Fishermen’s Knits from the Coast of Norway
Authors: Line Iversen & Margareth Sandvik
Three hundred years ago, Norwegian fishermen went to sea no matter the wind or weather—and they needed warm, comfortable, durable sweaters to protect them from the cold while they worked. Now, photographs and documentation of surviving examples have been brought together to form the foundation for this collection: timeless traditional patterning applied to modern styling and shaping, for a selection of sweaters, cardigans, hats, mittens, vests, and more, for men and women, rooted deeply in the rich tapestry of Norwegian history.
- Learn the stories behind traditional handmade knitwear: who made it, the lives they lived, and where and how it was used
- Explore techniques including stripes, blocks, lice, ribbing, cabling, and more
- Adapt reimagined designs to your own style—pullover or cardigan, buttons or zipper, scoop neck or boat neck, in any combination
Line Iversen was born in 1976 in Trondheim, and now lives in Ålesund. She is a historian and museum curator who specializes in women’s history, everyday history, and textiles; she has written several articles for Norwegian publications based on the textile collections at Sunnmøre Museum.
Margareth Sandvik is a professor of Norwegian at OsloMet (the Metropolitan University of Oslo). She designs colorful traditional knitwear, and contributed patterns to the book Squares, Stripes, and Lice, from Trafalgar Square Books.

Emily Carter –
Absolutely love the craftsmanship of these knits! They are warm, durable, and have a beautiful traditional design. Perfect for cold weather fishing trips.
John Smith –
The quality is top-notch, just as I expected from Norwegian products. The knit patterns are authentic and the wool is very soft. Highly recommended!
Laura Bennett –
These knits are not only functional but also stylish. I’ve received so many compliments. Great purchase for anyone who loves maritime culture.
Chris Johnson –
Very warm and comfortable, but the sizing runs a bit small. I would suggest ordering a size up. Otherwise, it’s a great product.
Sarah Miller –
The knits are beautifully made, but I found them a bit itchy. Maybe they need to soften over time. Still, a quality product.
Michael Davis –
Excellent for outdoor activities, especially in windy and wet conditions. The wool keeps you warm even when it’s damp.
Emma Wilson –
The colors and patterns are stunning. It’s like wearing a piece of Norwegian heritage. Very pleased with my purchase.
David Brown –
Good quality knits, but the price is a bit high. If you’re looking for authentic Nordic wear, it’s worth it.
Olivia Taylor –
I bought this as a gift for my husband who loves fishing. He was thrilled with the authenticity and warmth. Great choice!
Daniel Martinez –
The knits are well-made, but I wish they had more modern designs. Still, the quality compensates for the traditional look.
Sophia Anderson –
These are the perfect addition to my winter wardrobe. The wool is high quality, and I feel like I’m wrapped in a cozy Norwegian fjord.
