ABOUT THE DESIGN
Knitthing (Tine Rousing) writes about the design:
Agnes Sweater is my contribution to the collection ISAGER ARCHIVES. The sweater is inspired and designed based on Åse Lund Jensen’s model called FÆRØ TRØJEN, which is a multicolored sweater for both children and adults.
In my interpretation I have combined the classic raglan sweater with a balaclava, which is worked in extension of the neck edge with exciting details. The model is worked mostly in twisted rib, which is inspired by the time where the model is originally from. The yoke is worked in two strands of Highland Wool. The multicolored pattern is simplified and worked with 2 colors of Spinni for a color mix.
The Agnes Sweater is worked top-down ending with a loose rib at the bottom, which gives the model a fine silhouette.

ISAGER ARCHIVES KOLLEKTION
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 design.
The Isager Archives collection consists of 12 modern and timeless pieces of knitwear.
