Nordic ski sweaters are classic examples of the knitter’s art, incorporating almost-abstract snowflake motifs and geometric patterns that go back for generations. To interpret this tradition and give it a fresh look, I design this pullover with snowflake bands that point down from the neck and run along the saddle shoulder, intersecting with borders that repeat on the sweater’s edges.
