This is Linka Neumann's first knitting book - and it went straight to the bestselling list in Norway when published and has sold 33500 so far in Norway alone. The mask I now have on the right Pinne counts as 1 stitch since it was the previous stitch you cast off, and not the one you now have on the needle. There is a simple yet sophisticated pleasure in knitting that is hard to achieve with anything else. Here you have to knit over the stitches on 4 needles (and not 3 as on the purl stitch) as there are more stitches on the needle. I think this was not done traditionally but modern designers, realizing how much more comfortable the fit is if the back is higher than the front, are including instructions.From the Norwegian forests, snow-covered landscapes and fjords to reindeer, wolves and her beloved Husky dogs. Outdoor life has always been a big part of knitting designer Linka Neuman’s life, and she is dedicated to knit sweaters that not only look great, but also withstand rough weather.

The ideal yearn for snowy winter days, blustery hilltop walks or sitting around the campfire roasting marshmallows. Linka Neumann is a knitting designer who is known for her beautiful Scandinavian-style jumpers and cardigans, which led to her first book Wilderness Knits selling over 100,000 copies. In this book she shares designs for 23 different jumpers, cardigans, and headbands with the wilderness look inspired by the beautiful natural landscapes of Norway, which are photographed in this stunning book.

If making jumpers and cardigans with Scandi-style yokes feels too complicated for you, these simpler shapes of squares and rectangles will give you the confidence to make your own creations with similar designs. If you find it a little confusing to knit a pattern, you can use a post-it note and cover the rows you have not yet knitted.

You can also use stitch markers to mark every 5 stitches so you know exactly where to cast off, and you do not have to count during casting.A great way of making two favourite colours stand out as the yoke design takes one skein of each colour. Tip: If you have a tendency to knit very loose ribs, you can knit "Twisted straight" or "twisted purl" to make the rib tighter.
