Edda Sweater

**EDDA SWEATER** The distinctive vertical lines of the Edda Sweater are inspired by Marianne Isager’s design Krydser from the 1980s. It has been designed with respect for the original and iconic expression. Edda Sweater is classic aesthetics expressed in stitches. It is the result of a harmonious fusion between two time periods and two designers’ love of graphic expression and the timelessness. Designed for the Isager Archives 2 Collection 2025**strong text** **About the pattern** The Edda Sweater is worked in stockinette stitch using the jacquard technique following a chart. The sweater is worked top down with a European shoulder seam. First, the top of the back yoke is worked in the flat. Next, stitches are picked up for the front pieces along each shoulder line on the back piece. When the top part of the front pieces are finished and the neck opening is shaped, the sections are joined and worked back and forth until the armhole depth is reached. Then, front piece and back piece are joined to form the body which is worked in the round following the chart. The body is worked until it reaches the desired length. Then, the ribbing is worked, and the stitches are bound off with the Italian bind off technique. Stitches are picked up along the armhole, and the sleeve is worked top down in the round. In the end, stitches are picked up along the neck opening. In this pattern, one of the threads is dominant throughout the work. This creates a neat and uniform look. **Sizes and measurements** Sizes: 1 (2) 3 (4) Bust circumference: 104 (122) 139 (156) cm Fits a chest measurement of: 80-92 (92-110) 110-127 (127-144) cm Whole length, measured mid back from below the neckline: approx 53 (58) 62 (62) cm Length: approx 29 (32) 34 (34) cm (measured from the underarm) Sleeve length: approx 43 (44) 45 (43) cm **Yarn** Isager Tweed, 70 % Wool/30 % Mohair, 200 m/50 g from Isager Garn Highland Wool, 100 % Wool, 275 m/50 g from Isager Garn **The Edda Sweater worked in Charcoal and Oak** *Main color* 200 (200) 250 (300) g Isager Tweed in color Charcoal (one thread) 150 (150) 200 (250) g Highland Wool in color Charcoal (one thread) Two threads – one of each yarn quality – are held together throughout the work. *Pattern color (dominant)* 150 (200) 200 (250) g Isager Tweed in color Oak (one thread) 100 (150) 200 (250) g Highland Wool in color Stone (one thread) Two threads – one of each yarn quality – are held together throughout the work. **The Edda Sweater worked in Wine and Oak** *Main color* Isager Tweed in color Wine Highland Wool in color Wine *Pattern color (dominant)* Isager Tweed in color Oak Highland Wool in color Stone **Needles** Circular needle 3.5 mm – 80-100 cm Circular needle 4.0 mm – 80-100 cm Circular needle 4.5 mm – 80-100 cm Double-pointed needles 3.5 mm Double-pointed needles 4.0 mm Double-pointed needles 4.5 mm (you do not need double-pointed needles if you use the magic loop technique) Stitch markers Stitch holders or stitch wire **Gauge** 23 sts x 23 rnds on needle 4.5 mm = 10 x 10 cm The gauge is worked in pattern and measured after wash and block.
