This collection includes ALL 8 KNITTING PATTERNS of the Norse Knits Series.

If you can’t decide which pattern to start with, knit them all 🙂

The sets are
Jormungandr Mitts & Jormungandr Socks: In Norse mythology, Jormungandr is the sea serpent that encompasses Midgard (our world), biting its own tail. These fingerless mittens and socks with their winding braids are a fabulous combination of mystic pattern and beautiful form.

Oden’s Mitts & Oden’s Socks: The possibly best known of the Norse gods goes by many names: Oden, Odin, Wotan, the Allfather and more. He gave one eye to acquire wisdom. Ever winding braids depict the all seeing eye of Oden.

Frigg’s Mitts & Frigg’s Socks:  The Norse goddess of wisdom and patron of motherhood is called Frigg. She is Oden‘s wife and mother of Balder, god of poetry. Her long golden hair is praised in many stories. With simple but gently winding braids this pattern shall represent her beauty and grace, with a wonderful focus on the thumb section on the mittens and a side-centered braid line on the socks.

Heimdallr’s Mitts & Heimdallr Socks Meet Heimdallr, guardian of the burning rainbow bridge called Bifrost, which links Midgard, our world, to the seat of the Gods in Asgard. Heimdallr will sound the horn Gjallrhorn when the end of the world Ragnarök is upon us and fight in the last battle alongside the Norse warriors and gods. Both socks and mittens feature an intriguing combination of nordic braids with exiting thumb details!
