Blue & White Norwegian Snowflake Hand Knit Wool Cardigan Sweater / One Size

Contemporary interpretation of a Norwegian cardigan sweater is hand knitted from a Vogue Knitting Magazine c.2000's pattern in soft warm worsted weight all new high quality Norwegian wool yarn. Pretty pattern that is expertly knitted. Six handmade Scandinavian pewter snowflake buttons adorn the front button band. A lattice border trims the bottom border and the cuffs substituting for the ribbing used in earlier Norwegian patterns. The lattice borders and the standing neck band lend a more casual modern look to this sweater than the tightly knit ribbing in older variations of this theme. This charming sweater has both a ski lodge and a nautical feel simultaneously - giving the blue and white color way and the classic Selbu rose pattern the look of Naval stars! Wear this sweater with white pants on a sail boat on breezy spring days as well as apres ski in the lodge during a winter vacation. The yarn is soft & cozy wool / not crisp & scratchy. The pretty handmade buttons are pewter, but look like sterling silver. It took a highly skilled knitter over 60 hrs to knit this work of art! It is a treasure.
