The Hjartrosa sweater and hat are inspired by the 1800s Norwegian Selbu knitting style as well as the popular Norwegian ski jumpers of the 1950s. The sweater features a ‘hjartros’ pattern, which are a more rounded Selbu rose that gives a more heart-like appeareance. Both the pullover and the hat also feature the dotted ‘lus’ pattern from the famous Norwegian ‘lusekofter’.
