Designed for the Isager Archives 2 collection 2025

BETH WARMER can be worked as an open vest with binding bands on the sides, or as a neck warmer. Both variants have in common that they are a pleasantly warm layer under the outerwear and an elegant accessory over a shirt on cool days.
The project does not have to be sewn together and is made from top to bottom in a combination of weaving pattern and smooth right.

Gauge
20 stitches × 42 rows in the MODEL on needle 4 mm = 10 × 10 cm Watch for a relatively loose thread tension when knitting the MODEL so that the tension threads on the back are not too tight and the work contractes as a result. This is especially true in the rows in which the tension threads are threaded over
7 or 9 stitches. On my YouTube channel you can see how I knit the MODEL.

The first Isager Archives collection was inspired by Åse Lund Jensen’s designs from the 60s and 70s. The Source of inspiration for the Isager Archives 2 collectionMarianne Isager’s designs from the 80s and 90s.
15 of Denmark’s most talented knitting designers spent a weekend with us in Tversted, with access to Marianne’s extensive sample collection.
The designers used one or more patterns as inspiration for their respective contributions to the Isager Archives 2 collection.
