This is a lovely collection of patterns from the famous Danish brand Knitting for Olive. I like that they include texts about their philosophy, their yarn and their processes. The patterns are typical of their style, but still different enough to make me want to knit most of them. What I do wish, however, is that they showed the same pattern on different bodies to see how it fits different types (yes, there is one pattern modeled by a bigger woman, but overall the aesthetic is very much thin and Scandinavian). Nonetheless a good selection of patterns (and if you are a seasoned knitter you can always go to ravelry to look for the patterns on different body types).

This book has some beautiful patterns, especially the chunky rib sweater. There is also a nice range of difficulty among the patterns.
The information at the beginning about the start of Knitting of Olive was very interesting too. And the techniques section in the back is a good reference.
Thank you, NetGalley, Octopus Publishing, and Knitting for Olive, for sending this book for review. All opinions are my own.
