Ger∂ur sweater (first introduced in our Nordic Knitting Box)
“Ger∂ur” is an Icelandic-inspired sweater with a pretty feminine pattern, inspired by flowers, decorative fair-isle details and a slightly oversize design. The sweater is worked in the round from the top down.
Katrine loves to find her inspiration in nature. Flowers and green plants are essential elements in her life, and this shows everywhere in her private home.
The pattern on this Icelandic sweater is Katrine’s interpretation of flowers.
Designed by Katrine Hannibal for Önling.
