The inspiration for Hannah comes from works by the Danish artist Løfberg, created with simple tools such as rough paper strips and BIC ballpoint pens. Particularly, the rough, woven paper, where he reuses paper scraps, invites touch, allowing one to feel the irregularities and lines.
The pattern in Hannah, like Løfberg’s woven work, is designed to be both seen and touched. Let your fingers slide over the small knots, neatly aligned side by side, separated only by lines formed by rib panels.

Hannah cardigan is worked top down with a European
shoulder construction. You begin at the top of the neck, where increases are worked on each side within the ribbed edges. Once the full back width is reached, the back is knitted straight
down to the bottom of the armhole.
Since the row gauge differs between the knot pattern
and the ribbed edges, short rows are worked, skipping
the stitches in the rib panels on every 7th and 8th row
of the knot pattern.
Then stitches are picked up along the sloped shoulders
of the back, and each front piece is worked separately
unto the bottom of the armhole. The back and the fronts are joined, and the remainder of the body is worked in one piece, finishing with a ribbed edge and an Italian bind-off.
Before the sleeves are knitted, the button bands and
neckline are worked. Stitches are picked up along both
front pieces, and the button band and buttonhole band
are knitted in double knitting. The vertical buttonholes
are worked without breaking the yarn.
Once the button bands are finished, stitches are picked
up along the neckline, and the neckband is also worked
in double knitting.
Finally, stitches are picked up along the armholes, and
the sleeves are worked straight down, ending with a
ribbed edge and an Italian bind-off.
