Like a beautiful recollection that you never want to let go of, Precious Memory will accompany you through your everyday life. Experience cosy moments of comfort time and time again when you feel the soft sweater in reverse stockinette stitch against your skin and run your hand over the luxurious textures of the yoke. Its harmonious, clean look is crowned with unusual highlights: stunning Vikkel braids structure the yoke, alternating with the fascinating slip stitch pattern. The delicate ribbed pattern on the waistband is reflected on the slightly flared sleeves, elegantly finishing off the design by Becky Baker. The timeless colour combination of the Melange shades Pure and Hazelnut is gorgeous, but you can, of course, create your very own precious memories with our Cheeky Merino Joy.

Precious Memory is knitted seamlessly in the round from the top down. The yoke showcases an enchanting garter stitch pattern with vertical lines of slip stitches and a two-colour slip stitch pattern intertwined with three Vikkel Braids. Before the body and sleeves are separated, you knit short rows for a perfect fit. The sleeve stitches are placed on hold while you knit the body in reverse stockinette stitch, finishing with a slipped stitch ribbing. The sleeve stitches are returned to working needles and worked in the round, tapering down towards the mid-forearm with shaped decreases. A generous round of increases is introduced, shaping the sleeves to create an elegant A-line flare, adorned with a miniature rendition of the Slipped Stitch Rib pattern, perfectly harmonizing the design.

The theme of our 2024 collection is inspiration. What inspires us to be inventive, to create something? Which small or big moment plants an idea in us and sets us in motion? With the names of the designs in this collection, we have tried to capture a few of these sparks. Precious Memory inspires you like the warm, cosy feeling of dear recollections.
