Helga Jóna Thórunnardóttir writes about the draft:
RITA Jacket is my contribution to the joint collection “ISAGER Archives” and is inspired by Åse Lund Jensen’s knitting patterns from the 50s, 60s and 70s.

Rita is inspired by the Pjusk jacket designed by Åse in 1974. It is knitted in loop knitting, has edges of woven knitting and has a zipper. Rita is a beautiful, lightweight model and has many good features and details.
