Stavkirke

While motoring back to the Rocky Mountain West from the Hamann farm outside Chicago last week, we stopped in South Dakota, particularly in the wonderful town of Rapid City and revisited a fave place, an exact replica of the little chapel in Norway, home country of my ancestors. The delightful gift shop is grass roofed with a friendly and knowledgeable woman inside. There is also a little museum on the grounds in which I found a mystery. Is this little cradle blanket knitted?? What are these beautiful stitches? Any ideas? (Click on photo for a closer look).
