Aase Sweater Junior
AASE SWEATER JUNIOR is my contribution to the Little Isager Archives collection. Aase Sweater Junior features a pattern with repetitions creating a stylish, modern Nordic look.
The pattern is inspired by Åse Lund Jensen’s beautiful pattern called “Skæl” which was originally used for a purse design.
In the 1950s and 1960s, Åse created an iconic style with pattern combinations and rhythmic decreases and increases in multi-color knitting. Details which are recreated today in this design with the utmost respect for the original.
In the same series you also find Aase Sweater for adults from the Isager Archives collection.
Both designs are made in collaboration with Isager Yarn 2024

Alternative color combinations for Aase Sweater Junior
Children often love playing with colors, and Aase Sweater Junior can be knit in many different color combinations. For instance, you can choose to switch the main color and the pattern color on the sleeves (see picture further below), or you can choose a completely different color for the sleeves. Give free rein to your imagination! You can even let your child play along and choose the colors for his/her sweater.

About the pattern
The sweater is worked bottom up in the round in pattern according to the charts provided and with stitches for cutting. These stitches are sewn and then cut open to create armholes. Stitches are then picked up for the sleeves which are worked in the round with decreases. In the end, stitches are picked up for the neckline. The Italian cast on and bind off method is used for the ribbings.
