ABOUT THE DESIGN
Other Loops (Maja Kløvdal) writes about the design:
JOHANNE_LOOP_SWEATER draws inspiration from the ‘Alstrøje’. A sweater in nuanced knitting designed in the 1960s-1970s by Åse Lund Jensen, the founder of the company that later became Isager. The interpretation is based on the original pattern repeat, and the shift in nuances is emphasized as the colours graduate from the top down over the sweater via the pattern repeat that extends to the bottom.
The sweater is knitted top down. To ensure a good fit, short rows are worked at the top of both the back, shoulders, and sleeves. The body and the lower part of the sleeves are knitted in two-coloured colourwork according to chart.
NEEDLES
Circular needles 4 and 4,5 mm (40, 80 and/or 100 cm), circular needles 3,5 mm (40 cm). Double pointed needles in the same size or circular needles (80 cm) if you knit using the Magic Loop technique.
GUAGE
22 sts x 30 rows in stockinette stitch on needles 4 mm = 10 x 10 cm.
22 sts x 25 rows in colourwork on needles 4,5 mm = 10 x 10 cm.

ISAGER ARCHIVES COLLECTION
In the summer of 2023, Helga Isager invited a group of Denmark’s best knit designers for an inspiring weekend at Isager in Tversted. Here, they bagan their work on the Isager Archives collection, where all models are inspired by Åse Lund Jensen’s patterns from the 1960s and 1970s.
On the contrary to the political knitwear of the time which cultivate spontaneity and knitting without a pattern, Åse’s designs were always very well thought out and clearly showed her background as a tailor. We treasure her neat patterns and drawings and keep them all in binders which we normally only have access to ourselves.
In the Isager Archives collection, each designer has taken inspiration from one or more patterns from the archives to create a new and contemporary designa.
The Isager Archives collection consists of 12 modern and timeless pieces of knitwear.
