Wilderness Knits for the Great Outdoors by Linka Neumann

If you love knitting and being warm on your outdoor adventures, Wilderness Knits for the Great Outdoors by Linka Neumann has got your name all over it. You can knit up cosy sweaters, cardigans, warm hats, and frostproof mittens, all designed to keep you snug, during the winter months.

Designed to be knitted using hardy Norwegian and Icelandic wool like Lopi yarns, your handknit garments will repel water and cold, so they’re perfect for hikes, dog walks, or just braving the brisk Scottish air.

Each colourwork knit design is inspired by the wild north of Norway, with motifs including polar bears, the Arctic sun, Hopi dreamcatchers, sled dogs, snowflakes, and falling snow.

Wilderness Knits for the Great Outdoors includes 23 knitting patterns including:

• 12 adult sweaters & cardigans in sizes S to XXL, with options for raglan sleeves, roll-necks, and hoods
• 6 matching children’s sweaters from ages 1 to 10, so you can knit sweaters for your whole family
• 3 beanie hats
• 2 sets of mittens

Each knitting pattern is suitable for confident knitters and comes with full written instructions and colourwork charts. Linka also offers advice on measuring yourself to pick the perfect size to cast on and includes multiple colourways to inspire you to make your own yarn choices.
