Viking ships under full sail, with their colorfulsails, flags, and elaborate painted carvings, were poetically referred to as "flowers of the sea." The Viking Age, from about 800 to 1100 CE, was the age of the sleek, speedy long ships capable of long sea voyages. The long ship, a seminal advance in shipbuilding technology, cast the Vikings as the dominant force in medieval warfare, politics, and trade throughout Europe and the Near East. The design for this V-neck is a tessellated pattern of stars and flowers, both popular motifs in Scandinavian knitting.
