ABOUT THE DESIGN
Lene Holme Samsøe writes:
Little Inge Sweater is the children edition of Inge Sweater. I really think that the pattern is perfect also for children with its playfulness and the clear reference to the style of the 60s and 70s.
The pattern consists of only 3 colors, which makes it fun and simple to play with the colors. It is easy to personalize Little Inge Sweater simply by choosing different colors. The sweater can be playful but also very classic if you choose neutral colors.
I think Jensen Yarn is a perfect yarn for Little Inge Sweater – just like the original Inge Sweater. But I also like the soft combination of Merilin and Alpaca1 worked together, which I used for the sweater in neutral colors.
When making the pattern in sizes from 2 to 14 years, the big challenge was to get the pattern symmetrical and neat along the raglan increases to make the sweater look superb in both small and larger sizes.
Little 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 two colors at a time.

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.
