ABOUT THE DESIGN
Lene writes about the design:
My contribution to the Isager Archives collection consisted of a thin shirt blouse with a mosaic
knitted yoke, along with a simple skirt in mosaic knitting. I have chosen to design a slightly warmer set for children. The set consists of a unisex sweater in mosaic knitting, with a voluminous shirt collar – and a short, wide skirt in rib.
The sweater collar tackles the issue of neck openings that are difficult to pull over the head.
Working from the top, the collar is knitted first and the work continues on the yoke. This means there is no cast-on edge restricting the neck opening. The collar warms the neck well like a turtleneck, but without bothering the front of the neck. At the same time, it is easy for the child to see if they have turned it the right way. The skirt is warm and soft with elastic at the waist.
Both are knitted in one strand of Isager Soft – or one of the many other yarn alternatives in the
pattern, which combine more strands and offer several colour options.

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.
