ABOUT THE DESIGN
Anne says about the design:
LITTLE KARLA is my contribution to the joint collection LITTLE ISAGER ARCHIVES. Inspiration is found in Åse Lund Jensen’s knitting patterns from the 50s and 60s. The specific knitting pattern I have taken as a starting point is Brikker, a cape with a matching hat. At first glance, I was attracted by the graphic pattern in a slipped stitch pattern, which I have chosen to reinterpret here. Initially, I developed the pattern KARLA CAPE for adults, which came out in March 2024 as part of the ISAGER ARCHIVES collection. Now, it is also available for children as a more classic cardigan.
The slipped stitch pattern is a simple technique that lets you knit a two-color pattern using only one color at a time. This means the knitting might appear as stranded colorwork but is worked with only one color at a time. As a result, this method is beginner-friendly and much easier to knit.

ISAGER LITTLE ARCHIVES
I forbindelse med et strikkekursus i Tversted, hvor Helga Jona Thórunnardóttir og Helga Isager underviste i teknikker, brugt i Isager Archives-kollektionen, foreslog en sød kursist, om ikke kollektionen skulle udkomme i børnestørrelser. Idéen var oplagt og helt i Åse Lund Jensens ånd, da hun var kendt for sine elskede sweatre til børn, som ofte også fandtes i voksenstørrelse, så mor og barn kunne matche.
Heldigvis var næsten alle designere med på idéen med en børnekollektion, og vi er derfor glade for at kunne lancere Little Isager Archives fra 2. september. Nogle af modellerne vil være præcise børneversioner af originalerne, mens andre blot vil have genkendelige elementer. Kollektionen styles og fotograferes af vores dygtige team, og opskrifterne udkommer, som de plejer, på designernes egne platforme. Alle 10 designs er naturligvis strikket i Isagergarn, og størrelserne er fra 2 – 12 år.
