New Nordic Unisex Collection – Knitting Pattern Book
Designed by ARNE & CARLOS
The New Nordic Unisex Collection brings together the instantly recognisable design style of ARNE & CARLOS, drawing inspiration from traditional Norwegian Acanthus ornamentation found in historic wood carvings, rosemaling (rose painting), and the decorative details of Norway’s 1,000‑year‑old stave churches.
This striking collection reimagines heritage Nordic motifs in a contemporary, wearable way. The result is a series of unisex designs that balance bold patterning with timeless silhouettes, making the garments both expressive and practical for modern wardrobes.
Worked in Rowan favourites Kidsilk Haze, Felted Tweed, and Alpaca Classic, the designs showcase rich texture, beautiful colourwork and luxurious fibre combinations. Each piece reflects ARNE & CARLOS’ masterful approach to knitting as both craft and storytelling, celebrating Scandinavian tradition through modern hand‑knit design.
