Eskimå - Bohus Inspired
Eskimå is a pattern card recipe for a pullover. Eskimå was designed by Anna-Lisa Mannheimer-Lunn for Bohus some time between 1948-1955. A photo of an original pattern card is shown here and is referenced in Bohus Stickning på nytt The Revival on p. 144 as design 273. The pattern reference in the book and on the pattern card describe the garment as being made from 9 colors of finull, ryagarn, and Bohus angora-lambswool. This pattern card shows the red variant (blue was also available) and is for a garment knit bottom up with a yoke knit back and forth. Kits for this and other variants are available from AngoraGarnet. Other pattern cards or test samples may be available to view on the Bohus Stickning section of the DigitaltMuseum.
Projects knitted using the Eskimå pattern card are Bohus Stickning inspired projects. They cannot be called “Bohus Stickning” projects, as they do not meet following 3 criteria: they must be knitted in the colors re-created by Solveig Gustafsson and/or Pernille Silfverberg based on the original Bohus Stickning colour cards, they must be knitted in the required quality of the yarn (lace, 2ply, angora/merino 600m/100g or Lambswool 450m/100g and of course they must be knitted fully using a Bohus Stickning pattern.
