Sápmi Strikk by Siv Romsdal

Sapmi Strikk is a knitting book by Siv Romsdal. It is a how-to pattern book that focuses on redevelopments of old Sámi knitting patterns and craftsmanship. The book is designed by Handverk.

Translated from the Norwegian:

Siv’s starting point is the work done by women before her to preserve and pass on the heritage of their foremothers. On her journey through yarns and colours, she has developed knitwear that incorporates details from old Sami patterns. And she has been inspired by the nature and culture she grew up in to create new knitwear designs. Her journey takes her through darkness and the Northern Lights, cloud marshes and summer heat, to Karesuando, Máze, Varanger, Jukkasjärvi, Billefjord and Kautokeino. The result is a feast of colours and patterns that are equally at home on the plains or in the city. The book contains knitting patterns for jumpers, cardigans, socks and mittens.

Typefaces used are Triptych Roman from the Pyte Foundry and Store Norske Maleri from Skriftkompani.
