ABOUT THE DESIGN
Odd Row (Lene Rix) writes about the design:
My contribution to the Isager Archives collection consists of a shirt blouse with a collar and a mosaic knitted yoke along with a simple skirt in mosaic knitting. The inspiration was two patterns from the Isager archives from the 60s and 70s – a fitted blouse with a button placket and a mosaic knitted vest, both of which were typical of the time.
Together Tove Shirt & Skirt make an elegant set – or the shirt blouse can be combined with your favorite trousers and the skirt with a classic shirt. Both styles are knitted in Spinni, which was also used in both original patterns – now with a thread of Silk Mohair added.
Tove Shirt is knitted top-down. First, the collar is worked in rib and then the yoke is knitted in mosaic knitting with one or more contrasting colours. The body and sleeves are in stockinette stitch and decreases are made to define the waist. The sleeves are finished off with mosaic knitted cuffs.
Tove Skirt is a simple mosaic knitted skirt. It can be knitted as a short model for above the knee or as a slightly longer pencil skirt for mid-calf. The skirt is worked in the round, from the waist down, in mosaic knitting.
NEEDLES
Circular needle 4mm
Circular needle 3mm
GUAGE
24 stitches, 48 rows on 10x10cm in mosaic knitting, when washed or steamed.

ISAGER ARCHIVES COLLECTION
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.
