Learn About Me

The purpose of my business, Faroeknit, is to share the extraordinary Faroese knitting culture with every knitter out there. To make a piece of the Faroese knitting culture available to you and everyone interested in Scandinavian-style knitting. 

The name Faroeknit derives from two terms: "Faroe" and "knit". I chose this name for my business because I base my knitting patterns on traditional Faroese patterns. I also put my own interpretation on them.

I am the first Faroese knit designer to make knit patterns available as PDF downloads in the English language on Ravelry.com. All designs from Faroeknit are in both Danish and English. The Faroese people are known for their Boatman's jerseys, knitted in two colours, often with a natural white as the base and a reddish-brown as the contrast. Several of my knit patterns feature two colours, as these Boatman's jerseys did back in the day. 

I make knitting tutorials on YouTube, and you are welcome to visit my channel here.

I offer you free support when you buy one of my knit patterns. Send an email to faroeknit@gmail.com if you have questions, and I will get back to you asap.

Best wishes,

Randi Ravnaborg
