ABOUT THE DESIGN
Helga Isager writes:
My Little Kirsten Shirt is constructed the same way as the adult version, Kirsten Shirt, however, I have chosen to knit it in Isager Soft Fine, making it soft and child friendly. Isager Soft has a meterage of all of 150 m per 25 grams, so the garment is very light and airy. First, the body is worked sideways and shaped with short rows. If one wishes to knit a dress, the garment is easily made longer by casting on more stitches.
Stitches are picked up for the yoke, and at the same time a welt ridge is knitted, which hides the cast on edge, making a nice and clean wrong side. The shirt has a front placket and at the neck another welt ridge is made, which is finished with a curled edge.
Little Kirsten can be knitted in sizes 2 – 12 years.

ISAGER LITTLE ARCHIVES
During a knitting workshop in Tversted where Helga Joná Thórunnardóttir and Helga Isager taught techniques used in the Isager Archives Collection, a kind participant suggested that the collection should be made for children as well. The idea was obvious and completely in the spirit of Åse Lund Jensen, as she was known for her sweaters for children that often also came in adult size, so that mother and child could match.
Luckily, almost all the designers were into the idea, and we are therefore pleased to be able to launch Little Isager Archives from September 2nd. Some of the models will be exact child-versions of the originals, whilst others will just have recognizable elements. The collection will be styled and photographed by our talented team, and the patterns will be available, as usual, via the designer’s individual platforms. Alle 10 designs are of course made with Isager yarn, and the sizes range from 2-12 years.
