Samenvatting

The history and practice of knitting in Portugal, with 20 beautiful, traditionally-inspired patterns.



In this stylish and practical book, Rosa Pomar marries traditional techniques with modern design and presents a unique insight into the art of Portuguese knitting.

Rosa begins with a detailed exploration of its fascinating history, supported by numerous historical photographs and intriguing anecdotes. This is followed by a detailed section on the technique itself in which clear, step-by-step instructions show you how to knit in the Portuguese style. The last part of the book is devoted to 20 modern knitting patterns based on traditional designs. These include socks, hats, shawls, bags and pot holders, all in colours and yarns sympathetic to the original items.

For anyone who loves knitting and is interested in traditional crafts and the stories behind them, this book will be a valuable source of inspiration they will turn to again and again.



More than just a history book or a handicraft manual, Portuguese Knitting is a journey into Portugal's knitting heritage. Traditional patterns and techniques are brought up to date in the form of beautiful modern pieces such as socks, hats, shawls, cowls, pot holders and leggings.

Portuguese knitting differs from regular knitting in the way the wool is held; it can either be passed through a special Portuguese knitting pin attached to the knitter's clothes, or looped around the neck and then over a finger.

Easy-to-follow instructions and clear illustrations allow beginners or more experienced knitters to recreate historical pieces in an original, contemporary way. You can make the projects as they are shown, or use other colours to create your own unique and original gifts.
