The Bergen Cardigan is a stunning creation that beautifully combines Scandinavian motifs with a touch of Fair Isle knitting influence. This design was born out of a desire to adorn a simple, wearable shape with intricate all-over patterning featuring gorgeous colourwork motifs. The cardigan boasts a comfortable, relaxed fit with modified drop shoulder sleeves. The button bands and neckband are skillfully worked in corrugated ribbing, adding a distinctive texture to the piece. Even the hems and cuffs are adorned with the same corrugated ribbing, creating a harmonious and intricate look. It's truly a masterpiece that brings together the best of Scandinavian and Fair Isle knitting traditions.

In Stock Yarns:  We will pick and ship your in-stock yarn as soon as possible, within a few business days. Please note that if your order also includes dyed-to-order yarns you will need to allow up to 1 - 2 weeks for us to dye and ship your yarn.

Working with Hand Dyed Yarn:While we strive for consistency, due to the hand dye process variations may exist between (and with some colourways within) dye lots. Therefore it is important to order sufficient yarn for your project, and if a uniform result is preferred we suggest alternating skeins. We hope that you will value and appreciate the beautiful and unique creations of the hand dye process and are always happy to assist you in working with hand dyed yarns!
