Viking knitting

' Viking Patterns for Knitting' is another of my favorite books. Elsebeth Lavold is a Swedish knitwear designer. She uses patterns of ornaments from Viking artefacts such as swords, rune stones etc and translates them to knitting patterns.

From her book, I knitted this 'Ragna' cap. Or a hat....












I was so fascinated by these beautiful patterns and I also knitted this handbag.
