Excellent- More about Alterknit Rebellion: Radical patterns for creative knitters
The Honsestrikk knitting movement was a Danish knitting movement from the 1970s that broke away from traditional knitting rules. It featured political messages and motifs, colors clashed, and borders butted up against each other in a riot of color and pattern. Designer Anna Bauer has been inspired by the movement to create a collection of basic designs and patterns so you can choose your own combinations and create and knit your own free, radical knits.

A vibrant and captivating collection of knitting patterns emerges, drawing inspiration from the Honsestrikk movement, a Danish knitting revolution that emerged in the 1970s. This movement, characterized by its bold and unconventional approach, departed from traditional knitting norms and embraced a fresh, vibrant aesthetic. Honsestrikk, which translates to "chicken stitch," was deeply influenced by the radical social and political movements of the time, particularly the women's rights movement. This influence is evident in the personal and political messages conveyed through some of the pattern designs. In contrast to the more conventional fair isle colorwork techniques, Honsestrikk knitting showcased a riot of colors, clashing patterns, and unconventional borders. It was a celebration of freedom and self-expression, allowing knitters to create truly unique and personalized garments and accessories.
Designer Anna Bauer has been deeply inspired by the Honsestrikk movement and has created this collection of basic designs and patterns. These designs provide knitters with the freedom to explore their creativity and experiment with their own unique combinations. With these patterns as a foundation, knitters can unleash their imagination and craft their own free-spirited, radical knits, embracing the spirit of the Honsestrikk movement and creating garments that reflect their individuality and passion.
