Petition given to all six sheriffs on how sweaters (skipstroyggja) should be knit in the future, along with a new model sweater (8 pieces made). The sweaters should be white with dark pattern thread (korkalitt). The knitters could determine the patterns themselves; the more patterns, the better. However, the float should not be longer than four stitches.

Thirty thousand four hundred eleven sweaters knitted for resale/export.

The Norwegian Storting (government) orders all infantrymen to wear Faroese sweaters under their uniforms during the winter.

Collection of patterns from around the Faroe Islands starts.

The book Føroysk Bindingarmynstur (Faroese knitting patterns) is published. The book has been re-published many times and is considered the most important pattern book on the Faroe Islands.
