Knitting Scandinavian Style Arne and Carlo

Published in 2014 by Search Press, Knitting Scandinavian Style represents a significant entry in the bibliography of the Norwegian design duo Arne Nerjordet and Carlos Zachrison. Known globally as Arne & Carlos, the pair gained international acclaim for their ability to modernize traditional Scandinavian knitwear, particularly the classic Setesdal patterns. This book was conceived as both a tribute to their heritage and a practical guide for hobbyists, aiming to make complex traditional techniques accessible to contemporary makers.

The design of the book reflects the duo's signature aesthetic: a blend of high-fashion sensibility and cozy, folk-art-inspired practicality. Featuring photography of their home and studio, the book places their designs within the context of the Norwegian landscape and lifestyle. Upon its release, it was well-received by the crafting community for its clear instructional style and for successfully introducing traditional Norwegian motifs to a broader, international audience who were increasingly interested in slow fashion and heritage crafts.
