Size guide
The Inge Sweater is meant to have a positive ease of 12-18 cm [4.75-7”], depending on how loose-fitting you would like it to be. Picture shows a sweater with a positive ease of 15 cm [6”]. Find your personal bust circumference by measuring around your chest (or the largest part of your upper body). Then look at the measurements at the beginning of the pattern (these are the finished measurements of the sweater). Positive ease is the difference between your personal measurement and the sweater’s measurement. For example, if your bust circumference is 94cm [37”], a size M will give you a positive ease of 15 cm [6”]. (109 cm – 94 cm = 15 cm). [43” – 37” = 6”]

Lene Holme Samsøe writes about the design:
I have been particularly happy to contribute to the Isager Archives collection, because the inspiration had to come from Åse Lund Jensen’s designs. Her book „Strikning“ (EN: Knitting) inspired me to start writing knitting patterns. In the book, it was the first time I encountered the professional and systematic way of looking at knitting and it made me want to learn all the technical aspects of knitting. One of the best decisions I have ever made!

Åse’s pattern “Stjerner” has been my inspiration for Inge Sweater. It has a clear reference to the patterns of the 60s and 70s – but also to an even earlier pattern tradition.

Anne Ventzel writes about the design:
Inge Sweater is knitted top-down. The pattern is only worked in the round, as the short rows are worked before the pattern begins, and you knit with no more than 2 colours at a time.
It was important for me to get the pattern symmetrical and neat along the raglan increases to make the sweater look superb in all sizes.

For me, the Inge Sweater is a modern classic, and therefore it was obvious to knit it in Åse’s own yarn, Jensen Yarn. It is a three-ply wool yarn that is produced in Denmark, is durable and ages beautifully.
