world, this episode will inspire your next cast-on. I hope you enjoy!
