Contemporary knitwear designer Birger Berge brings to you a collection of classic Norwegian knitting patterns with a distinctly modern twist.

Birger Berge is a trend-setting contemporary designer and is deeply passionate about traditional patterns and their origins. Berge was taught to knit as a child by his mother and grandmother, and for him, handcrafts have become a source of comfort and creative energy, and a well of endless inspiration.

In this collection of stunning knitwear designs, he blends his own distinctly modern style and a love of contrasts and dynamic colour combinations with the classic beauty of Norwegian patterning.

Inside, you’ll find eye-catching and varied knitting projects, including sweaters, cardigans, scarves, hats, mittens, and home décor and accessories; striking, wearable garments for everyone, featuring timeless motifs in vivid colours and compelling combinations; and beautiful full-colour photographs, easy-to-read-charts, and Birger Berge’s characteristic attention to detail and flair for composition.

Birger Berge is educated as a historian and works at The Holberg Prize, UiB; he became famous in Norway and around the world for knitting photos that he posted to Instagram. He is passionate about traditional craftsmanship and spends much of his time developing knitting patterns that showcase the rich aesthetic legacy of Scandinavia. He resides in Bergen, Norway.
