Estonia may be small in size, but its rich tradition and passion for handicraft are unparalleled. From techniques to embellishment to regional influences, Estonian knitting embodies a unique story told by the knitter and their home. Author Aleks Byrd's latest book provides an informative introduction to both traditional and modern styles of Estonian knitting. Offering 19 patterns, ranging from mittens to sweaters, Byrd seamlessly merges traditional techniques with contemporary designs. As a knitwear designer with roots in Estonia, Canada, and the USA, Byrd's work is reflective of her own graphic style and heritage. Through her book, she hopes to make the rich tradition of Estonian knitting accessible to all and foster a connection between Estonian knitters and the global knitting community. This 216 hardback book contains patterns for 10 sweaters, 1 cardigans, 1 dress, 1 vest, 1 shawls, 1 cowl, 1 hat, 1 pair of socks, 1 fingerless mitts pattern, and 1 mittens pair. Both charts and written instructions are provided.
